Help please: Joe Satriani's Sleep Walk - which movie?

Maybe he just did a cover on this one? Brilliant in that case but I just GOT to see the movie that featuresd this soundtrack NOW.

Strange beautiful music indeed.

Please help.

The Karate Kid

Road?

Say anything?

La bamba, but it wasn't Satriani

Yeah I'm thinking but... Karate Kid? I got to check it out, it doesn´t seem to be the kinds of movies I expected for this one. Maybe that's why I found it so hard to link? Who knows.

Thanks! Then Satriani definitely made a cover. I think the movie I'm thinking about featured Satriani's cover of sleepwalk but I'm not sure.

I can´t find it on the official La Bamba soundtrack (Richie Valens).

It was played in La Bamba but it was by Santo & Johnny not Valens

Omissions are the biggest problem with this soundtrack, by far. As I previously stated, only one version of La Bamba is on here - not both versions from the film. Another omission is Sleepwalk, the classic Santo And Johnny instrumental that shows up frequently in the film. Its omission is likely due to the fact that it wasn't recorded just for the film, but still, I miss it. And then there's the issue of Rip It Up, the classic Ritchie Valens rockabilly tune he first plays with his band in their garage, early on in the film. This was one of my favorite songs in the film, and I was devastated not to see it on here. And where's the Big Bopper's Chantilly Lace? I rated this soundtrack four stars instead of five because of omissions. If these songs had been on here, it would be five stars all the way.

Thanks ac91633! Maybe I'm just imagining having seen the movie associated with that soundtrack. I'm not so sure anymore, La Bamba never was any of my more memorable movies so I doubt it could be what I'm thinking of.

It seems that tune, Sleepwalk, somehow fits perfectly for me right now. It is devastatingly beautiful, yet melancholic, yet hopeful and filled with love. Like the closing scenes of a movie about humanity.

I think Satriani's version is even more brilliant than the original, his technical superiority in mastering the complex harmonics contributes greatly to the core essence of this tune IMO.

Here is a little article about the creators of the tune: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

I'm beginning to think I have to look forward to see the movie that makes full use of that soundtrack.

Larry Carlton did a very cover of Sleepwalk

Sleepwalk was also played in The Break Up with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.
