All 45 Songs from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Benjamin Button is a fascinating movie with a brilliant New Orleans Jazz soundtrack, including seven songs from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. There are 45 songs in the movie. The two CD soundtrack album does a decent job of recreating the music, with the score from Alexandre Desplat as well as a quarter of the songs from the movie.
But if you want all of the songs from the movie, you are going to have to look beyond the album, to Reelsoundtrack.com. You can find the videos and downloads for the songs from the movie there.
Here’s the list of songs from the movie in the order they appeared in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button:
Hi! Great list, but one song is missing! What is that happy sunshine love (maybe reggea style) song that is featured in the middle of the movie’s second part when Benjamin and Daisy were coupled. The scene is a city…lyrics maybe contained something like “my heart goes bum bum”…etc.
i love the soundtrack.
what was the title of that classical piece played on the piano during daisy’s ballet audition? does anyone know?
it was only played for like 5 seconds.
@_@
does anyone know what song is playing in the background while Daisy is dancing on the gazebo in the park in New Orleans late at night with Benjamin watching. Its one of the most mournful beautiful pieces of jazz Ive ever heard….. I wanna say its Louis Arsmtrong the way whoever it is, is wailing on that trumpet….. some please let me know. email me at michael.triscele@gmail.com
The name of the song that plays on a loop on the DVD menu of Benjamin Button’s is called “It Was Nice To Have Met You” by the composer Alexandre Desplat. IM POSITIVE. I have spent hours looking for it and it was pretty much under my nose the entire time. but oh well…at least I found it. It’s a BEAUTIFUL song and I love it.
I found out what it is. It is a portion of “Love in Mourmansk” from the soundtrack. The reason it is not easily recognizable is that it is the part of the song that starts at about the 2:05 mark.
What is the piano piece played at daisy’s ballet class? I do not mean the first audition but the second scene at the ballet school where she reads benjamins postcard saying he’s fallen in love. I’d really appreciate it if some knew.

Dear Old Southland by Louis Armstrong
Does anyone know what song is looping on the main menu of the DVD? I really like that piece.
I’d love to know also
me too! it reminded me of one of the themes from Edward Scissorhands (esp. “ice dance” and “death”). Does anyone know this song?
