The Me Before You Soundtrack
Me Before You is a beautifully done movie about life, love, and how we choose to live our lives. I've watched it many, many times. The very first time I watched it, I noticed the music was fitting, touching, and powerful.
Many times the soundtracks to movies are just the background of the movie, helping set the tone but not really music that can stand alone. I feel like the individual songs on Me Before You can stand alone. They are touching and powerful. Songs I'll sing along to (when I'm alone).
When Don't Forget About Me played during the movie, during the scene that Louisa, Will, and Nathan are returning from holiday, the voice singing was haunting. I thought maybe it was Adele singing, but there were some differences that even my untrained ear could hear. But that voice.....
It turns out the voice that gives me goosebumps belongs to Cloves (Kaity Dunstan). She was on The Voice Australia, season 2.
With the exception of Ed Sheeran, I've not heard of the singers/groups performing on this soundtrack. Maybe you have. Especially if you are one of our readers from Australia or the UK. I will not attempt to comment on the talent of the singers listed below. Nor will I try to explain why each and every song below moves me. I will encourage you to listen to the samples that Amazon provides, and decide for yourself whether or not these songs are your cup of tea.
The songs on the Me Before You Soundtrack are:
- Numb - Max
- Happy With Me - Holy Child
- Unsteady - X Ambassadors (Erich Lee Gravity Remix)
- Till the End - Jessie Ware
- The Sound - The 1975
- Surprise Yourself - Jack Garratt
- Don't Forget About Me - Cloves
- Photograph - Ed Sheeran
- Not Today - Imagine Dragons
I agree, Dawn Rae. I listened to the samples and the music is very moving.
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely made me want to listen to this!
ReplyDeleteMusic always affects what I think of a movie. Frequently, a theme song will stick with me days after I have watched a movie and cause me to recall scenes from the movie. The song that stood out for me on "Me Before You" was "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran. Of course, I believe photographs capture a perfect moment that we can keep with us always.
ReplyDeleteExcellent songs! had no idea about this one - adding some of these songs to my playlist, love them!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the movie, so I was unfamiliar with the songs. I did like the sample of Photograph, though. I like that style of music and like to hear more than one voice for the harmony.
