Is this why this man is called a genius?

All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
One day you’ll find you’re walking
Lonely
Baby I
Never meant to hurt you
Sometimes the best intentions
Still don’t make things right

But all my ghosts they find me
Like my past they think they own me
In dreams and dark corners they surround me
Till I cry I cry

Let me take this time to set the record straight
Let me take this time to take it all back
Let me take this time to tell you how I felt
Let me take this time to try and make it right

But you can
Walk away
Be all alone
Spend all your time
Thinking about the way things used to be
If love feels right
You work it out
You don’t give it up
Baby

Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that
Anybody tell you that

You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight
You should take some time baby heed the words I said
You should take some time think about your life
You should take some time before you throw it all away

I ain’t got the time
To sit here and wait around
But I got the time
If you say I’m what you want

- Bridges by Tracy Chapman

A heritage of vision
Was given to us all
To smell the rose’s fragrance
To hear the songbird’s call
To watch the distant moonlight fill
The coming of the tides
To understand that life is more
Than always choosing sides

And some have seen what can be seen
Of sailing ships and kings
And some are given feet of clay
And some are given wings
And some must struggle just to breathe
Some have a golden spoon
And some will never leave the nest
While some walk on the moon

And don’t you know the life that lives
Within the silent hills
Is just as rich and beautiful
And just as unfulfilled
As man with all his intellect
His reason and his choice
Oh, who’s to say the nightingale
Has any less a voice

The silver dolphins twist and dance
And sing to one another
The cosmic ocean knows no bounds
For all that lives are brothers
The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear
The elephant, the whale
All children of the universe
All weavers of the tale

So palomino lie back down
And dream yourself to sleep
The hawk flies with the morning dove
The lion with the sheep
As far away as you may go
We’ll never be apart
It’s in your dreams that you will know
The seasons of the heart

~ John Denver

I started listening to soundtracks, i guess about 4-5 years back and since then I have enjoyed so many of them. I am now totally hooked on to instrumentals as a genre. But the thing about OST is that it is not easily accessible on the internet. I have been trying torrent for the last week and it’s been great..getting more of these..

Well, anyway, just downloaded this track from ‘Crash’ the movie called A Really Good Cloak. If anyone has seen the movie, they would realize the scene I am talking about, probably one of the most touching scenes from the movie.

The point, I guess, I am making is that, if you have enjoyed the movie and can place the track in context, I guess you enjoy it even more. Every time, I listen to this, I can feel the moment from the movie…the kid, the father, the mother, the gunman and the invisible cloak….

hmm…really miss watching these amazing movies out here….

Today I wanted to do something of compiling my ten favorite songs in English in the Pop Genre. I started putting down them. Let me see if I can come up with them.

1. Love will keep us Alive - Eagles
2. Scarborough Fair - S&G
3. Man on the Moon - REM
4. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
5. Streets of Philadelphia - The Boss
6. Imagine - John Lennon
7. Vincent - Don Mclean
8. Sealed with a Kiss -
9. Baby Can I hold you - Tracy Chapman

Hey I could only come up with 9 of them in the same class. Maybe I will add to the list later.

Taking it forward, some of my favorite original soundtracks

1. Forrest Gump
2. Last of the Mohicans
3. All the Pretty Horses
4. Braveheart
5. Legends of the Fall
6. The Piano
