"Iris" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Uninvited" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song, and was nominated for Best Song Written For A Motion Picture Or For Television. "City Of Angels" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition Written For A Motion Picture Or For Television.
In the bittersweet "Angel," Sarah McLachlan croons, "You are pulled from the wreckage of your sudden reverie/You're in the arms of the angel/May you find some comfort here." U2"s "If God Will Send His Angels" asks the question, "If God will send his angels/And if God will send a sign/Where do we go?" The spiritual tone of this soundtrack, laden with angelic images, is set from the beginning, occasionally brought down to earth by bluesy entries like John Lee Hooker's "Mama, You Got a Daughter" and Eric Clapton's "Further On Up the Road." A major part of CITY OF ANGELS' appeal is its inclusion of previously unreleased material from Goo Goo Dolls, Peter Gabriel, and Alanis Morissette, whose "Uninvited" is a riveting, dramatically layered ballad which veers from sweet to edgy and stark.

Feeelin Love-Sexy, Erotic..... This soundtrack is awesome. Paula Cole with Feelin Love...wow! One of the most erotic songs I've ever heard. If you listen to this song, there's no doubt about what erotic is! A pair of stilettos, sexy panties and bra and a mans shirt.....he'll lose his mind!

Soul touching music I was eager to get this CD and once in my hands I haven't turned it off. Every song either makes me want to cry or make love to my husband. The composition by Gabriel Yared is inspiring and beautiful. Iris, Uninvited, Feelin Love, and Angels are played repeatedly in my home. This is such an amazing CD with all the different components which effect both ethos and pathos. I encourage everyone to buy this soundtrack. Some things are true whether you believe in it or not . . . . Submitted by a reviewer (DeKalb, IL) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 4 found this helpful.
