Free Music Notes for Veronica Guerin (Original Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: Hauntingly beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
Having heard of Veronica Guerin's death but knowing little about her life or work, I was very interested in seeing the film. Having Cate Blanchett in the title role was great casting and she is a treat to watch! She's so extremely talented and I don't think she's ever been better than in this role. Watching the movie and hearing the music, I knew I had to purchase the soundtrack and I'm very glad I did. Harry Gregson-Williams has created a memorable, hauntingly beautiful soundtrack and I can't help but play it over and over again. Listening to young Brian O'Donnell's SMASHING performance can send chills running down your spine and makes me think of the innocence and youth of those young people in the film whose lives were shattered by drugs. I loved reading the story of the monumental efforts it took to track down Brian after Mr. Gregson-Williams heard him singing on the streets of Dublin - it was well worth it! Sinead O'Connor's contributions should be applauded as well and greatly add to the success of the soundtrack. Unfortunately, and maddingly, it took Ms Guerin's death for the authorities to quickly change the regulations that led to increased exposure in the press and the authorities being able to apprehend the drug lords and bring them to justice. She should be honored for her tenacity and sacrifice and both the film and soundtrack are worthy memorials to her.Free Music Review: Great Soundtrack - Great Movie - Great Actress
Hit: 5 Stars
To echo the other reviewers on this page, Sinead O'Conner's rendition of "One More Day" is more than worth the price of this soundtrack. Pure and simple, it is one of the most eloquently beautiful songs I've ever heard. The all too brief Gaelic version which ends this film is so haunting that you'll find yourself totally spellbound by it and the imagery which goes with it. If a tear or two doesn't come to your eye, you, my friend, are not human.
While you're lurking about Amazon.com, don't forget to pick up the DVD of this incredible film. As long as Cate Blanchett walks the face of the earth, no one should ever plan on picking up a Best Actress Oscar. Why Ms. Blanchett did not win an Academy Award for this performance defies logic.
Suffice to say you will not feel cheated if you purchase both the soundtrack CD and the DVD of "Veronica Guerin". They've both been grossly underrated. If I could give them both 10 stars, I would. Amazingly good!
Free Music Review: Veronica Guerin: Audio CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Veronica Guerin - I saw the movie first... It was a riveting account of a true story. The artist, Harry Gregson-Williams, along with Sinead O'Connor, rendered a powerfully moving accompaniment to this movie.
I am a collector of movie soundtracks. My resources for the acquisition of soundtracks include the usage of many music libraries. Soundtracks in general are particularly difficult to acquire. If you don't look for them within the first few weeks of the actual movie release, chances are that you'll be unsuccessful at finding a selection at all. This is not so with Amazon Music. I can usually count on finding what I want at Amazon Music. This includes the accompanying artwork. Thank You Amazon
Free Music Review: Excellent music to and underrated movie
Hit: 5 Stars
Veronica Guerin is a good movie, to put it simple. It's not ambitious and it surely fulfills its purpose, to tell the story of a very determined woman, to all of us who had no idea of who she was. This soundtrack is just amazing, it captures the essence of Irish Life and the basic tone of it is very sad and melancholic. The first and last tracks are performed by Sinéad O'Connor and they are so rich and full of emotions even if you don't understand much of it since part of the lyrics is in Gaelic. If you liked the movie tou got to have this CD. If you didn't see the movie, find it it's worth at least renting it. Either choice, this CD is great when you just want some nice music as background when you want to concentrate or don't want to be disturbed, but you certainly don't enjoy silence.Free Music Review: Veronica Gueren is a Beautiful Sound Track
Hit: 5 Stars
Veronica Gueren did only modestly well at the box office. This is most unfortunate for the movie was well worth seeing. The sound track was especially satisfying. Sinead O'Connor has a wonderful voice and records two songs, One More Day and The Funeral. A very young boy, Brian O'Donnell, hauntingly sings Bad News. Any of these three Irish songs easily earns an Academy Award nomination. I would hate to decide between them. You definitely want to purchase a copy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Hugh Gregson-Wilson is both Veronica Gueren's music producer and composer. He wrote all three songs. I will have to make sure to search out his other work.
