Wow, I absolutely loved the movie Bella!!
It was a real feel-good-movie(& not in a cliché kind of way). Great story behind the story… making one think about life, love & people around you and the people in your life…
The actor, Eduardo Verastegui, who played the main character has the most beautiful soulful, but intimidating blue eyes:-)
I also loved the music!! So, yes, also quite disappointed to hear that there is no sound track

Some good news – I found Rosemary Clooney’s version of “Sway” on BeeMP3 (free down load) here is the link to copy: http://c.wrzuta.pl/wa870/c7e894f0000c6cca483ae8bc/0/rosemary clooney – sway.mp3

I also found Alejandro Sanz and Shakira’s “Te Lo Agradezco Pero No” at BeeMP3, but it is not a very good link…I did report the broken link a couple of times:-) So, maybe if we all go on there a few times, someone will put a new link on!! **holding thumbs**

I just finished watching this movie – FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL! The emotion caught me from the opening…watching those shiny shoes dance a little salsa. While the very end was satisfying I felt there was too big of gap left untold. Still…I loved it and am now slowly searching for the songs to download, starting with Rachel Yamagata and the unmatched, Nina Simone.

this movie touched me. not just because of the beauty of it, the human spirit and interaction bewteen strangers, or even the music. my life is similar to the story line, without the great guy part anyway, and its very moveing. 4 years to the date, may 13th, its just me and my son and movies like this i enjoy.

Realmente bella esta pelicula
Really beautiful movie, sensitive, simple but …really to spend a nice time, better with your girl/boy friend and laying in you coach

It’s a pitty there’s no soundtrack available, and most of the themes are unavailable, I spent couple of days surfing the web, but.. neither St. Google could find most of them. I’ve just get half of them

If someone could get Jon Secada’s Cucurrucucu Paloma (is not Caetano as sayd)… please post it

We purchased this film and watched it for the 2nd time this past weekend. It could be in my top 5 movies of all time. The acting is amazing, especially Tammy who played Nina. We were in tears several times watching this beautiful film!

The music was also amazing, along with every other element of the production. Thanks for posting these songs, I was online hunting for the soundtrack, which is obviously not available.

My wife and I watched the movie today for the first time and enjoyed it a lot, we loved it. Movie has a lot of message and things to think about. I hope everyone enjoys it a lot just as we did. We found out about the movie because we went to a concert of Alejandro Sanz and he mentioned the movie, 2 of his songs were played in the movie. Does anyone know where I can find the song “C’mon C’mon”, by Switchfoot and especially the version played on the “Behind the Scenes” section of the menu? Anyway good luck to everyone. And thanks for you answers.

For a little more information on Joey Ryan who sings “Light On”

“Ryan Coincidentally, Stephan Altman at Mophonics was in the middle of composing the score for Bella and immediately had a scene in mind where my song would fit. The song was “Like You” (from the bathtub scene) and they asked me to add some lyrics in Spanish for it. So in the film the lyrics are “Yo se que no puede salvarme, I know I’m on my own, Yo se que no puede salvarme, I know I’m alone”. The Spanish means “I know you can’t save me”. This is Nina’s low point. She has yet to fully accept the help and friendship Jose is offering and feels completely alone and desperate there in the bathtub.”

Oh my God! YOU ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THESE SONGS!!!!! The song that just took me away was Cucurrucucu Paloma. I didn’t even care that the movie ended so randomly. We all understood what happened next. So simple. So perfect. I watched the movie last night (cried, smiled, laughed). LOVED IT.

O Wow MsT you just answered my question. I was going to come on here to say yes I loved all the music in the movie(especially Sway by Rosemary Clooney!) but what first caught my ear was listening to the trailer. The lyrics
“there’s good and evil in each individual fire, identifies needs and feeds our desires.
As long as we keep our spirit inspired..”
So that is “Girl with the tattooed hands” by Atomsphere?
Cool.
SO why would they have a song like that on the trailer you say? Someone liked it,and my personal opinion is
it sounds like a song that is unfolding, as the synopsis of the movie is unfolding for the preview. And a bit retrospective, maybe shadowing that this is a thought-provoking film.
I think it sounds great because it’s a slower softer beat to the backround of their voices for the first 30 seconds. They actually play 3 different songs in the trailer and so the people who put this together definitely know how to set the tone with music, and makes me wonder is there a soundtrack out for all of Bella yet? Is it because it was a smaller budget film?

By: MsT

MsT — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:54:06 +0000

Can anyone tell me Why the song if the song “Girl With The Tattooed Hands” is in this film or is it Just on the trailor? I don’t understand why they would have a song like that on this movie even on the trailor.. Can someone explain this to me please!!

Just finished watching Bella, and I was already searching for the soundtrack before the credits started rolling. Love the music. The perfect mix of old and new. The music was as moving as the movie. Thanks for putting this together.

Just saw the movie last night. It is a truly great film. Makes you think about what really matters in life. Too often I can identify with racing through life just to get by, and if/when we get there we just want to get a bit ahead. This movie makes me want to slow down and live. Deeply moving. Thank you to all the filmmakers.

I was walking in the video store when the cover caught my eye. Great movie, but I can’t seem to find Jon Secada’s version of
Cucurrucucu Paloma. At first I thought it was a different take of Caetano Veloso, maybe he had done another version, but thanks to dvd I paused when the song credit rolled up and was surprised to see Jon Secada’s name. By the way the Bella soundtrack site has nothing on music it just goes to the movie site.
Any help would be great…

Okay, Okay. It was a great movie. The ending snuck up on me and I had to think about it a while. Lately, I have had trouble sitting through movies. I sorta surf the internet or check the fridge etc.. This one easily kept my attention throughout the movie. I was fascinated by Nina. I will probably have to watch it again to appreciate some of the messages, however, I think I have the main idea. Great job on the movie and we need more heartfelt movies beautifully done.

Now quit ramblin on and get back to work everyone. This is the boss, haha

A couple of people here have asked about the Switchfoot songs used in the movie. Jon Foreman’s “My Love Goes Free” from his album “Fall” has already been mentioned, but in case anyone is still looking I thought I’d mention the other one: it’s called “C’mon C’mon.” The song was included on a 3-song EP Switchfoot was giving away to people who pre-ordered the album “Oh! Gravity,” but the version in the movie was a different arrangement/mix and I don’t know where it came from.

It’s rare that a movie like this comes along. It truly blew me away. The music was definitely a major factor. I instantly fell in love with the Joey Ryan, Light On song, played while they were walking to the beach. Right after watching the movie, I immediately searched for the song and with persistence and luck, I found it for free download! And completely legal! I’m so thrilled! Here is the site so you can download it yourself. http://www.billyhawn.com/studio/audio_samples/. A toast to Bella and to more movies as inspirational as this!

Sway by Rosemary Clooney
…………………………………………
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me
Make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close
Sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me
Sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me

Stay with me
Sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I grow weak

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before
It begins
Make me thrill as only you know how

Sway me smooth
Sway me now

Quien sera el que me quiere a mi
Quien sera
Quien sera
Quien sera el que me de su amor

Quien sera
Quien sera

I can hear the sound of violins
Long before
It begins
Make me thrill as only you know how

Sway me smooth
Sway me now
Sway me smooth, Sway me now!
