Cruel Intentions Score - Edward Shearmur - 14.Don't Trust

[@SquareInsider]

Edward Shearmur's score for this movie has always been one of the most hauntingly beautiful, underrated, and hidden scores ever. I have collected thousands of soundtracks in my day, and this particular piano theme that runs through the movie is one of my favorites of all time. There's something about it that I cannot explain. This score was never released, but it finally made its way out anyway. It was too good to be kept locked away by the studio. Thank you to whoever did it. I asked for years, and I received. The emotion is so strong with this one. It's like a sad.....peace...? Longing for things of the past, things that are gone? Distant, lost, yet remembered...memories...? I cannot figure it out even over a decade later and it kills me. If I seriously need to think about something, well, serious or I need somekind of guidance, I play this particular piece. I know others out there feel the exact same way and read me on this. PS-- One of the only other scores with this much gravitas in parts is Meet Joe Black, especially the closing tracks where /spoiler alert/ death finally takes Hopkins and he has peace with it, returning the body he used. I think the track is called "That Other Place". Listen to it. And finally, one of the greatest of all....the score for What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams. Nothing even needs to be said about that one. Simply too much.

I totally and complete agree to everything you say here! Gonna check out your suggested tracks now too. God I love this song... It's so weird it has been kept hidden so deep? I could recommend Omaha Beach (from Saving Private Ryan) by John Williams, speaking of gravitas.

i feel this, thanks for putting it into words. this particular part of the score has always moved something in me. it's special for sure.

MercilessV very well wrote. The longing of the past and the future is very strong in this song. It's absolutely beautiful. I was going to leave a comment similar to this but you took the words out of my mouth! It makes me thankful for the now, as well. It is strange and hard to explain. One of my recommendations is the Gattaca soundtrack as well. Very strong and can be depressing.

[@rbishop95]

is this the song that plays when Sebastian gets hit by the car at the end of the film?

[@V4mpb4t]

What's the song name in the "It's not you, it's me" scene, when Reese slaps Ryan.

[@NewYorksMostWanted]

I truly struggle with this song. It perfectly hits every corner of my soul and I always get the urge to re-listen, but it just hurts not having anyone to share it with.

[@TheHeadBusta69]

Such beautiful music... This is the kinda piano music that inspires me to learn to play

[@SaifKhan-wv1ky]

Any one in 2020

[@saraworkman5658]

Yup.

[@mikeanderson8920]

This tune reminds me of my my ex-girl Kimberley... I still Luv her 2 this day... Still hard getting over her cause I luv her and still care 4 her 2 this day. We used 2 watch this movie 2gether. Brings back those memories and moments we had 2gether.

[@chrisreid7064]

very good movie. this track was so powerful to me in Sabastian's death scene. all i felt when the score hit watching him pass after the car struck him saving her life. was all the heartache that Annette was going to go through after she finally knows Sabastian truly loved her well fit and very sad but well done in the movie. this track speaks volumes on that scene for Annette's sorrow 😥

[@KING-ZEAL]

As the person who originally was sent the Master of this score by Edward Shearmur, the person who contacted him, and was given the go ahead to release it to the world. I just wanted to say one thing, all these years later. You are all men of culture, and have impeccable taste in music. - The husband of MercilessV (she is just as lovely now. Still married 13 years now and doing well). God bless you all. - Zeal
