In terms of movie love songs, they don’t come much bigger than I Will Always Love You. Gorgeous leads, amazing dancing and music, magical, romantic and just a little bit sad – you can see why it’s a modern classic.ģ) I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston ( The Bodyguard, 1992) Ryan Gosling, as jazz obsessive Sebastian, famously learned to play the piano from scratch for the part, and the soundtrack takes in everything from a lush orchestral waltz for the magical Planetarium sequence to the dizzy joy of the Summer Montage/Madeline sequence and then the delicate, almost melancholic City of Stars, which first appears as a solo by Gosling, and later as a duet between him and co-star Emma Stone. As the overture, it establishes the film’s musical style as a blend of the contemporary and the traditional. From the glorious, sweeping opening ensemble tracking shot of LA’s commuters singing and dancing around their cars on the highway to the jazzy, upbeat strains of Another Day of Sun, the scene is set for a technicolour, Old Hollywood romance. La La Land’s soundtrack won the Oscar for Best Original Score – and Best Original Song for the gorgeous City of Stars. 2) City Of Stars - Ryan Goslng & Emma Stone ( La La Land, 2017)
