Places in the Heart

I've been trying to locate the movie soundtrack from the 1984 movie - Places in the Heart. The composer was Howard Shore. I loved the O Brother Where Art Thou Movie and its soundtrack and the soundtrack reminded me of the movie, Places in the Heart with Sally Field, Danny Glover and John Malkovich. If anyone has any information on how I can locate a copy, please let me know. Thank you

to bendgirl.....it's called la Golondrina. Don't know the artist. It's the Waltz they played where Sally's son asked her to dance.
see below:

Another waltz that is not frequently performed at contests but is yet popular at dance halls and by western swing fiddlers is La Golondrina, (the Swallow, like bird). It has a rather convoluted and protracted chord structure that can intimidate the average accompanist and was composed in 1883 by Narcisco Serradell (lyrics were added to the tune later by L. Wolfe Gilbert). Texas fiddlers learned of the tune through the early recordings of Milton Brown, Cliff Bruner, and Bob Wills. It was also featured in a late 1940s Gene Autry movie and more, recently in a movie, "Places in the Heart" that featured Sally Fields and was performed by Cliff Bruner. (Some Texas fiddling does get around.)

The ACTUAL name of the song that you're thinking of from "Places in the Heart" is "Mexicali Rose". Why they changed the title of it in the movie to "A Golden Dream" is beyond me.

I did a lot of hunting for the same song before I found the actual title of it.

Wrong! The name of the song is La Golondrina (The Swallow) from a Hispanic composer Cayetano Veloso.
Get the diferent versions of the song for free from FrostWire, Etc.
Even Nat King Cole left a beautiful version, between others, of the song.
Good Luck
