4 out of 5 stars A Relaxing and Mellow Las Vegas?.......2007-06-12

I found this soundtrack quite enjoyable and I am not the world's biggest jazz fan. Don't get me wrong, I think jazz is a great but it isn't the first type of music I run to when I want to relax. However on the soundtrack for Leaving Las Vegas, it works. The songs on this soundtrack are very moody. The tempos are coarse and cool, mean and mellow.

There are a couple of vocal songs on this soundtrack, five to be exact. Three of the songs are by Gordon Sumner A.K.A Sting, which are wonderful piano/jazz/love songs. The songs are "Angel Eyes", "My One and Only Love" and "It's a Lonesome Old Town". As amazing as it might seem, Sting recorded all three of these songs in one day. I have always been a fan of Sting, all the way back to his days with The Police. These songs aren't written by Sting, rather covers of classic jazz tunes.

The other two songs with vocals are by Don Henley and The Palladinos. Don Henley's track again is a cover and it isn't bad. I have to be honest; this isn't my favorite track on the soundtrack. Don't get me wrong, Henley puts plenty of work into "Come Rain or Come Shine", yet it doesn't grab me like most of the other songs on this soundtrack. As for the song by The Palladinos "I Won't Be Going South For A While", this tune seems very out of place on this CD. Why, because the entire soundtrack is mellow and "I Won't Be Going South For A While" is loud, fast and almost bubbly. Some of the jazz/instrumental is mellow and some selections are louder than others, but the music tempo still has a good flow throughout, much like pieces of a puzzle fitting together. Even the songs by Sting and Don Henley blend well into the track selection. I guess that is why it is the last song on the CD. It isn't a bad song; it just doesn't seem to fit. I realize it is from the movie, hence why it is on the motion picture soundtrack. Consequently, with respect to music continuity it seems like a black sheep with the rest of the melodies.

As for the movie dialogue included in the soundtrack, that wasn't a problem for me at all. I actually liked it and felt it gave the entire listening experience some character. The dialogue is spoken on its own tracks, in between music, as introductions to music and in the middle of music almost as a bridge. Now Leaving Las Vegas is deep, dark drama cloaked as a romance or a romance cloaked as a deep, dark drama. Regardless this movie is very powerful, with that said some of the dialogue selected seems almost humorist. The dialogue doesn't seem straight up funny, just maybe a bit lighthearted, which is odd because this movie isn't funny or lighthearted.

Again Leaving Las Vegas is an interesting movie and has a special place in my nostalgic heart. I have already written a review of the movie here on Amazon.com, so I won't rehash what was already written about my first experience watching this film. However, this is a pretty good soundtrack and is a nice addition to this deep, dark drama cloaked as a romance or a romance cloaked as a deep, dark drama.

4 out of 5 stars I'm A Prickly Pear.......2005-09-26

A great CD - When you are alone and just want to get drunk and feel sad - this one is for you - ruggedthug.com

2 out of 5 stars Where's the rest of it??????.......2004-12-24

Why bother with a whole soundtrack if you are only going to put a handful of songs on it. The best tunes from the movie aren't even on the disc. An EP would have been sufficient for the Sting and Henly tracks. Not 4 songs and 21 tracks of dialogue.

5 out of 5 stars Dialogue included. Very refreshing........2002-09-10

Sting's version of various Jazz tunes is incredible. Don Henley's version of 'Come Rain Or Come Shine' is done with a lot of feel. 'Biker Bar' has a groove that inclines me to set the song on repeat, pick up my guitar, and just jam with it. Plus a lot of movie dialogue for a little variety . This one's a winner. If you're not a Sting fan, a jazz fan, or at least a fan of the movie then this probably isn't for you.

5 out of 5 stars The best song you'll ever hear.......2002-01-25

Nothin will give you emotions like that of Stings' my one and only love. It'll make you fly away. It's sad really but never sadness has been so inspiring of joy as this one.
You're alone with your girlfriend, outside a cold winter, leaves falling down from the trees, you put this song on and then embrace your lover..

There aren't many directors with the talent--or nerve--to compose and play the music for their films (although creepmeister John Carpenter comes to mind), and none have done it more artfully than Mike Figgis on Leaving Las Vegas. Though Figgis was nominated for both writing and directing Oscars (and Nicolas Cage won one for Best Actor) for the 1995 film, listening to his subdued, moody jazz (punctuated by vocal standard renditions by Sting and Don Henley) one can't help feeling that his music was unfairly overlooked. Smokey and mournful, it plays against the Vegas musical stereotype by underscoring the loneliness at the heart of Sin City. --Jerry McCulley

1 out of 5 stars Thanks for the reviews! I will not buy it now.......2006-12-30

As much as I love the movie Leaving Las Vegas, I refuse to buy it if "Lonely Teardrops" is not on the soundtrack.

3 out of 5 stars most key song from Michael - Lonely Tear drops missing?.......2005-03-12

This is terrible that the key song in the sound track by Michael McDonald - Lonely Tear Drops is missing??
Is there another version

1 out of 5 stars lonely teardrops not here.......2003-02-15

If you're looking for Michael MacDonald's "Lonely Teardrops," it' ain't on here. Buy "Live At The Beacon." It's on there.

3 out of 5 stars What Happened.......2000-02-08

The soundtrack for Leaving Las Vegas was very good, Mike Figgis is an excellent conducter of the boozy feel of moments better left without lyrics. However, I cannot in good conscience give the soundtrack a higher rating, as the absence of the Michael McDonald version of "Lonely Teardrops", used twice in the film to great effect, is not available anywhere, I presume, as I've been unable to track it down. WHY? This song is incredible, and well worth the price of admission. Sting and Don Henley not withstanding, they both are very good, but the absence of Mike on the soundtrack is a Major letdown....if anyone knows how to get a copy of the "Lonely Teardrops" version on this movie please let me know...Buk218@aol.com

4 out of 5 stars Graet Soundtrack, but Mike Figgis BLEW IT...........2000-02-01

This is one of the better soundtracks of a rather great movie, with only one problem. The most powerful song of the movie, "Lonely Teardrops", re-made by Michael McDonald, is somehow missing from the soundtrack... Not only is this the most powerful song in the movie, but it is the most memorable. This leaves one to ask how it could have been left out of the soundtrack, and why Mike Figgis BLEW IT...

      Encontré este disco por casualidad y me resultó muy inspirador.
      El tipo usa instrumentos sumamente diversos pero siempre con criterio. Guitarras, tambores, instrumentos orientales y todo eso. De todas formas temina siendo rock. Las letras no son pretensiosas y a veces se pone bastante flashero. En fin, muy profesional.
