Silent Hill (film soundtrack)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Silent Hill film soundtrack, is the soundtrack of a film adaptation of the popular Konami video game.
Silent Hill was released into cinemas on April 21, 2006 to mixed reviews. The film's musical score was arranged by Jeff Danna (Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Boondock Saints) using the original music from the Silent Hill video-game series, which was composed by Akira Yamaoka. Yamaoka also supervised the arranging and remixing of the soundtrack.
To date there has been no official announcement regarding the release of the film's soundtrack. The only differences between the tracks as they appear in the games compared to the film are the remixed and modified versions or new renditions of certain songs, such as "Promise (Reprise)", and a few others. The only song on the soundtrack that was not taken from the games and composed by Yamaoka is Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire".
Below is a list of the songs featured in the film in the order they appear and their respective games of origin.
Vocals on "Letters... from Lost Days", "Lost Carol", "Waiting for You", and "You're Not Here" by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.
