The Pocahontas soundtrack is beautiful, with the songs reflected the mood and atmosphere within the movie (I loved the way the wind itself seemed to have a voice), and even helped propel the story forward. And to be honest, could you imagine a better way for Pocahontas to teach John Smith about the way of her people if not through song? The Pocahontas soundtrack was the last one to win the double-sweep at the Academy Awards, as much as it rightly deserves.

Then there are a few songs that were deleted from the original theatrical version but have since been preserved in the 10th Anniversary DVD release. These are:
  • If I Never Knew You [ lyrics ]
  • In the Middle of the River [ lyrics ]
  • Dancing to the Wedding Drum

I love the instrumentals just as much as I love the songs. My personal favourite is Farewell, which is the music from the final farewell between John Smith and Pocahontas. The powerful chorus reprise of Colours of the Wind never fails to give me goosebumps. My second fav would be River’s Edge, which is the music from the scene where Pocahontas and John Smith have their cat-and-mouse game at the waterfalls.

Oh yeah, then there was the sequel. I couldn't really pay attention to most of the songs (forgettable as they were), but there was one gem out of that movie: Where Do I Go From Here. [ lyrics ]
