Free Music Notes for The Godfather (1972 Film)
Free Music Review: Speak Softly Love .....
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack to Coppola's 1972 Godfather can bring you back to the period piece that made Brando, Pacino, and De Niro bona fide stars whose longevity is unquestionable. It's the Sicilian inspired love theme (written By Andy Williams) whose cords still provoke the film stills of Michael Corleone's wedding to his first wife Apollonia that takes your breath away. Whether instrumental or sung .... it's haunting strains are a vivid connection to the movie for anyone who has seen it. It is especially haunting because the music was played as a wedding song for Michael and Apollonia in Italy but NOT for Michael and Kay back in New York, which is telling given how Apollonia's memory seemed to cast a shadow long after her tragic death.
I would highly recommend purchasing this soundtrack along with that for 1988's Cinema Paradiso which has a Sicilian-inspired sound to it too. Both play upon the theme of love lost forever and leaving the country of its happenings as the only way to forget, as Toto was just as haunted by Elena as Michael with Apollonia.
Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love
Free Music Review: The whole score gives chills to the spine.
Hit: 5 Stars
As I recently sat at a hotel bar called Niles on 31st St. & 7th Ave in midtown Manhatten, it was 3 am, the lights were out and I was accompanied by 2 friends and a bartender as it was closing. They look through the CD's and he tells the bartender to put in this CD. He wouldn't tell me what it was. As the music begins to play, I got shivers down my spine, and almost began to shiver. It was a hell of a moment. This is arguably the best movie ever. My parents have the Vinyl origional score, and I can't remember hearing it once. This is in amaizing piece of music. You can picture the scenes as you are listening. You hear Sonny being ambushed, Connie getting married, the horse head, and Luca Brasi swimming with the fishes. So all in all, buy this CDFree Music Review: Relive the film
Hit: 5 Stars
To appreciate this soundtrack fully it is essential to have seen and enjoyed the film although the music is haunting in its own right. Yes, the CD is only just over an half hour in length but quantity is compensated for by quality. The music perfectly captures the moodiness of the film and its period. Buy this CD and you will not be disappointed. It is a low price to pay for owning a 'cut' of movie history - it will be timeless for you.Free Music Review: Godfather Soundtrack a Musical Institution
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the many elements of "The Godfather" which makes it an icon of pop culture is its unforgettable soundtrack. The melancholy, tragic music which makes up the score adds to the tone of the film, and stands alone as great music as well. The sweet, dark, Italian-inspired melodies immediately recall entertainment brilliance.Free Music Review: absolutely fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
nino rota is a genius! not only are his compositions beautiful, they are eerie, they are extremely sexy, and they are even sinister. although this album was put together in 1972, i still wonder why it has never broke through to popular culture. i believe it would be a shame if it is left to be labled as kitsch.
