This may be a song from the American Beauty soundtrack, but it seems to me that it has popped up in a number of other movies, and I seem to hear it a lot. The first thing that popped into my head when I heard the first notes was: Hollywood. That is not a good thing. Watching the Oscars the other night confirmed for me that Hollywood and the people that live there are truly living in a different America than the rest of us live in.

Reminds me / similar to the opening sequence to The Italian Job.

Nice

One of those songs I can recognize in 2 seconds. Incredible movie, incredible music.

There is another edition of this out on with just Newman's work on it. I got it and it doesn't have any of the other soundtrack songs by other artists on it.

Check out Newman's soundtrack to "Lemony Snicket," particularly "Drive Away (End Theme)."

I'll be the one to place the lone negative comment on this song's board, but I think you'll agree. I wish they'd made a soundtrack with the original score instead of the "popular artists and oh yeah the composer's one or two best cuts" version they did. I'd have your baby, Thomas Newman, if it were physically possible. My point is, you write music good.

How could anyone give this a '2'? What is there not to like?

totally puts me in mind of Spacey....love it

Thanks to whomever uploaded this. This is one of my favorite soundtracks of the last five years. Has a lot of great music on it.

Lester says "I'm just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose." Great line.

Such a wicked song!!

I learn something new everyday...Good to know Thomas Newman..well I heard the fascinating music before

there's a great dance-mix of the six feet under theme -- anyone have a copy to download?

I love Thomas Newman. He can do no wrong (almost).

it makes me happy that people still make music like this

Beautiful!

What a beauty.

It only took about 2 seconds for me to recognize this song. It was perfect for the movie. Sounds good on its own as well.

His music definitely sets the mood for Six Feet Under, one of the best shows on TV.

aahh...i loved the movie; so hysterically funny, and so pathetically sad, too

excellent selection.
i love the percussion in this.
perhaps we'll hear the main title from 'six feet under' soon?
ha! :D
