Il Postino














My best friend shared with me a music file containing Glenn Close’s reading of Pablo Neruda’s “I Like For You To Be Still.” I am not familiar with Neruda’s works but I was already a fan even before the reading has ended. Listening to Glenn Close moved me. She read ever so powerfully. I had to get the Il Postino OST fast. And yes, it was worth it. Ralph Fiennes’s “Ode To The Sea” and Andy Garcia’s “Tonight I Can Write” made me smile and tugged at my heart at the same time. I didn’t realize Wesley Snipes could read so beautifully. “If You Forget Me” is only as beautiful as any poem could ever get. To anyone who shares a passion both in music and poetry, this is a must-have.
