This is one of my comfort movies. The end makes me weep every time, just showing the sunset and the corn for .5 seconds will do it. James Horner is a big part of that. He's one of my favorite composers, and it's such a loss that he passed away so early. What more he could have given us. I wish this album was on spotify. I was a wreck watching the MLB game they played and televised at the Field of Dreams in 2021.
"My father's name was John Kinsella. It's an Irish name. He was born in North Dakota in 1896, and never saw a big city until he came back from France in 1918. He settled in Chicago, where he quickly learned to live and die with the White Sox. Died a little when they lost the 1919 World Series. Died a lot the following summer when eight members of the team were accused of throwing that series. He played in the minors for a year too, but nothing ever came of it. Moved to Brooklyn in '35, married Mom in '38. He was already an old man working at the naval yards when I was born in 1952. My name's Ray Kinsella. Mom died when I was three, and I suppose Dad did the best he could. Instead of Mother Goose, I was put to bed at night to stories of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the great Shoeless Joe Jackson. Dad was a Yankees fan then, so of course I rooted for Brooklyn. But in '58, the Dodgers moved away, so we had to find other things to fight about. We did. And when it came time to go to college, I picked the farthest one from home I could find. This, of course, drove him right up the wall, which I suppose was the point. Officially, my major was English, but really it was the '60s. I marched, I smoked some grass, I tried to like sitar music, and I met Annie. The only thing we had in common was that she came from Iowa, and I had once heard of Iowa. After graduation, we moved to the Midwest and stayed with her family as long as we could... almost a full afternoon. Annie and I got married in June of '74. Dad died that fall. A few years later, Karin was born. She smelled weird, but we loved her anyway. Then Annie got the crazy idea that she could talk me into buying a farm. I'm thirty-six years old, I love my family, I love baseball, and I'm about to become a farmer. And until I heard the Voice, I'd never done a crazy thing in my whole life."
Hey, dude! I'm not from your continent and don't understand as well as as other Americans might the cultural significance of some of the references you mentioned. But, all I can say is that I wanted to hear more. And, if it makes a difference, whilst reading, I had the image and the clear sound of the Cheers theme playing in my head. I class that as a compliment, hope you do too...
If you start reading this right at 1:28 while doing your best Kostner impersonation you should nail it spot on with the music change. Took me about 3 times to get it korrect, but it actually works...
I love the soundtrack to this film. Just so magical and full of emotion. It probably why I loved it so much as a kid and why I still love it as an adult. Probably my favorite Kevin Costner film. Definitely on my favorite films list and will definitely pass it on to my children one day if I have any.
I was able to attend the last two games played at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati back in 2002. That place held a lot of memories from my childhood, and will always be special to me. Waiting for the fireworks show after the next to last game, they started playing this soundtrack. I started crying like a baby. Hearing this music always takes me back to that night and those memories.
It feels special to love a movie that was one of my father's favorites, like in the movie, I feel as though I can connect with him through it. He sadly passed away when I was too young to share with him in person.
This was one of my dad's favorite movies, and every time I hear the score I get melancholic, but something about it just makes me feel very happy at the same time. It's a difficult feeling to convey in words, kind of a "you know it when you feel it" sort of feeling. I've never been able to find it on any streaming services, like Spotify or Amazon or even on Itunes, so thank you for uploading this playlist. It gives me a lot of comfort in difficult times.
It’s been 3 years since you wrote your comment, I hope you are well I’m old school and found this soundtrack on CD at Amazon That is if you’re still doing c/D’like me
go back re watch this movie. STILL have it, used to own the 20th anniversary on DVD and Bought the Blu ray when it was New back in 2008. I never get old watching field of Dreams one my ALL TIME FAVORITE Movies.
Mr Horner was simply inspired. You try to explain it but you can't. Years and years of learning your craft, and suddenly you create something that people will always remember you for. And when it's as 'epically' as simple and beautiful as this, i guess you won't mind being remembered for just this. And it is such a shame that he passed away
That's the amazing talent of Jim Thatcher, who was Horner's first horn for several of his filmscores including "Cocoon" and "The Rocketeer". Jim was at one time a student of the late, legendary Vince DeRosa, who was the first horn for about 60 years and who recently passed back in July of this year (2022) at age 101. Vince is considered the father of the iconic Hollywood sound, recording on a Conn 8D. When Vince retired from studio work, Jim continued his legacy with the same big, lush sound that is featured on most of the major soundtracks over the past 40 years. I'm fortunate to be a student of Jim's and I strive for that classic timbre when I play.
Just posting here for another legend beyond the music of this soundtrack... James Earl Jones. "people will come ray.. ohhh people will come", loved his role in this movie
It was a perfect game. First game I had watched since my dad passed in 2007. Kinda felt like he was there watching it with me. We used to love this movie.
MaxKol I completely agree with the idea that we shouldn't ban certain books in schools, which just so happens to be the First Amendment. I think that's exactly the opposite of what her character (and not Amy Madigan herself) was protesting against.
Actually, it's alive and well. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to post ridiculous comments on the Internet. If you want to see a country without a First Amendment, ask someone who lives in China what they get to watch on TH-cam.
The musical genius of James Horner. Evoking emotions that you can't even name. May he Rest in Peace....

Serious chills. Thank you, Mathew Godfrey

That horn solo... I'm speechless, that's how horns should always sound
Thank you...that was my dad. He always played the very best.

R.I.P James Earl Jones.
mr horner passed away last week for all those who did not know. May he rest in Gods Kingdom.
Bless that man, on the horns in heaven. ❤
Love listening to this while I work on anything. Amazing soundtrack.
Baseball magic……❤
This reminds me of Heaven and The LORD Jesus Christ. Such a nice soul He is...
How in the world does a movie about Baseball make me feel so many interesting emotions?!
I feel like this was explained near the end of the movie 🤣
Just posting here for another legend beyond the music of this soundtrack... James Earl Jones. "people will come ray.. ohhh people will come", loved his role in this movie
R.I.P. James Earl Jones
Thanks for sharing this.
Rest easy, Charlie Hustle
Beethoven has been reincarnated in James Horner, whom sadly passed last June.
Im going to the set for my 50th birthday.
Take a mitt and ball. There is always a pick up game going. You won’t be disappointed.
When "The Call" song hit at 3:54.... chills!
The opening piano when he goes through the family photos... kills me every time. Can't find the opening sequence anywhere. Help! :)
this the soundtrack you're looking for listen at 1:27
Jeremy Soule? Weren't you the composer for those Harry Potter games?
C.S. Lewis once said that when a man bullies his deep-set longing for God and Heaven, he calls it cruel names like "Nostalgia."
Who else watched MLB's field of dreams game today?
The game couldn't be any better, truly an unforgettable experience to watch.
It was a perfect game. First game I had watched since my dad passed in 2007. Kinda felt like he was there watching it with me. We used to love this movie.
Give credit to James Horner. He did the soundtrack... Not John Horner, whoever that guy is...
Andrew Smith Aw, shit, thanks for the heads up. Probably fucked up somewhere in the description and then c/p'd it for the rest of them.
BlazingGamer153 No prob. James Horner is my favorite composer. Gotta give the man credit.
There'll never be another guy like him (James Horner). Titanic, Field of Dreams etc. The man composed some amazing music and will be missed :-(
She smelled weird, but we loved her anyway, LOL
The Chumscrubber from 4:30
"If you build it, he will come"
Questa musica è fantastica
I would have loved this movie more without all the hippie liberal bs.
MaxKol I would've loved this comment more without the anti-liberal bs.
Greg Saum So you must've agreed with all of Amy Madigan's commie bs .
MaxKol I completely agree with the idea that we shouldn't ban certain books in schools, which just so happens to be the First Amendment. I think that's exactly the opposite of what her character (and not Amy Madigan herself) was protesting against.
The first amendment is dead in America, thanks to the gay rights movement.
Actually, it's alive and well. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to post ridiculous comments on the Internet. If you want to see a country without a First Amendment, ask someone who lives in China what they get to watch on TH-cam.
