The Power of Music in "It Ends With Us" - Soundtrack Guide
You already know about the drama in the book and the heart-wrenching drama in the movie, and now, "It Ends With Us" has another component that helps bring the powerful story to life – music! This Movie adaptation has chosen the perfect blend of original music and iconic songs to create that "Oh no, this is intense, this is powerful!" feeling that really hits you hard.
It was written by Colleen Hoover and was based on that emotional and complex relationship that unfolds – one full of romance, abuse, and the struggle to break a cycle of painful history. If you haven’t already seen it (but be prepared for intense moments, the subject is hard, even if the actors are really good) - this guide can help break down the songs, the moments, and how they helped shape the Movie, just like how the Music helped make you cry at the end of "Titanic" back in the day.
“It Ends With Us” - That Moment the Song Hit You
"It Ends With Us" isn’t shy about its strong emotions - and neither is the Soundtrack. With every powerful, heartbreaking scene there's a song, either in the background, or the foreground to really drive those emotions right into you. Like, those moments when it's silent, well, you might even feel it more intensely! There's that magic, or the magic of how film and music works together, right? It was just as real as watching “Beauty and the Beast” or “The Lion King”, the story wouldn't have felt the same.
And if you don't wanna relive those scenes every time you hear that song? No worries! The music and Soundtrack can be played on those big streaming sites – Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, even Youtube Music - it's everywhere! So even if the movie has already moved from theatres, you can listen whenever you want!
That Feeling when Ethel Cain Comes on in "It Ends With Us"
"Strangers" by Ethel Cain – This song sets the tone for the entire film, playing when Lily is in the midst of an emotionally complex moment in the movie, when she is on the roof overlooking the city, feeling everything and nothing at the same time. You just want to hug her!
“Hymn” by Rhye - Think "romantic tension"! It plays at the peak of Lily and Ryle's story in that steamy bedroom scene! That's how it works, you have those passionate, almost intense scenes and it hits you harder because the song just makes the emotions more powerful. You’re going to get hooked.
Ethel Cain's "Everytime": That Music is for Your Feelings
You can tell they’ve carefully picked every song, even the credits! "Everytime" is a little heartbreaker, a beautiful reminder of the way those feelings come back even when we try to get over them.
"It Ends With Us", well, it's like it really gets that music does something amazing in film, like it takes the experience to another level. The score, it’s an entirely different vibe from those iconic Songs – those big sweeping moments when you want to cry but also feel everything so intensely!
