Free Music Review: A Love That Will Never Grow Old
Hit: 5 Stars
"Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong."
lyrics from 'A Love That Will Never Grow Old' Gustavo Santaollalla's score
The movie's original tunes are composed by Gustavo Santaolalla. Parts of his instrumental score are intertwined with vocals tracks performed by Willie Nelson, Rufus Wainwright, Emmylou Harris, Mary McBride, Teddy Thompson's and others. Santaolalla was born in Argentina and has been called the "guru of alternative Latin musical production". He previously wrote the scores for "21 Grams", "The Motorcycle Diaries" and "The Insider".
Gustavo Santaolalla score is an emotionally powerful one. The original song, "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" was written by Santaolalla and Bernie Taupin and is performed by Emmylou Harris. It is a perfect place for Harris' lovely, ethereal voice, and it won a Golden Globe. He also wrote "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," performed by Mary McBride, and they rank among the best songs. "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me" is the song that I think belongs in the winner's circle.
"Santaolalla explains that he was pushed to a new creative level to write music about a love affair between two cowboys. His unique approach to scoring music was very appealing to director Ang Lee. "Usually the way this business works is that they do a first cut, then they send you the cut and then you start scoring," Santaolalla said. "The way I did [my] last three films is that I read the script, I had a meeting with the director, we talked about it, and then I started composing, writing and recording stuff. And it has been great because it has been very useful for the creative relationship with the director." from TIME magazine.
Other tracks selected for the album are The Gas Band's up tempo instrumental take on "Angel Went Up in Flames," - a little like "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".
Rufus Wainwright's tender ballad, "Maker Makes," is my favorite and that is partly because I am such a Rufus Wainwright fan, the lyrics are:
"Oh Lord, how I know, Oh Lord, how I see,
that only you can the maker make a happy man of me
Get along little doggie, Get along little doggie" are highly evocative of his slow, mesmerizing voice.
"I Don't Want to Say Goodbye" by Teddy Thompson is a lovely western ballad. This is a singer of note and wonder. How have I missed him?
"The Devil's Right Hand" by Steve Earle is earthy and winning.
"King of the Road" by Rufus Wainwright & Teddy Thompson is a swing back to the older version.
"It's So Easy" by Linda Ronstadt is an oldie that somehow found its way to this score.
"He Was a Friend of Mine" by Willie Nelson, seems oddly right in this scene.
"I Will Never Let You Go" by Jackie Greene is lovely and particular.
"The Wings" by Gustavo Santaolalla is the theme of the movie and brings the majesty of the Wyoming mountains to the screen, the love story of two people who happen to be men. The score plays an important role in creating the movie's atmosphere and works well in that situation.
A highly satisfying CD that allows us insight into the emotions of "Brokeback Mountain". Highly recommended. prisrob January 2006
Brokeback Mountain [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Poster
Brokeback Mountain SoundtrackArgentina-born, California-based Gustavo Santaolalla helped shape the rock en Español movement by producing Mexican bands Molotov and Café Tacuba , and Colombian singer Juanes. In the late 1990s he made a switch to soundtracks, working on well-received albums for Amores Perros and The Motorcycle Diaries. His instrumental contributions to Ang Lee's tale of two cowboys in love are acoustic guitar-based and, let's face it, a bit on the sonic-wallpaper side.
The vocal tracks, on the other hand, are uniformly lovely, even if the selection of interpreters falls on the predictable side. Linda Ronstadt, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and Mary McBride on the soundtrack to a contemporary Western? What a shock! Still, they're all wonderful and Santaolalla wrote at least a couple of classic-sounding country ballads ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old," sung by Emmylou Harris, and "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," sung by Mary McBride). And don't miss Teddy Thompson and Rufus Wainwright's sweet cover of Roger Miller's 1964 "King of the Road." --Elisabeth Vincentelli
