I Am Sam

HMV Review

The soundtrack for Sean Penn's 2002 film I Am Sam was not compiled without difficulties, but the finished product ended up being very enjoyable. The filmmaker's' original plan was to use the Beatles' original versions of songs in the film, but it was stonewalled by the band's strict self-imposed policy of not licensing their music for films. Instead, the producers decided to use new recordings of the songs by contemporary artists. Further complicating the issue, the film had originally been sequenced to match the pacing of the original songs, so many of the new versions needed to match the exact tempo and length of the classic versions. Luckily, the artists involved jumped at the chance and came up with some really engaging interpretations. Aimee Mann and Michael Penn's sweet duet "Two of Us" sticks faithfully to the original, as does Sarah McLachlan's solo acoustic "Blackbird," while Ben Harper takes some psychedelic guitar liberties on his fantastic version of "Strawberry Fields Forever." Ben Folds' perfect "Golden Slumbers" becomes anthemic in its choruses (even if it is a little too short), while an intimate (if marble-mouthed) Eddie Vedder turns in a campfire rendition of "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."

    すごくいい。サントラでこんなにイイのは初めてでした。カバーの恐さは誰もがご存知のはず、ましてやTHE BEATLES…ビートルズをそんなに知らない自分でもすんなり耳に残るキャッチーな曲ばかり。ビートルズの偉大さを再確認。

    うちのカフェでこれかけてたら客の自称ビートルマニアの外国人に大ウケ(熱唱…後にグラス倒す…)。本場の人も認めるこのサントラ。日本のマニアも構えないで聞いてほしい
