American Beauty

[ms_gwyn]

I'm looking for the song title and possibly singer for the song in American Beauty where Kevin Spacey is seducing Mena Suvari in the living room. In the background a song is playing, it sounds like Annie Lennox is the singer, but I do not know the title.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to IMDb.com, Annie Lennox's song "Don't Let It Bring You Down" is in the movie. I know the scene, just don't remember the music...

Anyway, you can find the song on Lennox's album "Medusa" (link goes to Amazon and available audio sample).

what about the song where mina suvari and thora birch are in the living room watching some black and white dance movie, the music in that scene is great.

Please don't "bump" topics. See our Forum Rules.

Did you check out the IMDb.com soundtrack listing from the movie? Myabe the song you're thinking of is listed there.

Does anyone know the name of the song that's played during the famous "plastic bag" scene?

 

[Keyser Soze]

nevermind, I found it

Thomas Newman - Plastic Bag Theme

what an unoriginal title... but i guess it worked, since everyone will know which song in the movie it is! :lol:

 

[PulpZepp]

The Theme is actually "Any other Name" by Thomas Newman

Hey, does anyone know that song from American Beauty? I think it's by The Who and I think it's called Teeange Wasteland. I remember it being in the trailer, and I don't know if it was in the movie because it's not on the soundtrack. Is it The Who or Pete Townshend? Please, I've been trying to find this song it's much harder than I expected.

try teenage wasteland by Puhdys...i just found it from a quick search on iTunes

 

[Tamsin]

Actually blondebear is right,it is The Who, Baba O'Riley -the real title of "Teenage Wasteland" - check the trailer.

Hey guyz!

Just buzzin' in with a quick ques...

The movie 'American Beauty'...can anyone get me the songs that played in the movie? I try to find it, but all I can find is the score, which sounds great; however, I need to know the normal songs that played in the movie as well.

Muchly appreciated.

You can find a track listing here.

Here's the soundtrack listing from IMDb.com. The late Elliott Smith's version of The Beatles "Because" is one of all my all time favorites. You can listen to a few samples here.

Edit: Damn, you beat me
