[Iskra]

Falling at Your Feet is gorgeous!

 

[zooperson]

isn't it though. i love the part when bono sings during the final "all fall down"s. brilliant right?

 

[AtomicBono]

Yes, this is the thread I've been waiting for!

I just listened to it last night very cool stuff, very "atmospheric." The Ground Beneath Her Feet and Stateless are two of the best songs U2 has ever done, period. They're both in my top 25 (GBHF is in my top 5... the last minute or so is ). I'd love to hear U2 make more songs like that. Oh, and they have fantastic production.

As for the rest...Falling at Your Feet, Never Let Me Go, and Dancin Shoes are all good (especially Shoes, Bono is extra sexy on that ). I love the "cover" of Anarchy in the U.K. Probably the only stuff I don't like much on the soundtrack is the Satellite of Love covers...U2's cover was good, but the covers on here are mediocre...they're kinda ruined by Milla's screeching imo.

Oh, and don't forget The First Time was on here, one of U2's most beautiful songs.

they're kinda ruined by Milla's screeching imo.

Oh, completely. I know the gal CAN sing (her "Divine Comedy" CD from the early 90s was surprisingly good), so maybe she was doing it as an "in character" thing, but egads. Turn that shit off!

didn't the boys have a good laugh about not saving ground beneath her feet for the album? but bono had already promised it to wim wenders or something. silly bono. these songs are underated due to the fact that they were on the soundtrack and not on an album. forgoten masterpieces

 

[Aardvark747]

Stateless is superb.

 

[MsMofoGone]

The Ground Beneath Her Feet ... incredible emotion !!

 

[Chizip]

stateless

 

[Lancemc]

I looooooooooooooooove this soundtrack. Impeccable. Better than most albums that came out around that time.

Of course the U2 songs are awesome.

Stateless

But everything else is equally as good. I love every version of Satellite of Love, and the neat little Bono/MDH band songs there like Dancing Shoes and Never Let Me Go.

An underappreciated track from this cd though is the First Time (reprise). Daniel Lanois and the MDH band made this little instrumental just melt me. It's so beautiful.

The highlight of the soundtrack is Falling at Your Feet.

To anyone who like that song as much as I do, I URGE you to pick up Daniel Lanois' album "Shine". Not only does it feature that song on it (slightly different version too ) but it features a whole albums worth of other songs in that style and of even greater quality.

Pick it up!

 

[Ellay]

Is Mila Jovavitch tone deaf or what?

 

[MacPhistoPT]

ground beneath her feet is great but stateless...

 

[Bonochick]

"Stateless" is one of my top ten favorite U2 songs. I also adore "The Ground Beneath Her Feet".

 

[Shaliz]

Well, you've convinced me. I just bought this on Amazon.

 

[zooperson]

you won't regret it Shaliz

lanceMC you reminded me that i have been meaning to check daniel lanois's album out for a while, hahaha.

BTW i rather like mila jovavitch singing. it's certainly something unusual, and although slightly deafening, i can dig it.
