okay, you know the theme song from risky business? its called like love on a real train by tangerine dream i think, something kinda like that. something that starts out slow, and gets more intense as it progresses. just something that sounds captivating, and emotional, even dark sounding, as long as its not happy, life is great type music. i am not opposed to any specific genres. it can be techno or rock or strings anything.

From what you say I think the above recommendation of 'Journey To The Line' by Zimmer would be a great choice!

Another good choice would be the track 'The Shawshank Redemption' by Thomas Newman from the film of the same name.

Yes, sometimes people listen to songs.... and other times, they just confuse songs and score. No biggy though... unless you're a major collector... then it's a huge no-no.

Well, if you are looking for an "intense" sound, with a song-like musical elements (which I could interpret as "pop-isms") and preferably without words, I strongly recommend you to check Craig Armstrong's "Escape" (more song-like than "hanging" which has the same chordal progression, but a different instrumentation and rhythm) from "Plunket and McLeane" soundtrack.

I also strongly recommend you to check E.S. Posthumus Unearthed CD. Almost all of the tracks there have that emotional music you might be looking for.
Check this website where you can download some of the songs from the CD.

Pay special attention to "Pompeii". It has a powerful, intense sound, with rich and modern instrumentation and arrangement, not necessarily happy, and without words (although it has a strong choral arrangement).

Good luck!

That's bad, but more often, the contrary happens, and that's even worse: In many cases, the "soundtrack" CD contains the songs used in, but not written for, the movie, which are already available elsewhere (on the albums for which they were originally written), but do NOT contain, or contain only very little of, the music that was actually written FOR the movie and is therefore not available in any other way. In case of the increasingly popular "music from and inspired by" albums, you typically have some previously available songs used in the movie, plus lots of songs totally unrelated to the movie, and if you're interested in the actual music written for the movie, you can be happy if some other record label (like Varese Sarabande) can afford to release a small portion of that music later on.
