Favorite Soundtrack songs
 

Stevie has had quite a few songs on various soundtracks over the years and some of these songs are really great.My top five are 1."Battle of the Dragon'a real epic."2.Blue Lamp' which sounds like nothing else she has ever done although I can see why she left it off of "Bella Donna' it really didn't fit in sound wise.3."Twisted';the only one that I know of that was specifically written for a movie by Stevie and great harmonies of course. 4."Violet and Blue' which for an up tempo number is far better than"Nothing ever Changes'So I can't understand why this was left off"The Wild Heart' in favor of that, unless it had to do with time constraints this was still the age of vinyl.5.Sleeping Angel 'vocally one of her strongest solo tracks.Any other ideas on this?

I also agree
 

Sleeping Angel is my favorites !The vocals!!! I also love Battle of The Dragon, and another fave is Stand By Me! also, what a vocal range. :nod: :wavey: :)

I agree with most of your choices, Robert. :) I love Twisted and Violet And Blue... and Blue Lamp is just awesome! :nod:

i have this strange obsession with If You Ever Did Believe... i love it to pieces... one of my absolute favorite songs to sing too! I have it on a mixed tape i recently made for the car of some of my favorite car driving/singing along-to songs... it's not totally mixed though, since all but one song is stevie... lol.. i have janis' me and bobby mcgee... too far from texas, it's late, enchanted, sweet girl, iyedb, gypsy, shoot now i can't remember anymore... and i'm rambling anyway so it's a good thing i'm ending this here...

and the most recent question would be robert, why did she leave 'touched by an angel' for this god forsaken soundtrack, when it could have been one of the best songs on TISL

"Touched by an Angel'is a good song and her motivation for writing it is great,but I can't say that it would have been one of the best songs on TISL.I wouldn't call it musically .one of her major works. IT is just kind of a mild low profile little ballad that would not seem to fit in well musically with the rest of the album.

My favorite is her version of Tom Petty's free fallin for the party of 5 soundtrack. That version made the song one of my favorite non-FM/stevie songs

My favorite would have to be "Sleeping Angel." That is just an amazing song. "Blue Lamp" is a close second. I think "Twisted" is beautiful, but over-produced. I like the demo version on the boxed set much better than the version that was actually released.
I've never really understood the appeal of "Battle of the Dragon"--it's too synthesized for me (what's with the Casio keyboard beat?).

WooHoo..my sister actually burned a "Stevie Soundtracks" cd...with all the soundtrack songs...my favorites are:

If you Ever Did Believe....I totally know what you mean Jessica...I don't listen to it for a while...then I do again...and I get all obsessed with it all over...I love singing along to it also...sometimes I'm Sheryl...doing the back-up thing...sometimes I'm Stevie LOL

Sleeping Angel
Stand By Me
Touched By an Angel
Twisted....uh
Definetly her version of Free Fallin'....

Sleeping Angel is definitely my fav. I get chills everytime I listen to it. Her vocals are sooo amazing!!! If You Ever Did Believe is 2nd on my list. When I first bought that soundtrack, that's all I listened to for like a month. I really like Crystal on the Practical magic soundtrack too. I know it's originally from a FM album, but I really like Stevie's vocals a lot more than Lindsey's on this song. Anyway those are my favs.

Okay....my top five are....

1. TWISTED!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
2. Touched By An Angel
3. If You Ever Did Believe
4. Sleeping Angel
5. Battle of the Dragon

I just love ALL of these songs! Especially the first two, though. Oh, and I could listen to IYEDB on repeat forever, too...and totally off-subject...but I REALLY need to make a new mixed tape for my car!!! (Course, all my mixed tapes are just mixed Stevie/FM songs, too....so you're not alone, Jessica, lol!--except for on one of them, I put a Bob Segar song...can't remember which one, really, cause I always seem to fast forward it when it comes on, lol!)

~~Angela~~:wavey:

I love the Practical Magic soundtrack, so those two are my faves.....I also love SLEEPING ANGEL......Touched By an Angel is beautiful also, but I think she said she left it off the album b/c it didn't fit the theme or soemthing.....didn't fall into place with the other songs....who knows....lol....
