MOTO MAGNOLIA SOUNDTRACK MOVIE
I was hoping that his included composition (bearing the film's title) was the piece featured in the movie trailer. The song is, at the very least, well placed in it's slot (#12) on the disc. It seems a bit out of place here, but, as I'm sure the film presents some sort of redemption and catharsis near the end of the film. The Gabrielle song, "Dreams", features the only "happy" lyrics on the collection.
They sound as good as ever and it's always fun to hear Roger Hodgeson wail. Most of you have heard "The Logical Song" and "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp.
The additional four songs seem to detract from the (solid) through line created by the first nine tracks. I think the collection would make more sense if it only included the Mann material. In fact, the only real beef I have is the "let's throw this tune on" attitude. I have very few complaints about this effort. The album consists of nine songs by Aimee Mann (formerly of 'Til Tuesday), including a cover of One by Three Dog Night, a couple thrown in from Supertramp, one from Gabrielle and one from the film's score composer, Jon Brion. Okay, so the soundtrack is definitely not a pick-me-up - lyrically anyway. "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know…" Almost nothing… very intimate, desperate tone. Keyboard intro… she starts to sing… No reverb.
Hey this is just getting better and better. The songs will probably pick me up, get me going." "Sure, I'll write a review of the Magnolia soundtrack for you.
