Dawson's creek, a drama series about 5 teenagers (6 till Andie left, sob..sob) has an amazing soundtrack. While watching I always seem to find myself thinking how perfectly the songs were chosen to match each scene and also how much I would love to have some of the songs on Cd so I could sing along with them. Now I can and so can you, with Dawsons Creek volume 1 and 2 out to by in most good entertainment shops such as Virgin and HMV and they only costs around £10.99 each.
Both album covers have a picture of the four main cast members on the front, which if your a Dawson's Creek fan will attract you straight away.
I dont own volume 1 so I cant give a review on that but I am the proud owner of volume 2. Volume 2 varies through out the world but us lucky ones in the UK have the most songs on our version. There are 19 songs, with the first 13 appearing on all other albums.

As you can see there are way to many songs to give you a quick review of them all so i've decided to pick a few (mostly my favourites) to give you an idea whats on the album.
Jessica Simpsons, I think I'm in love with you kick starts the album. To be honest this is one of my least favourites and it is so different from the soft rock and ballads on the album. It is almost a pop song. However this is still a great song and Jessicas voice is amazing.
I'm gonna make you love me by the Jayhwaks is amazing this is one of my favourite songs from the album. It is a soft rock beat and makes you think that you can make whoever want love you. I remember when my boyfriend and I were just friends, I realised that I had fallen for him and after a drunken snog the next morning he said that we shouldn’t have kissed and that he didn’t want to be with me. After a quick sob I listen to this song and went out to make him love me. Now we've been together for almost 2 years.
Five for Fightings Superman is amazing my boyfriend like this song so much he went out and bought their album. It's great to listen to when you've failed something, because it makes you realise that everyone’s human and everyone cant be expected to be able to do everything, even superman. Not only does it make you feel great but it has a great beat and the lead vocalists voice is very unuasual, but it makes the song more interesting to listen to.
My favourite song in the whole world is also on this album. A cover of the Monkies Day Dream Believer by Mary Marziarz is amazing. Its a lot slower than the monkies version and the words are slightly different, I think the Monkies's is better but personally i prefer this version.
Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader is one that everyones heard before. Begining with amazing keyboarding this song just makes you want to get up and dance around your living room.
Finally I have to tell you about Sweet Suburban Sky by Paddy Casey. I love this song, its very mellow and slow, it isnt very instrumental, just a bit of acoustic guitar every now and then. I cant remember when this song was used in the series but a tenner bet it was during a very emotional moment, possibly a sad moment.
Aren't you glad I didnt write about every song on the album? I havent got much left to say just that if your a fan of Dawson's I'm sure you'll like this soundtrack. For the rest of you who dont watch it (???) if you like your soft rock and ballads then I'm positive that you'll like this album, so go out and buy it NOW!
