About me:

Hi, i am a 23yr old female from Coventry, West Midlands.

I bought this CD when I was working in a shop, we had tapes sent to us from the head office with their choice of songs on. When it was playing I heard a song which I fell in love with and asked who it was by. I was told that it was from City of Angels and the song was Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. I went out and bought the album the same day!
When I got home and listened to the whole thing there was not a single song which I didnt enjoy. In fact after listening to the soundtrack I went back and bought the film knowing that I would like it. The film is very moving and I would recommend it to anyone. The plot concerns a young doctor Maggie (Meg Ryan) and an Angel Seth (Nicholas Cage). Seth meets Maggie when a man dies while Maggie is operating on him, she cant see him but he is drawn to her. He decides that being an Angel isnt enough and he falls to Earth to be with her. I wont ruin the film for anyone who hasnt watched it but the consequences are tragic and the soundtrack complements the film perfectly.

The mood of the different songs are varied - There are emotional songs e.g Angel by Sarah McLachlan, I Grieve by Peter Gabriel and I know by Jude.

There are upbeat songs like Red House by Jimi Hendrix and Mama You Got a Daughter by John Lee Hooker.

There is a gorgeous sensous song by Paula Cole - Feelin Love

And there are just some good overall songs which are lovely to listen to and songs that I know I dont get bored of like Alanis Morrisette Uninvited or the great U2 with If God Will Send His Angels.

There are also musical scores from the film which are very poignant.

I would recommend this album if you enjoy songs which make you feel sadness and hope. When you have watched the film you can relate to the songs in a more personal way i.e if you feel emotion during parts of the film because the songs are so accurate for the scene you can find yourself thinking about the scene whilst listening to the songs.

I would imagine that no matter what type of music you are into there is a song on this album for you. And if you are anything like me then the whole album is a bonus to have!
