The Dear John Soundtrack

There are 15 songs in the movie Dear John, but not all of the songs are on the soundtrack album. You can find all 15 of them here.

If the soundtrack to a movie alone were reason enough for me to see that movie (and it often is for me), then I might just have to go out and see Dear John. Snow Patrol’s Set the Fire to the Third Bar plays at the end of the trailer. And I love the song Paperweightby Josh Radin and Schuyler Fisk. They are both brilliant individually, and are even more so together. Schulyer Fisk’s song Hello is still one of my favorites from the last couple years. Together, they are even better.

Here’s the complete list of songs from Dear John, including tunes from 311, Ryan Adams, Ozomatli and The Swell Season. The soundtrack album to the movie has a good number of the songs on it, but you can find all of them here.
