Maid in Manhatten
(Movie sound track)

Click here to buy Maid in Manhatten (Movie sound track) from Amazon now. -- I like this soundtrack because it features the song Fall Again, with artist: Glenn Lewis Album: Here's what one reviewer says about the album Maid in Manhatten:

"The soundtrack is full of lots of great songs. Including, I'm Coming Out and Fall Again. It's one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. And the movie is awesome, a MUST see."

I really liked this movie and watched it twice. As a composer, I was especially interested in the movie's background music, which was very subtle, as it should be. When tunes were introduced, they were brought in very smoothly, often along with a view of the city. When the scene switches to something indoors, the music gradually fades out. During times of suspense, beautiful high pitched strings play in unison, and then comes some some soft piano notes reminiscent of the theme from the movie Close Encounters.

The tune I liked the best was Fall Again. Glenn Lewis sings Fall Again at a dinner party as Jennifer Lopez (playing the part of the maid) appears in a sexy nightgown at a dinner/dance. It is fun to watch her potential lover's eyes as she approaches him. Watch his eys especially right before he says, "Then you shouldn't have worn that dress."

The tune Fall Again is suitable for nightclub two step, but nobody is dancing doing it -- Hollywood has yet to make a nightclub two-step movie! The dancers in this scene look so bad! They are just holding each other and swaying, not really dancing.

This scene is too short, I'd like to hear more of the song; it really adds to the romantic feeling! When you hear Fall Again, listen for the accented wood-block percussion sound on beats two and four for the music -- that's where you could take a slow side step in nightclub two step. .

Here are the lyrics for Fall Again:

Feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart I need you around for every day to start I haven’t left you alone
There’s something about you, I stare in your eyes
And everything I’m looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall in you again
Like we did when we first met
I wanna fall with you again Ohhhh (etc.)

We fought in a battle, nobody one
And now we face a mountain to be overcome
You can’t turn away, the past is said and done
I need us to carry on
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met I wanna fall with you again la la la la la, whoa (etc.)

You’ll try everything you never thought would work before
When you live, when you love, and you give them your all
You can always give up some more
Baby, nothing means anything unless you’re here to share with me
I can breathe, I can bleed, I can die in my sleep
Cause you’re always there in my dreams
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again
Like we did when we first met I wanna fall with you again
I wanna spend time till it ends
I wanna fall with you again Like we did when we first met I wanna fall with you again Ohh, la la la (etc.) You again - - - - - -
