Advantages: Great Compilation of Diffent Musical Styles Disadvantages: None
...soundtracks. However, after watching City of Angels and hearing the music in the film, I knew this was one I would enjoy. This soundtrack is a wonderful compilation of several genres of music. There are Alanis Morissette's hard-hitting Uninvited and Paula Cole's sexy and sizzling I Feel Love. Emotionally, these songs are 180 degrees apart from one another, yet both fit well with the way Maggie felt about Seth in different times during the movie. ... ...remember this rock and roll legend at his best.
One of my favorite songs on this soundtrack is Jude's I Know. There is one phrase in this song that I'd like to coin for myself. It goes: "You've got such a pretty smile, it's a shame the things you hide behind it." It's perfect for people who often attempt hide their troubles or sad memories beneath a happy face.
There are a couple of bluesy tunes that may make you want to get up and dance, which ...

...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 ... ...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 ...

Advantages: Great easy listening music with a touch of folk. Disadvantages: None
I hadn't heard anyone talk about the 'City of Angels' movie until I got the chance to sit down and watch it, and I was an emotional wreck by the end of it.
Just like the movie, you can expect the same quality for the music.
Sarah McLaughlin is great, she's a cross between Vonda Shepard and Paula Cole, simply superb.
Her music will send you into a world of your own and make your mind inhale a deep breathe of relaxation. It's true!
Even her album ...

Advantages: moving music, different styles Disadvantages: none
Even if you didn't like the film, you ll like the soundtrack. On this album is a good variety of different styles, which move you in a number of ways.
Some of the tracks are a modern classical style, whereas some are by contemporary artists such as Alanis Morrisette. In general the soundtrack is very relaxing and not too rock but it isn't all 'classical'. Chances are that if you have seen the film then you will be moved by the soundtrack but even ...
