The Longest Ride is a beautiful movie: amazing story line, great acting, and of course the music was perfectly sweet as well. Well.. it is a Nicholas Sparks masterpiece so what else is to be expected. While, personally, I enjoyed Ira's love story a bit more, Luke and Sophia's story is lovely also. While in most of the flashbacks to Ira's beautiful love story classical and instrumental music plays, the job gets done with sweet simplicity. On the other side, many modern songs play from all different genres. Some pop folk, alternative, and of course country. Perhaps the most memorable song used was "I feel a Sin Comin' On" by Pistol Annies. It plays as Luke, dressed in his cowboy get-up complete with boots and a hat, walks up to Sophia's sorority house to pick her up for their first date. Its a perfectly modern country song led by Miranda Lambert's powerfully sweet voice. While it may have seemed like an easy choice, it was a great one because of the simplicity of Miranda's voice matched with the sound of snaps to the beat.
