The album scored by Figgis (a keyboardist & trumpeter as well), topped Billboard's jazz chart at the Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Thanks for the reviews! I will not buy it now As much as I love the movie Leaving Las Vegas, I refuse to buy it if "Lonely Teardrops" is not on the soundtrack. Rating: - most key song from Michael - Lonely Tear drops missing? This is terrible that the key song in the sound track by Michael McDonald - Lonely Tear Drops is missing?? Is there another version Rating: - lonely teardrops not here If you're looking for Michael MacDonald's "Lonely Teardrops," it' ain't on here. Buy "Live At The Beacon." It's on there. Rating: - What Happened 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 ... Read More Rating: - Graet Soundtrack, but Mike Figgis BLEW IT.... 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... see more Browse for similar items by category: Soundtracks - Styles - Music - Movie Scores Soundtracks - Styles - Music - Movie Soundtracks Soundtracks - Styles - Music - General CD - Format (binding) - Refinements - Music - CD Album Edition (format) - Refinements - Music - Soundtrack
