Figo 2 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I chose the seasonal option, since I used to program some of it on the radio a while back, but truthfully I haven't listened to it for two or three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Played it during Xmas last year, as background music, didn't pay much attention to it.stefancos- who doesn't listen much to the Home Alone scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter 0 Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Mostly at Christmastime. To me, it's a Christmas score, so that's when I listen to it.~Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I played Home Alone (and a few tracks from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra) full blast on my stereo this past December once I was done with Finals and packing to go home for Christmas. Thankfully the people on the floor didn't mind, it was a great way to get in the holiday spirit!

PetePan 163 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Sometimes when it's a real nice summer day, I blast the last track of Home Alone II out of the speakers: Merry Christmas.It has sleigh bells in it, but otherwise its simply an all year song to me.PetePan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 To me, music is part of the Christmas decoration. So in the basement, I keep a box that's right by the Christmas light, Bethlehem town and the plastic holly, I have some "Exclusively Chrismtas" CD's. These are:Home AloneHome Alone IIKeith Loghart & Boston Pops Christmas MusicA Very Ally Christmas, by Vonda ShepardMy Favorite Carols, CD-R with carols I downloadedA Christmas Carol, the musical by Alan MenkenClassic Christmas, by the really talented Billy GilmanROSS - who's really into Christmas and Halloween, but given his grandmother is Jewish, he never gets to celebrate, and who thinks that sucks.

CruciformSword 2 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I love the score for Home Alone, and I play it all year round, except for the few christmas song tracks that are thrown on there. I only listen to the orchestral tracks, unless it's near christmas.-Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Director 1 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I love the score and play the score cues often.......but I do that with everything. There is a constant change of music at my house/car/computer. I left Stepmom playing last night on my computer (without the semi-annoying buggy cue) and I fell asleep, woke up this morning, and have just left it going. I'm actually in the mood to listen to Little Women -- one of Tommy Newman's best.Dan - who might act upon his desire "Jackie and Isabel" from Stepmom....(that was almost "Hackie and Kisabel" until I changed it, but you don't care. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Director 1 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I actually got it recently for $8.99 at Best Buy. I haven't heard it yet, but was impressed when he read that Elfman himself sang as Jack.

Ayahuasca 0 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I was playing it yesterday infact.Some bits always remind me of the "tree for a bed" from Jurassic Park.Also, sometimes similar to Elfmans "Edward Scissorhands" soundtrack.P.S : Jim, Amazon UK has the soundtrack available.

Director 1 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Yeah -- I can definitely see simlilaries with JP and I guess some moments of Edward Scissorhands can parallel as well.Dan - not noticing the latter before until now.

Ayahuasca 0 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I was listening to it again this morning, and it really is quite a underated score i reckon. Some beautiful and emotional themes. When i sit and listen to it, i can hear the style of Star Wars ( truly truly...listen and see that kind of format in areas)..One tiny reference to Close Encounters. Some E.T/Jurassic Park style, and the jingly jangly start to Track 1 is like Elfmans "Edward Scissorhands" main title .What a wierd combination ...hehehe.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Home Alone is one of my very favorite scores, but I only listen to it around Christmas.Same here. I wonder if it's been long enough since the last "Favorite Home Alone Song" poll to do another one....as much as I love the sentimental "Somewhere in My Memory," I've been increasingly in awe of "Star of Bethlehem." It's seriously an otherworldly theme, so full of mystery and reverence. I've never heard anything else like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Just listened to Home Alone for the first time last night. Very nice overall. Don't care for some of the songs. Star of Bethlehem and Setting the Trap are real knockouts.Especially Star of Bethlehem. Like Mr. Barnsbury said, full of mystery and reverence. Haunting and beautiful.
