'Life As We Know It' Soundtrack Features Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars & Taken By Trees Cover Of Guns N' Roses

We haven't really discussed Greg Berlanti's upcoming rom-com, "Life As We Know It," much cause... well, it's a Katherine Heigl-led picture and as much as we dislike the excessive pile-on hatred of the actress (it begins to border on misogyny, dear media), most of her films aside from "Knocked Up" have been rather loathsome. The picture, which comes out this weekend on October 8, centers on two single adults (Heigl and Josh Duhamel) who become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in an accident (the film also co-stars Josh Lucas and Christina Hendricks).

Anyhow, yeah, we haven't paid attention and have been asleep at the wheel, but it's soundtrack arrives in stores tomorrow (October 5) and the tracklist has been kicking around for several weeks now so might as well post it. To be honest, it's not terrible.

The song that closes out the soundtrack, and presumably the film in its credits, is
Taken by Trees' cover of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine." The band is the solo project of Victoria Bergsman, former lead singer for the quite-good Swedish indie-pop band the Concretes. The soundtrack also features Amy Winehouse, The Black Keys, Ray LaMontagne, The Hot Rats (covering Elvis Costello) and songwriter of the moment Bruno Mars (he wrote Cee-Lo's awesome 2010 summer jam, "Fuck You"). But Roberta Flack's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" is one of our all time favorite songs, so we're actually terrified to see how they use it. The original is a killer song too so we're hoping this romantic comedy doesn't butcher it. Regardless, soundtrack tracklist below, plus some audio samples of the key cuts discussed.
