You've Got Mail: Music From The Motion Picture [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The latest Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie directed by Nora Ephron (Sleepless in Seattle) about two coworkers who hate each other at work and unknowingly fall in love on the Internet features an extremely eclectic soundtrack that's less technologically advanced than its movie's premise. There's no gratuitous raving or computer-buzzing techno, just pensive singer/songwriters and oldies that tug at the heartstrings. Louie Armstrong weighs in with "Dummy Song." Jimmy Durante pops up for "You Made Me Love You." Randy Newman's song for Frank Sinatra, "Lonely at the Top" (which Sinatra turned down), fits alongside Sinead O'Connor's spirited pass at Harry Nilsson's "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City." The late Nilsson himself is represented by "The Puppy Song" and "Remember." Stevie Wonder's soul shouter "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" pumps things up, while Roy Orbison's "Dream" has his trademark sense of mystery and despair. --Rob O'Connor

Some nifty tracks, but as a DJ mix, it makes more sense on screen.

Never has a movie been more dependent on it's soundtrack. I love it........2007-05-17

I'll be the first to concur with comments like "I love it," or "great mix of favorites." But "greatest soundtrack ever? That statement alone is purely subjective. This soundtrack even more. If there is one declaration that can be made without debate, it's that never has a movie depended more on it's soundtrack. The music and songs in this movie are vital to it's pulse. Though it's one of those movies that feels it's necessary to always have music running to some extent (the mark of a cheap feeling movie, mostly), it's quite necessary for this movie which lacks in writing. The music does a lot for the mood setting in this contrived, simplistic story, particularly in my opinion Carole King's closing ballad, "Anyone At All." Oh, I love this movie and own the DVD, and just got the soundtrack. But let's face it folks, this ain't Oscar material (for what THAT'S worth). This movie to me is one of those guilty pleasures. You know what you get going into it. And in that Nora Ephron (whose "Sleepless in Seattle" I detested) goes beyond the call, particularly at setting the mood of this movie, and the feel of the neighborhood where it largely takes place. Even if that does create a kind of Utopian version of New York City. And a large part of that is due to Ephron's choice of music. The flow of this movie is in the music. Even the most subtle of cuts- the 2-3 second Godfatheresque cut after Kinnear's response to Ryan's "You know what it means to go to the mattresses?", and the upbeat Godfather II-like piece that accompanies Ryan's shadow boxing behind the counter as she's (in her own way) preparing to fight for her store's life. But the music is great. Listening to the CD is visualizing the movie as you go about whatever you're doing. You can't listen to any cuts from this soundtrack and not picture the scene and dialogue. That's a good soundtrack. I'll always keep a copy of, oh, Black Sabbath's Greatest Hits right next to it in case any of my buddies happen by so I won't be ostracized. But when they're gone, I actually crank this.

The best soundtrack ever.......2007-03-29

Great songs for an even greater movie. As well as Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's performances, the artists included here really exceeded all expectations. Furthermore, I believe everybody should have a closer look at Sinead O'Connor's incredible performance in "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City": specially since the 9/11 terrorist attacks this song has become even more touching every time you hear it.

My favorite Movie Soundtrack.......2007-03-08

I love this soundtrack.Its upbeat and happy. Fun to listen to in my shop.

You've Gort Mail Soundtrack.......2006-02-23

Excellent. Close your eyes and you feel like the movie is playing!! Especially liked the Nilsson tunes.

Thoroughly enjoyable soundtrack.......2006-02-13

Having adored the film the moment I saw it, I couldn't wait to get the soundtrack. Not only did it not disappoint, but it included all the songs that make the movie so memorable. From the sweet Cranberries hit, Dreams, that fit perfectly to the vibe of NYC's Upper West Side, to the gentle sadness of Ray Orbison's Dream, each song fits the story like a glove. With a total of 15 tracks, this soundtrack is a complete joy to listen to over and over again. My toddlers even get a kick out of the oldies, Splish Splash an Rockin' Robin. It's a soundtrack to entertain all ages.
