The American President "End Titles"

[lazy50]

This score is one of my all-time favorites! Notable others are, 'Dave', 'Stanley & Iris', 'Field of Dreams' and my #1 most romantic score of all time is - 'Somewhere In Time' composed by the late John Barry. Simply breathtaking! Always enjoyed the works of Marc Shaiman, James Horner, John Barry, James Newton Howard, John Williams, Randy Newman et al. Such great talent!

what is the name of this song? its very beautiful i would to have my school play this

[kennyalancramer]

@laceyScuppiecake The Name of this song is "The American President" or "A Seed of Grain" (in it's choral form) and is written by composer Marc Shaiman... It is NOT the marine core hymn or any other pre-existing american anthem as other posters have suggested. It is entirely original by a fantastic composer.

[thingthingisalive]

I believe this is a marine core hymn :)

[kennyalancramer]

@thingthingisalive THIS is NOT the marine core hymn... The Name of this song is "The American President" (when originally written for this film) or "A Seed of Grain" (in it's choral form as adapted by the composer for The Bucket List)... It is written by composer Marc Shaiman...

[ipekatomang]

this movie inspires The West Wing , i always reserve this movie a spot on my Lifetime's finest'

[BrckoGOS]

great music, great movie, great acting by michael douglas, annette bening and martin sheen... but specially great acting by MICHAEL J. FOX!! he played Lewis very well.. but he played health man for years!! so he played two roles in one moment.. and i think that is amazing!!! sorry for my english

[nurseforsure1]

[irish89055]

Great Track!

[RossBeckett]

Bradley Whitford & Amanda Peet in "The Network President"! LOL! j/k

Brad & Amanda co-starred in Aaron Sorkin's "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip" as Daniel "Danny" Tripp(Executive Producer) and his love interest/boss Jordan McDeere(President; NBS).

There was a West Wing Episode called "The Stormy Present" where Bartlett attended the funeral for a former president. Another former democratic president, played by James Cromwell, accompanied him to the funeral on Air Force One. I always thought that it would have been cool if Michael Douglas could have reprised his role as Matt Shepard, his character from this movie in addition to Cromwell's character. It would have been the perfect tie in.

[MrPaladino]

@airdriver Minor correction: Andrew Sheppard, not Matt.

[ajlepore]

@airdriver that would have been cool but it wouldn't have fit in the West Wing universe because Martin Sheen played Sheppards chief of staff--which would have been awkward -- that aside, however, that would have been pretty awesome

[PeterKneter1]

I somehow think that this score it written by Thomas Newman everytime I listen to it. but its not. but the orchestration is very Newman-esque (sounds like Shawshank here and there) - anyway good work by Shaiman!

[100rrh]

if anyone was watching I think ABC when Reagan died, they played this theme as the plane took off for California with his casket, it was the most beautiful thing in the world

[100rrh]

it is impossible to find this on itunes or napster what the heck!

[dougerber]

you guys wanna talk under-appreciated movie temes? check out some of john carpenters themes, he wrote and performed the music for many of his films. the theme for "escape from new york" is awesome, there is another, unbelievably awesome song called "julie" that he did for "precinct 13".

(basil poledouris score for "conan the barbarian" is also amazing)

[ProxyKat]

this will be one of the songs that's going to be played in my funeral...

[jwfan42]

One of the most beautiful movie themes-period. Many people overlook it because Mr. Williams or Hans Zimmer didn't write it... they don't know what they are missing...

[100rrh]

@jwfan42 totally agree it's just fantastic and did not get the recognition it deserved

[GoldenEra29]

one of my fav movie themes ever, if not the best

[nipfather]

This score is also in the trailer for "Saving Private Ryan."

[thedoctor2199]

@nipfather best movie theme and best war film, blended into one package, and that package is called "Saving Private Ryan"

[audgeyp]

@nipfather-yeah, but it's not on the soundtrack itself and it took me forever to find the song and title!

[ironcode57]

Why does I tunes not have this song? :(

[AybarAngelsGuerrero]

Awesome Movie!

[greengirl951]

This song is on Sorin Over California . Im going to Disney land in a few days and i can picture the ride now.

[CitizenKANE2277]

Yeah, lol. I was there last summer. Awesome ride, too.

[urciolo]

This is going to sound morbid and it's not to be, but I am going to have this played at my funeral (when it happens).

[katurayganda]

me too...

[Shelled]

This always reminds me of Soarin' Over California!

[lokojoe17]

great song, great actors, great storyline= a great movie

[chrisbrown456]

this is probably one of the best movie theme songs made in the past 25 years

[JamesGouine]

Dido--Dude!!!

[1peterpann]

@chrisbrown456

I fully concur with you sir I love this most powerful of themes songs it`s my favorite and it gives me a sense of well being and strengthens my good emotions.

[sorrysquire]

As Cleveland from "Family Guy" would say...that was nice.
