The girls name is not Michelle Branch! It is Sarah Maclaughlin!Don't say something unless you know it is true!

I`m completely amazed to see so many websites and reviewers bash this album. Obviously, too many are too busy bashing Adams Voice to listen to the music, because its really great. Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams is actually quite a good combinatino, because of Zimmers Past. The pairing of Zimmer and Adams have in this case crafted several great pop rockers, with some classic memorable Zimmer Instrumentals. Maybe most reviewers have become too cocky to see the fun and spirit in this album, but I know many listeneres who does. Great songs like "Here I am", "I Will Always Return", "You Cant Take Me", "Brothers in the Sun", "This is where I belong" and "Sound the Bugle" makes the Adams part far better than even his normal studio albums. It could be because of Zimmer though, but it sounds great,it is catchy and it is wonderful. "Sound the Bugle" is a beautiful and haunting song, one of the best Adams have ever sung.

The Instrumental parts are a joy for fans of Zimmers lighter and older scores where his need for experimentation wasnt so big. The focus is on creating rolling themes, rich soundscapes and memorable melodies, something Zimmer has strayed away from lately.

I definitely recommend this album to fans of both Adams and Zimmer.

A wonderfull movie- especially if someone in your household has issues with animals being miss-treated. While there are moments of tension and the chance of seeing a horse hurt-it does'nt happen, and
Spirit Wins in a Big Way.
However, if you want an exact soundtrack re-production, do not use the 'listen to' cuts as they are not in the proper order.
The reviews of the songs are also not in order. To be sure-use the dvd itself to recognize the proper order. The list itself is not helpfull as it contains 2 or more of each 'main-title' & 'end title'
for example , I 'believe the 1st song following the Eagles flight is: RUN FREE-a six minute exploration of the landscape.
My own copy is out for loan...so I am not sure, but I believe the score makes most sense This Way:
1) Run Free
2)Here I am-Spirit is born
3)This is where I belong-early life
4)You can't take me-the capture
5)Get off my back-Spirit resists being broken
6)Don't let go-the Escape
7) Brothers under the sun-Spirit among the Indians
8) Rain- Spirit finds some freedom amongst the Indians & a pretty philly
9) Sound the bugle- Spirit is recaptured by the Cavalry
10)Nothing Ive Ever known- Spirit see's visions of his past life & Regains His Spirit
11)The Long Road back-Spirit Escapes & begins to travel Home
12)I will always return- Reprise
13)Here I am- reprise- Spirit arrives HOME.
14)HOMELAND-Re-united with his Mother & his Lady & herd a Free Romp of Celebration !!

This CD, while it may not appeal to some people, really makes my day every time I listen to it. The music and lyrics evoke beautiful images, some from the movie and others from my imagination. The CD is both soothing and exciting at the same time. I love it.

The Hans Zimmer tracks are good, and the others are not. That's all.
