Never saw the movie... still i know this song since i was15. I feel like if it is describing a love that was lost forever, a neverending sweet memory, but only that, a memory.
This soundtrack is such a compliment to the soul. White Orleander is the only movie, with the only soundtrack, that has touched me so deeply. The music sets my heart free.
@Daniella26able i have, absolutely loved it. the mother is much more vicious in the book, i didnt like some the sub plots in the book though (foster parents) glad they got cut out the film
The minor key Newman refers to in many of his compositions haunts like the love you didn't marry but always is with you, even when you are happy with another, the haunting of the path not taken...
@prumott08 I noticed while watching Revolutionary Road that the theme sounded strikingly similar with White Oleander's score. It's different, but very, very similar. =].
This song takes me to a place within me that i have never noticed to exist. Thomas Newman has a way of reaching people's emotions through his music. And that is a rare talent that i will appreciate and enjoy till i can't listen no longer.
Thomas Newman soundracks are awsome. He is music is so amazing, wonderful, relaxing, touching. He's songs seems to tell us beautiful, but sad stories which make we want to thing about the important things in our life. My favourite Newman's soundracks are from: Angels in America, American Beauty, Joe Black, Scent of the women and this- White Oleander.
I LOVE Thomas Newman. I really do. I think all his pieces are very haunting and beautiful. But does anyone else think that all lot of them sound a LOT alike? They all have a simple, touching piano with low strings beneath it. I'm totally not dissing him at ALL but seriously, listen to this, "The Letter That Never Came", "Revolutionary Road Theme", and "Nemo Egg".....
@MissKenzieLoVe of course they are going to sound similar - he is the same person every time he composes. I know where you're coming from, but think about all of the mainstream musicians today such as Taylor swift or idk Robbie Williams. All of their songs carry the same tune and style each time.
@MiKKA335 oh I totally agree! Obviously all composers have a certain sound or quality to their music. I just felt that sometimes, it sounds almost like the exact the same melody in his music. I do really love his stuff though. It's really haunting, And yes, I think that most mainstream music today is all just the same generic shit :)
I love that Astrid is the only one with dark eyes

A lot of his compositions are, essentially the same sound. Not exactly a style so much as a template, with slightly different notes woven into it.
However, his template does produce astonishingly simplistic, stilling, beautiful music every time, embedded with, somehow, different meaning.
