I love the music on this soundtrack. Every song is unique and is appropriately played at different parts in the movie. My favorite track is "Samba Da Bencao" by Bebel Gilberto. This track sounds so soothing and romantic. I don't understand a word of Portuguese, but her voice and musical arrangements on this song are beautiful. Joao Gilberto lends his talents on the tracks "S' Wonderful". and "Wave". He has a similar soothing vocal style as his daughter. My other favorite track is the song by Eddie Vedder entitled "Better Days". I believe this is a song about the quest for inner peace. I love the strings and the accordion featured on this song. Eddie's other contribution to this soundtrack is the song "The Long Road". This song features a singer by the name of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. His talent is chanting, and he chants beautiful on this song. This song is very comtemplative. It sounds very pretty too. I love this song. Other songs include the Neil Young classics "Heart Of Gold" and "Harvest Moon". I love the simplicity of Neil Young's lyrics on this tracks. Marvin Gaye's dance hit "Got To Give It Up" can still get me moving. This song coupled with Thank You Falletin Be Mice Elf Agin" gives this soundtrack a soulful quality I really like. Another gem on this song is the instrumental piece "Attraversiamo" by Italian composer Dario Marianelli. Attraversiamo is an Italian word that means cross over This five minute insrumental piece makes my heart soar. I really enjoy the music on this soundtrack.
