Free Music Notes for Basquiat: Original Soundtrack - Music From The Miramax Film
Free Music Review: Where's the opening song?
Hit: 5 Stars
Please folks, where can I find the song that opens the film (the one that is playing as the young Basquiat is walking through the museum with his mother).The first few lyrics I have made out as: "T'was Christmas morning in the drunk tank/An old man said to me 'Won't see another one...'"
I believe the closing credits have Julian Schnabel himself as the songwriter and performer, but the song did not appear on Schnabel's only CD.
Help! Is it John Cale?
Free Music Review: Basquiat Opening Title Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Many people have asked what the opening title track is in the film, Basquiat. The name of the song is "Fairy Tale of New York" by the Pogues. Viewers of the movie may recall an excerpt of the song playing while young Basquiat and his mother are strolling through the museum during the opening credits.Alas, this song is not included in the soundtrack, although the soundtrack is quite an excellent collection of works that fits wonderfully with the film.
Free Music Review: No matter where I am, This album goes with me
Hit: 5 Stars
Both the movie & this soundtrack opened my eyes to a world that I had taken for granted. As an aspiring music connoisseur I find this collection to be nothing short of amazing, spanning heartfelt sorrow to vivid provocation. One question that I didn't see below; I know that PJ Harvey is on the album, but if that is her voice in the film then I am terribly confused.Free Music Review: Enjoy!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved the movie, and have enjoyed the soundtrack...especially Van Morrison, PIL, JD, and Brian Kelly. BTW it states in the thankyou's that some of the music was chosen from JMB's record collection (I think that is where the confusion below is from). If you like minor chords, moody, alternative music, you'll enjoy this CD.Free Music Review: Excellent Compilation Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
Just finished listening to the soundtrack. Excellent. Nice eclectic mix of 80's music. Reason I bought the CD was for "Hallelujah" by John Cale. Happy with the other mix of tracks, pointedly Joy Division, Public Image, Pogues, and Brian Kelly. For anyone in the music/art scene of the 1980's, this CD will invoke memories.
