Felicity: Senior Year [Soundtrack]

felicity: senior year [soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The soundtrack to Felicity's fictional final college year, Senior Year is tinged with many of the same emotions found in real senior years--sadness, love, and a desire to hold on to the present for just a little while more. A talented and diverse crop of singer-songwriters communicates these nuanced feelings through inoffensive, stripped-down rock tracks. Alt-country's Ryan Adams offers a subdued piano-and-acoustic ode to being torn between lovers, chanteuse Chantal Kreviazuk warbles strongly about longing, and country singer Shelby Lynne seduces with a steamy soul number. Other highlights include Andy Stochansky, sounding like Belle and Sebastian fronting Travis; Jude's warm tenor and guitar tones conjuring the best power pop of the 1970s; and Sixpence None the Richer's new track, a beautiful string-laden delicacy. Despite how easy it would be for the sticky topics of desire and love to become sappy, Senior Year largely avoids such pitfalls. Better still, the album rarely sounds bland, coming across instead as a compilation of brainy coffeehouse poetry matched word for word by equally interesting instrumentation. --Annie Zaleski

5 out of 5 stars Most Gorgeous TV Soundtrack Ever .......2007-06-27

Felicity was my favourite tv show during high school. It was so easy to relate to the emotions the characters felt, even if some of the things they went through were a little unrealistic or at times too much for a teenager to understand.

This soundtrack - that is not available in Australia - is the most beautiful compliation of music I have experienced. The soundtrack definately captures the feel of the show. It is full of little gems - artists that are well-kept secrets (at least from this part of the world).

I am glad I purchased it. Now I will definatly have to track down the other three.

Get it if you can. Enjoy it! Reminis about one of the best shows ever on TV (when it was not all reality rubbish and celebrity tedium).

Thanks.

3 out of 5 stars not what I expected!.......2006-04-20

This CD wasn't what I expected and I mean that in a bad way. I thought it would be more up-beat, but it ended up being a great CD to sleep to. OH Well, I still loved the songs, but they made me depressed. Buy at your own risk.

4 out of 5 stars felicity: senior year cd review.......2006-03-07

This is a must for all felicity fans!! I mainly purchased this cd because it had the theme song on it! The songs are very "felicity" and will bring you memories of this fantastic and underated show!

Thanks amazon for the quick delivery as i am in australia and i could not locate this cd here in melbourne. fantastic service!

5 out of 5 stars How can anyone NOT LOVE THIS CD????.......2005-09-24

I was and am a huge fan of Felicity. Her freshman year of college was the same year as mine so we kinda grew up and matured together. Senior year was a fun year with great music. I mean wasn't that one reason to watch the show? I like all the songs but my favorite is # 3 Its so pretty! Its a great CD that has a mix of lots of great artists!

5 out of 5 stars I can't take it out of the CD player!.......2005-09-12

I LOVE this CD! The collection of music is so good. I take it out and try to listen to something else and it never lasts too long. :oP I have had this CD for a few weeks now and still I'm not tired of it!
