Follow Me Down

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”-Alice

Growing up my favorite movie was Alice in Wonderland, which became my favorite book when I found my mom’s old copy of the story. I had been looking forward to seeing Alice in Wonderland since the beginning and became even more excited when I realized all the amazing potential that would come from such an amazing director (Tim Burton), intriguing story line, and extraordinary cast members Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Crispin Glover. So of course I went and saw the movie in 3D and loved it-and am going again… Before I saw the movie I though, I heard the soundtrack and instantly fell in like…

The album is filled with so many fun and talented artists each with the perfect not-like-the-other song which come together creating the right vibes for the wonderful spontaneous chaos type of movie Alice in Wonderland is.
All of the songs are good, my favorites are Her Name is Alice, Painting Flowers, Strange, In Transit, Where is My Angel, Welcome to Mystery, Alice's Theme, and White Rabbit.

Also, there’s the actual Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, which has all the setting music heard in the movie. The music is by Danny Elfman who has done incredible work, such as A Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, and he is at it again. Elfman composed such a variety of unique songs which are mystifying and intriguing and range anywhere from high tempo to low tempo, quick and intense to soft and peaceful, and have such a dream-like and harmonious sensation about them. They are surrealistic and strange and fit perfectly with Alice’s adventures in Wonderland. The music is wonderfully orchestrated and displays a lot of well placed talent. It is incredible music.
