I just can't find it
It’s early 1998. I see a preview for Saving Private Ryan. Something about the music they used during it just made me want the soundtrack. I think I bought the soundtrack before I even saw the movie. I bought it from Circuit City the morning it was released. I was quite the soundtrack junkie back then, and if it’s John Williams you know it’s going to be good. The main piece on the album, Hymn to the Fallen, is one of my favorite songs. However, the song on the preview is not on the album. This isn’t too uncommon, usually the scores for the movies are one of the last things done, so trailer-makers will borrow themes from other movies.
Last night I got to thinking that the preview for Saving Private Ryan must be on YouTube, and it certainly was, and I finally, after 10 years heard the song that I heard maybe once or twice but fell in love with it. I looked online and found out it’s from the soundtrack to the movie ‘The American President’, by Marc Shaiman. However… I can’t find it anywhere! The album is on Amazon, but I’m just looking for a download of the song. And I can’t find it anywhere. I’m kinda bummed.
