I'm gonna introduce you the Warner bro's Tim Burton's Corpse Bride OST.
Summary of the movie: Victor accidentally married this corpse bride who was stabbed to death by her fiancé. But he wanted to get back to Victoria, his true love. Victoria was forced to marry a disgusting high-status man and by learning the news, Victor gave up hope and decided to join his corpse bride by sacrificing his life. The end... I shall not reveal the ending tho, spoilers disallowed.
The movie's soundtracks are by Danny Elfman. I should say as anime OSTs they are very impressively well composed. The song list is here:
1. Main Titles
2. According To Plan
3. Victor's Piano Solo
4. Into The Forest
5. Remains Of The Day
6. Casting A Spell

Strongly recommend "the piano duet" and "tears to shed". Samples can be found here: Corpse bride
Finally this is the lyrics for "tears to shed":
MAGGOT
What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?
BLACK WIDOW
She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile
CORPSE BRIDE
How about a pulse?
MAGGOT
Overrated by a mile
BLACK WIDOW
Overbearing
MAGGOT
Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If he only knew the you that we know
CORPSE BRIDE
(sigh)
BLACK WIDOW
And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring
MAGGOT
And she doesn't play piano
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
Or dance
MAGGOT
Or sing
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
No she doesn't compare
CORPSE BRIDE
But she still breathes air
BLACK WIDOW
Who cares?
MAGGOT
Unimportant
BLACK WIDOW
Overrated
MAGGOT
Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know
CORPSE BRIDE
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife it's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed
MAGGOT
The sure redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive
BLACK WIDOW
Overrated
MAGGOT
Overblown
BLACK WIDOW
Everybody know that's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate
MAGGOT
Who cares?
BLACK WIDOW
Unimportant
MAGGOT
Overrated
BLACK WIDOW
Overblown
MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know
CORPSE BRIDE
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the sun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?

I haven't had a chance to hear the Corpse Bride OST, but Danny Elfman is a great composer with a particular sound, like James Horner and John Williams.
ReplyDeleteWow I woke up to find out 3 new posts added. Great job pals! Hey ya so did you watch the animation itself? I've heard of Danny Elfman too but have no idea he does animation music as well. Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeletecorpse bride's really a good movie! nice and concise (1hour14min).
ReplyDeleteI thought about seeing that when it was in the theaters...musicals have never been my thing, but this looks interesting enough to see. I did like Nightmare Before Christmas, so....
ReplyDeletehaha, it's just like nightmare before christmas, very similar..
ReplyDeletebut i think corpse bride's much better...
