Product Description
Amazon.com
The first five tracks on the soundtrack to this Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves romantic drama are wonderfully wistful songs. The first, Paul McCartney's "This Never Happened Before" from his 2005 album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard, sets the tone. The low-key mood is then picked up by new romantic souls like the Clientele (the languidly forlorn "(I Can't Seem to) Make You Mine") and Eels (the fiddle-accented ballad "Ant Farm"), and classic songwriters Nick Drake (with 1969's "Time Has Told Me") and Carole King (1971's "It's Too Late"). The rest of the album is made up of Rachel Portman's intimately romantic score. Portman makes good use of melody lines driven sometimes by a piano ("Mailbox") and sometimes an acoustic guitar ("Tell Me More"), while also ensuring that the orchestra never threatens to overwhelm them. And when strings dominate, they never feel rote ("Sunsets"). The music isn't in-your-face sad but tinged with a sense of very adult melancholy. Whoever thought that one day we'd say that of something attached to a Keanu Reeves movie? --Elisabeth Vincentelli

A wonderful way to relive the movie!, Jan 16 2007

This review is from: The Lake House (Audio CD)
This is a short review to say just how much I'm enjoying the motion picture soundtrack to The Lake House. Though I now seem to be watching the DVD of The Lake House at least once every week, I'm listening to the musical soundtrack everyday. I wish Rosemary Clooney's song, There Will Never Be Another You, was on the CD, as well as the instrumental music that was played when Alex plants the tree in from of Kate's future apartment complex in Chicago. Still, this is a great CD with music that brings back the most wonderful memories of the movie. In my opinion, this is what movie music is supposed to do. A really good soundtrack has to be able to stand on its own, and The Lake House does with flying colors. If you enjoyed the film, then you'll love having the CD to listen to.

Perfect Album to Remember the Film, July 9 2006
By wunderlost "wunderlost" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Lake House (Audio CD)
ALL the best songs from the film are on this album PLUS the complete score by Rachel Portman know for stunning scores on others films such as CHOCOLATE'. How can you go wrong with Paul McCartney, Carole King and Nick Drake? Plus the amazing opening title song by The Clientelle!Although the two Rosemary Clooney songs are abset from this collection, they are not the from key emotional scenes in the film in the same way the above mentioned songs are.
McCartney's tune does double duty in the film and as end titles. Carole King is played during one of the most important scenes in the entire movie. Nick Drake is absolutely moving and The Clientelle set the mood during the opening titles with perfect form. 5 STARS, BRAVO!

Very Creative plot, Nov 21 2007
By S. Phelan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Lake House (Audio CD)
What a great movie without blood, gore and a lot of swearing going on. My Father actually recommended that I see it. Excellent romantic movie. Loved Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves performance's in this. They have some terrific chemistry too. I recommend buying this for a really enjoyable romantic movie with a good twist to it. I could watch this over and over again.
Listmania!
