An incredible song of a film lights up the pictures perfectly.
When I was younger, the tone of Whitney in ‘The Bodyguard’ shook my soul. As I grew older, I tried everything to all the songs from the movie. I bought a DVD and managed to rip the original soundtrack from the DVD with DVD audio rippers.
If you love a song from a DVD, don’t hesitate, let’s extract the audio from the DVD. You can listen to it on your phone and tablet anytime and anywhere.
