0039 Randy Newman – The Natural Soundtrack – Knock the Cover off the Ball @ 1:03

Monday, July 6th, 2009

roy-hobbs

This movie gets me every time, especially this scene when it starts getting stormy out at the ballpark, and Roy gets the call from Pop to pinch hit for Bump late in the game. The music starts stirring as he approaches the plate, takes a couple warm up swings, and then waits for his pitch. Then at 1:03, right when a crack of thunder bellows out the rain starts coming down, Roy absolutely hammers the ball into the lights over right field. The ball gets so shredded, the fielders can’t even pick it up.

Triumph baby! And the music to match!

Knock the Cover off the Ball :50 – 1:40

0033 Willie Hutch – Brothers Gonna Work It Out at 0:00

“you really don’t understand do you…”

2 instruments on this intro, a guitar and a flute, and that’s all you need. Listen to the guy exhale and sigh before he starts preaching, you gotta leave that in there.  They don’t make music like this anymore. This is only Part 1 of the  “you can’t keep us down..” Part 2 with the Clipse is next.

0020 Hans Zimmer – True Romance Theme @ 3:20

Another softie I know, but this is the song that my buddy Mike Redmond thought of when I was showing him this blog. Thanks Red.

We geeked out pretty hard. While listening to it, I was jotting down certain times which I thought might be TBPOTS: 2:10, 2:42, 3:00 and then finally just before it’s about to end, Red goes, “right here.” 3:20, check it out. On the clip below, it’s about 24 seconds in.

0019 Moby – God moving over the face of the waters @ 2:00

Listening to this takes me back to the ending of Heat, which is an amazing film. This is Moby in his pre-Play era, and it’s moving stuff. Beautiful strings, some subtle piano work – and it sounds like it was made for the cinema.

I really really like this, I think God would be proud.
