There aren't many directors with the talent--or nerve--to compose and play the music for their films (although creepmeister John Carpenter comes to mind), and none have done it more artfully than Mike Figgis on Leaving Las Vegas. Though Figgis was nominated for both writing and directing Oscars (and Nicolas Cage won one for Best Actor) for the 1995 film, listening to his subdued, moody jazz (punctuated by vocal standard renditions by Sting and Don Henley) one can't help feeling that his music was unfairly overlooked. Smokey and mournful, it plays against the Vegas musical stereotype by underscoring the loneliness at the heart of Sin City. --Jerry McCulley

Thanks for the reviews! I will not buy it now.......2006-12-30

As much as I love the movie Leaving Las Vegas, I refuse to buy it if "Lonely Teardrops" is not on the soundtrack.

most key song from Michael - Lonely Tear drops missing?.......2005-03-12

This is terrible that the key song in the sound track by Michael McDonald - Lonely Tear Drops is missing??
Is there another version

lonely teardrops not here.......2003-02-15

If you're looking for Michael MacDonald's "Lonely Teardrops," it' ain't on here. Buy "Live At The Beacon." It's on there.

What Happened.......2000-02-08

The soundtrack for Leaving Las Vegas was very good, Mike Figgis is an excellent conducter of the boozy feel of moments better left without lyrics. However, I cannot in good conscience give the soundtrack a higher rating, as the absence of the Michael McDonald version of "Lonely Teardrops", used twice in the film to great effect, is not available anywhere, I presume, as I've been unable to track it down. WHY? This song is incredible, and well worth the price of admission. Sting and Don Henley not withstanding, they both are very good, but the absence of Mike on the soundtrack is a Major letdown....if anyone knows how to get a copy of the "Lonely Teardrops" version on this movie please let me know...Buk218@aol.com
