SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:45 Min.
Appearing as Track # 12, the Irish-born Devlins’ “Crossing the River” is from 1995’s Batman Forever soundtrack.
REVIEW:
Unfairly buried on a paycheck-driven soundtrack is this underrated romantic gem. With its indie rock-style twist, this wistful love song has every vital component: an appealing melody, articulate lyrics, and The Devlins are in top vocal form. Short of Seal’s show-stopping “Kiss From a Rose,” this track easily wins second-place among Batman Forever’s fourteen songs (only five of which actually appear in the film). Highly recommended!
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
Note: Besides Seal’s “Kiss From a Rose,” another track from this album worth considering is Brandy’s “Where Are You Now?” – much like “Crossing the River,” it’s too easily overlooked.
