Today I would like to recommend you the album from movie "Boys on the Side" under the same title. I think - no, I'm sure - you will like this album with amazing music.
"Boys on the Side" an American comedy-drama film from 1995 with three great actresses: Whoopi Goldberg [as Jane], Drew Barrymore [as Holly] and Mary-Louise Parker [as Robin] as three friends on a cross-country road trip.This movie is about friendship, love, secrets, values of the life, death. You have everything what you need to laugh and to cry.
If you like a comedy-drama as "Steel Magnolias" [1989] or "Terms of Endearment" 1983, you will love this one.

But I am here not to talk about movie, but to talk about music, great music.
I really don't know how and why, butmost movies of years 60's - 90's had an excellent soundtracks. The same is with this soundtrack.
On the official soundtrack album released on 1995 has only thirteen tracks performed by female artists like f.e.: Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Armatrading and Indigo Girls. It's like a collection of the best songs from 70s, 80 and 90s because of some covers of greatests hits all the time ["Magic Carpet Ride", "You got it", "Take Me To The River", "Superstar", "Mellow Yellow"]. The hit single from the movie soundtrack was Bonnie Raitt's cover of "You Got It" by Roy Orbison.
Bonnie Raitt : You Got It
Melissa Etheridge : I Take You With Me
Sheryl Crow : Keep On Growing
Indigo Girls : Power Of Two
Stevie Nicks : Somebody Stand By Me
The Pretenders : Everyday Is Like Sunday
The Cranberries : Dreams
Annie Lennox : Why
Sarah McLachlan : Ol'55
Joan Armatrading : Willow
Jonell Mosser : Crossroads
Whoopi Goldberg : You Got It
Bonnie Raitt : You Got It
As you know me it was enough for me. Why? Because the official soundtrack album hasn't everything, because this is just a little piece of all music used on the film. And that's why I crated a special playlist with 26 tracks - almost all songs from "Boys on the Side" [official soundtrack & songs not included on the official soundtrack album]. There's no "Mellow Yellow" by Tito and the Teatro Carmens, "Half And Half" by the Desert Suns, "Magic Carpet Ride" by the Boxing Ghandis, "Piece Of My Heart" by Whoopi Goldberg and "Officer And A Gentleman" by Jack Nitzsche. I added original versions of these songs at the end of the list so you can listen to these songs anyway.
You can listen to this playlist on YouTube and on spotify.

music is my passion & inspiration only music saves
Who from you read book "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes or watched the movie with the same title based on this book? Or maybe you had a change to listen to this album with music from the movie? If you said "yes" on one of these question, high-five! I think you are still under the magic.
Me Before You OST [release date: June 3, 2016]
I chose this album as today's album of the day because of a few real reasons. One of them is that songs chosen to this album as the soundtrack are perfect. They are harmonizing with scenes of the film creating something incredible.
On the album we can find such a great names like Jack Garratt, Imagine Dragons, Jessie Ware, Ed Sheeran, The 1975, X Ambassadors... So as you see that's something big.
In my opinion this soundtrack is epic. You can listen to this album every day and every night and you will never have enough.
You can say: "only nine songs?!". I will say: "that's enough to feel magic of the sound".
Max Jury : Numb HOLYCHILD : Happy With Me X Ambassadors : Unsteady (Erich Lee Gravity Remix) Jessie Ware : Till The End The 1975 : The Sound Jack Garratt : Surprise Yourself Cloves : Don’t Forget About Me Ed Sheeran : Photograph Imagine Dragons : Not Today

Ladies and Gents, who doesn't remember or doesn't know this film from 1984 with phenomenal Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack and amazing Lori Singer as Ariel Moore, with all these brilliant dance steps and music of course - especially theme song, immortal Footloose by Kenny Loggins? yes, great times. and that's why I'm writing about Footloose today - I just want to give you some good, no-no-no, I want to give you super songs from of of the best OST and just recommend you this soudntrack. I think all of you will find something nice here so enjoy, have fun and...dance! :)
currently we can find two version of original soundtrack from Footloose: 1st from 1984 with 10 songs, and 2nd from 1998 with 4 bonus songs. I will show you both versions, because both are really great.
it's Friday so it's a time to present some good soundtrack. why? because soundtracks have good songs (usually of course) and they're really good for party...and because we've almost a weekend, I think that this is a good idea.
so today I would like to recommend you Dirty Dancing OST, from movie Dirty Dancing (1987) with two big stars, amazing Patrick Swayze and pretty Jennifer Grey.
I think that my sister could say a lot about this film, maybe too much, because she just loves it, she watched it, probably, a million times and she knows everything about this movie. really! yes, you're right she knows knows every minute of this film... and here's the second: really!. scary, very scary haha ;)
to be honest, I'm not so huge fan of Dirty Dancing movie, like my sister, but I really like soundtrack. great rhythms, cool artists and songs which won't let you stand. and that's why I'm thinking that Dirty Dancing OST is a very good choice for party or...when you don't have any party, but you want to listen to other music than today's ;) you'll find there almost everything what the best - slow sounds, and energetic rhythms too.
so let's the party start! ...and have a great time with music from Dirty Dancing soundtrack! cheers!
