专辑介绍： 原声带同时收录了Mark Mancina所创作的两轨配乐以及多首当代艺人的精采唱作，像是5座葛莱美奖得主John Legend的都会灵魂乐作品"Someday"，加州摇滚乐团Five For Fighting创作核心John Ondrasik的真情之歌"King Of The Earth"，还有葛莱美奖小号天才Chris Botti细腻诠释"Moondance"以及他与葛莱美奖女歌手Paula Cole携手演绎的不朽名曲"God Bless The Child"。
　　影片中的男、女主角因音乐而结缘，而他们素未谋面的小孩透过音乐找寻自己的亲身父母，音乐在影片中扮演着维系这三位主角之间的情感的重要角色。男主角乔纳森·莱斯·梅耶斯亲自披挂上阵演唱多首歌曲，其中包括了Van Morrison 1970年的浪漫情歌"Moondance"，心情小品"This Time"，还有融合了古典与流行摇滚乐风格的组曲"Bach/Break"、"Elgar/Something Inside"。


Who knew Jonathan Rhys Meyers had such an aching, lovely croon? In August Rush, he supplies his own vocals in the role of an Irish indie-rock singer, and it's a testament to his skill that he doesn't embarrass himself on Van Morrison's "Moondance." (He's even better on Lucas Reynolds' "Something Inside.") This is fairly representative of this CD's flavor: thoughtful, adult but not bland--typically, you hear a lot of cello throughout. John Ondrasik, stepping out from his Five for Fighting persona, wrote new material, though the best song, "King of the Earth," is an unreleased one by his main project that boasts superb, elegant production by Bill Bottrell. Intriguingly, guitar virtuoso Kaki King is the hand double for Freddie Highmore, who plays the film's child prodigy. Her two instrumentals, "Bari Improv" and "Ritual Dance," are treats for lovers of inventive acoustic playing, who should also enjoy the self-explanatory "Dueling Guitars." John Legend sounds aching on "Someday," though the cover of "God Bless the Child," by Chris Botti and Paula Cole, feels a little lite. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
