Music By Danny Elfman
Full title: The Story Of Edward Scissorhands.
Original music written by Danny Elfman.
It is not the easiest task to combine compassion and creepiness into one musical piece, but Danny Elfman has demonstrated, quite elegantly, just how to do it. Edward Scissorhands is quite considerably his masterpiece, instantly recognizable and hauntingly memorable. The concept of a man-made creation, a recluse who has been left with scissors for hands because his inventor died just before attaching natural ones, is certainly strange and possibly laughable. The film may indeed have played as pure farce if not for Elfman's artistry. While many films use soundtrack as the "glue" of the story, or as border, Elfman saturates every bit of Scissorhands so that it is as much his art as it is the director's (Tim Burton). The opening title is fantastic, emitting the wonder of childhood dreams and classic storybooks. But it is only the starting point on a journey of music that concludes with the "grand finale," which is not merely grand, but all encompassing. There are minor detours along the way, like "Edwardo the Barber," which is fun and reminiscent of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but even in its lighter moments, Edward Scissorhands is classic. ~ Peter Fawthrop

Tender
Danny Elfman has shown a world in music. A world of innocence and love plagued by schemes and mistrust. The music strikes a chord in my heart, bringing tears to the eyes. A beautiful movie, that was blown into a classic and the soundtrack should follow those footsteps. A soundtrack of beautiful tragedy, buy it and find a love like i did.

Absolutely beautiful!
It's impossible to tell how much you love it in words, the only way to truly find out is to listen for yourself.
Hard to find such good music that'll literally take you on a whole adventure/fairytale and leave you wanting for more. (wish it would never stop)

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Danny Elfman's Most Tender Score
Danny Elfman's personal best. His own distinctive style, combined with Tim Burton's unique imagination makes for a most moving fairy-tale story with equally dream-like innocence and simplicity.
Tracks 1 and 7 have the two main themes for Edward, which are extremely pretty. The rest are either variations of the two main themes or crucial supplements to the developement of the story, but pretty none the less.
The score for this film is one of Danny Elfman's best, and you are weird if 1 & 7 doesn't make you want to close your eyes to further enjoy the music.
