I do not like much this film. I do not like too much its soundtrack either. But I do love emotional music, like the one that can be found on this amazing Bowie's version from Eden Ahbez's standard jazz tune - Nature Boy -. A breathtaking song, even more considering that it's just an orchestra with David Bowie's voice.

(Ewan McGregor: Spoken) This story is about love. The woman I loved is dead

(Bowie: Sung) There was a boy. A very strange enchanted boy. They say he wandered, very far, over land and sea. A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he. And then one day, one magic day, he passed my way while we spoke of many things, fools and kings. This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return".
