The Pocahontas soundtrack features songs by the talented Alan Menken
and Stephen Schwartz, created to support the story and add on to the journey of
the characters. This is one of those albums I can listen back to front, songs
and instrumentals together, and never get tired of.
Then there are a few songs that were deleted from the original theatrical version but have since been
preserved as extras in the 10th Anniversary DVD release. These are:
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.
