    Default Who sings that #$%ing song?

    First, I am hoping that there is another American Beauty fan out there. There is a song that is played in the background when Kevin Spacey is "seducing" (or being seduced by?) Mira Sorvino. It sounds kind of jazzy and bluesy all at once and is not on the AB soundtrack. It sounds like a female lead, but these days you never know. Anyone have any ideas? I have been wondering who it was for years now and much to my chagrin, still have no clue. Any help/links would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the lame description, but I am not home right now and don't even want to attempt any lyrics....

    Thanks in advance...

    I own the AB soundtrack as it's scored by Thomas Newman, but I've never seen the movie...so I can't help you if it's not on the CD

    Annie Lennox - Castles Burning (originally by Neil Young). Track 9 on her self titled album. *edited, fubared the album*

    Sometimes it's found under 'Don't let it bring you down' if you are looking for an MP3.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    Thanks Russman! I appreciate the info!

    Would you recommend the album? I have always been an "arms-length" fan of hers (Eurythmics), but never took the time to give her solo stuff a listen. Pisses me off that I didn't recognize her voice, but at least now I can head off to the I-Store...

    Thanks again!

    Annie Lennox solo CD's are good. with Bare being her weakest IMHO. DIVA is great.

    Most watched movie ever by me.

    There's also an excellent song from Gomez on that movie (possibly on the soundtrack). Just a great soundtrack all around between the existing "pop music" to Thomas Newman's score.

    Mira Sorvino? I think its Mena Suvari. I can see how you get them mixed up. Name sounds similiar, but they don't look anything the same.

    Ooops, you are absolutely correct. I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. I would take Mira over Mena in a heartbeat...
