searching for soundtrack

I've been searching for the soundtrack to this film for years. I've actually pieced together the whole thing from downloads and other cds, BUT I'm missing the one song I love the most, it's the piano/violin background theme music played throughout the movie, but especially as Marcy and Sean are walking the cliffs on the island. Does anyone have any suggestions on where or how to find this? Thanks -

I'm sorry I can't help you with that but I would really appreciate it if you would list the songs and artists that you have found so that I can burn my own copy. Thank you VERY much! :)

Although you can't buy the soundtrack, IMDB does have a soundtrack listing. I followed that to download the songs. Good luck!

That is an original piece of score written by John Altman for the movie. It is untitled, and unavailable on CD.

There is one song by World Party, "She's the One", from the album "Egyptolygy". Beautiful song.

Does anyone know what the song is the guys sings in the bar to her? Also, what keywords, perhaps Irish folksongs? Grazie, Gabriella

if you mean the one that "the winner" sang, it is called Raglan Road, and is a fairly popular Irish song, you can find it online easily enough....he sang a bit of an abbreviated version....very well though : )

Were you able to find "Haunted" by Shane MacGowan an Sinead O'Connor? I have wanted to find that for years....since I first heard it in this

I have a copy of "haunted" if you are still looking. I'm surprised you haven't been able to find it online. Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you.

I finally pieced it all together. A few year ago I tried but you couldn't get any Shane Macgowan songs on itunes. Now they have them. You can downloaded Haunted from Shane MacGown and the popes and than at the top it'll say people who bought this song also bought and it was prettymuch every song from this album... which means I'm not the only dork who loves all the songs from this movie and feels the need to piece together te album. It isn't too hard if you go to itunes.
