My ‘Riding-Into-The-Sunset’ Music | Remember how, at the end of a movie when the bad guy is vanquished, the orphan is reunited with his parents, and the neverending battle for justice is finally over, the good guy is kissing his new girlfriend, and all the friend and loved ones that have died during the bad guy's rampage can finally be put behind them, even though it may have happened mere hours before, and they play that wonderful ending song and fade to credits? This is a collection of those kinds of songs. ...You know the end of Face/Off, when there's the pause and he walks through the door and is reunited with his family and their new son? That always gets me right here (sniff). | 12/14/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
