Overboard Film Score by Alan Silvestri

Not only is Overboard one of my favorite Goldie Hawn films, but it’s also one of my favorite films of all time. It was one of the first movies that I remember watching as a little kid. I always thought my mom was just like Goldie Hawn’s character – after she fell off the boat. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that everyone has seen this movie. If not, PLEASE WATCH IT! It really is a wonderful movie. Definitely a tear jerker. It wasn’t a major hit when it came out, but the message it portrays is very inspirational. And what better actress to execute such a role than the one and only Goldie Hawn??

This video contains some of the main sections of the film score. I’ve always found the score to be so touching. It’s definitely one that tugs on my heart strings. Alan Silvestri is a favorite film composer of mine. He’s composed scores for many movies, like the Back to the Future series, Death Becomes Her (another Goldie Hawn film),  the Father of the Bride films, Lilo and Stitch, The Bodyguard, Stuart Little, The Parent Trap, The Polar Express, and the one and only Forrest Gump.

I hope everyone enjoys this lovely score as I much as I did and continue to do! I also hope that everyone is enjoying these last few weeks of summer… I know I am!

-Live and love your life!
