Album Description
Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life -- a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and often hilarious journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life. Holly's mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends, Sharon (Gina Gershon) and Denise (Lisa Kudrow), begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. John Powell's beautiful and spirited score is released just in time for the film's DVD premiere.

A charming score! October 23, 2008

A very light and soothing soundtrack (flavored with a generous touch of Irish-inspired themes). It really captured the tone and the spirit of the film.
PS I Love You Motion Picture Score September 19, 2008
bflo (CA)
This is a wonderful CD to be enjoyed by lovers of the movie especially. It has multiple variations on the love theme as it relates to the various scenes of the movie. Listening to it conjures up the feelings one has when watching the film itself. Gerry's theme is the predominant one, of course, but William also has a distinct theme that is beautiful. Everyone who loved the film will want to own this CD!
Excellent Purchase June 17, 2008

I loved this movie and I love the music from the movie. As I sit and listen to the score, I can see the scene from the movie in my mind. I love this score.
A "Sweet" Score From Powell April 25, 2008
moviescore1 (Nashville, TN)

I've been a fan of John Powell since his Media Ventures days and he continues to me amaze me with his versatility. This is not the big bombastic score like "X-Men 3" but this is the John Powell of "I Am Sam" and "Gigli." I would venture to say this score is better than Sam or Gigli as there is more melody, instrumentation and a stronger string presence. From start to finish it is just simply a pleasant listening experience. I haven't seen the movie (which I heard was fantastic) but after hearing the score, I actually really want to see the film. Powell has rapidly become one of my favorite composers and this score justifies that. Favorite tracks on this album include, "Jacket", "To Eire", "William On The Lake", "Gerry's Fort", "The Kiss" and more.
An Amazing Light & Delicate Score From Powell. A True Delight. April 24, 2008
Kaya Savas (Baltimore, MD USA)

John Powell is no stranger to the romance genre. Having composed scores for films like Two Weeks Notice, Forces Of Nature, Gigli and Just Visiting he has definitely familiarized himself with the genre. The thing to note though is that for some reason when most people think of romance films they automatically think comedy as well, which is mostly true. The "romcom" is definitely a popular film, but what makes P.S. I Love You different is that it's more of a romantic drama.
I would probably compare this score most closely with his score to I Am Sam. It's a very light score with heavy focus on strings and some focus on a solo guitar for the more delicate cues. The subject matter is dealing with a woman who is dealing with the death of her one true love and starting a new life, and the mood is definitely that in the score. There is a hint of sorrow and almost a "renewing" quality to the score that I felt when listening to it. Images of springtime definitely flooded into my head during my first listen. The simplicity and delicate nature of the music makes it feel like it's growing into something more.
It definitely holds that John Powell style. "To Eire" is a great track that will make Powell fans smile because it has those swelling strings we've come to recognize in a lot of Powell scores. The most impressive part to me is that he is able to create a light and delicate atmosphere without falling into that sappy and schmaltzy sound that we hear a lot nowadays in films like this. I really think it takes a talented composer to be able to stay way from that overly sweet and saccharine sound because it's really easy to fall into that trap.
Powell is a master at crafting sounds for different genres. Take his two previous score releases before this (Horton Hears A Who! & Stop-Loss) and then compare it to this. The range he has is amazing. I've been a Powell fan since his Zimmer days and his score to Face/Off and will be looking forward to more great listening experiences from one of the most talented composers working today.
