BE

sung by: Neil Diamond

Lost

On a painted sky

Where the clouds are hung

For the poet’s eye

You may find him

If you may find him

There

On a distant shore

By the wings of dreams

Through an open door

You may know him

If you may

Be

As a page that aches for words

Which speaks on a theme that is timeless

And the one God will make for your day

Sing

As a song in search of a voice that is silent

And the sun God will make for your way

And we dance

To a whispered voice

Overheard by the soul

Undertook by the heart

And you may know it

If you may know it

While the sand

Would become the stone

Which begat the spark

Turned to living bone

Holy, holy

Sanctus, sanctus

Be

As a page that aches for words

Which speaks on a theme that is timeless

And the one God will make for your day

Sing

As a song in search of a voice that is silent

And the sun God will make for your way

AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU'RE YOU (THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S, 1945)

The sequel to the classic Going My Way, Crooner Bing Crosby returns as Father Chuck O'Malley at friendly rivalry with Sister Mary Benedict played by the eternal graceful, Ingrid Bergman. Crosby sang the classic Aren't You Glad You're You?

AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU’RE YOU
sung by: Bing Crosby

Every time you’re near a rose

Aren’t you glad you’ve got a nose

And if the dawn is fresh with dew

Aren’t you glad you’re you

When a meadowlark appears

Aren’t you glad you’ve got two ears

And if your heart is singin’ too

Aren’t you glad you’re you

You can see a summer sky

Or touch a friendly hand

Or taste an apple pie

Pardon the grammar, but ain’t life grand

And when you wake up each morn

Aren’t you glad that you were born

Think what you’ve got the whole day through

Aren’t you glad you’re you

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Every time you’re near a rose

Aren’t you glad you’ve got a nose

And if the dawn is fresh with dew

Aren’t you glad you’re you

When a meadowlark appears

Aren’t you glad you’ve got two ears

And if your heart is singin’ too

Aren’t you glad you’re you

You can see a summer sky

Or touch a friendly hand

Or taste an apple pie

Pardon the grammar, but ain’t life grand

And when you wake up each morn

Aren’t you glad that you were born

Think what you’ve got the whole day through

Aren’t you glad you’re you

ANOTHER SIDE OF ME (THE LEGACY, 1978)

One of those rare occasions when a horror/mystery has a very sweet movie theme. The Legacy's title track Another Side Of Me was sang by Kiki Dee and was heard during the opening credits. The film is about a cursed inheritance that befell the two couple among others.

ANOTHER SIDE OF ME
sung by: Kiki Dee

I’m going back

Across the sky

To places I have never been

But something seems to be

Slowly drawing me away

And that’s what come what may

I’m going back

To faces I have never seen

To feel the freedom

Of a sweet clear winter’s golden day

The sunset stained with gold

A love that never grows cold

While you’re the hand that I hold

I’ll face my years to be

And we may find

That as the story is told

We’ll watch the future unfold

Another side of me

I’m going back

Unless I’m sure

I need you more than ever now

And through the distance

We’ll see things in another light
If we just raise our sights

And looking back

We’ll understand it all somehow

Today, forever and beyond

Together we will see

Another side of me

ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU
sung by: Michael Cera & Ellen Page

You’re a part time lover and a full time friend

The monkey on you’re back is the latest trend

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

JUNO:

Here is the church and here is the steeple

We sure are cute for two ugly people

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

PAULIE:
We both have shiny happy fits of rage

You want more fans, I want more stage

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

JUNO:

You are always trying to keep it real

I’m in love with how you feel

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

PAULIE:

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train

I kiss you all starry eyed, my body’s swinging from side to side

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

JUNO:
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me

So why can’t you forgive me?

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

PAULIE & JUNO:
Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu

I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

There’s just no way, there’s no way
We’re part of the same place
We’re part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind

And time and time, we’ve had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I‘m not waking up tomorrow morning
and finding that there’s nobody there
And I mean there’s no way
No, no, no, no way I’m living without you

Ooh ooh love me, ooh ooh ooh love me
Love me

Love me

Love me
You’re gonna love me….

ALMOST UNREAL (SUPER MARIO BROS., 1993)

Famous pop duo in the '90s Roxette sang the power ballad of the live version of perhaps the most popular video game ever produced, Super Mario Bros. Though the film adaptation leaves a lot to be desired, the theme nevertheless, is a hit.

ALMOST UNREAL

sung by: Roxette

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest

Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best

Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets

I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me

The way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal

You give me that look, it’s almost unreal
It’s almost unreal

Hey, we can’t stop the rain, let’s find a place by the fire

Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems

You’ve been in my dreams all my life

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me

The way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal

You give me that look, it’s almost unreal
It’s almost unreal

It’s a crazy world out there (It’s a crazy)

Let’s hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Oh, I love when you do that hocus pocus to me

The way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal

You give me that look, it’s almost unreal

It’s almost unreal, so unreal

Yeah come on and do the hocus pocus to me

The way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal

You give me that look, it’s almost unreal
It’s almost unreal, yeah

It’s almost unreal
(Do the hocus pocus to me)
(Do the hocus pocus)

It’s almost unreal

(Do the hocus pocus to me)

(Do the hocus pocus)...

ALL TIME HIGH (OCTOPUSSY, 1983)

Roger Moore's starrer as the famous Agent 007 in Octopussy gets a chic movie theme via Rita Coolidge's wonderful rendition of All Time High. In the movie, Bond's on the mission to stop jewel smugglers and possible nuclear attacks on NATO. Pure Bond style.

ALL TIME HIGH

sung by: Rita Coolidge

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two

Had no intention to do the things we’ve done

Funny how it always goes with love, when you don’t look, you find

But then we’re two of a kind, we move as one

We’re an all time high

We’ll change all that’s gone before

Doing so much more than falling in love

On an all time high

We’ll take on the world and wait

So hold on tight, let the flight begin

I don’t want to waste a waking moment; I don’t want to sleep

I’m in so strong and so deep, and so are you

In my time I’ve said these words before, but now I realize

My heart was telling me lies, for you they’re true

We’re an all time high

We’ll change all that’s gone before

Doing so much more than falling in love

On an all time high

We’ll take on the world and wait

So hold on tight, let the flight begin

So hold on tight, let the flight begin

We’re an all time high

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE

sung by: Ginny Simms

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure

Something to make my heart beat the faster

What did I long for?

I never really knew

Finding your love, I’ve found my adventure

Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster

All that I want in all of this world is you

You are the promised kiss of springtime

That makes the lonely winter seem long

You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights a star

The dearest things I know are what you are

Someday my happy arms will hold you

And someday I’ll know that moment divine

When all the things you are, are mine

Someday my happy arms will hold you

And someday I’ll know that moment divine

When all the things you are, are mine

ALL STAR (MYSTERY MEN, 1999)

"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions."

- The Sphinx

90's group Smash Mouth sang the very upbeat theme All Star from the wacky 'superheroes' flick Mystery Men. About a group of superhero wannabes of the lower kind. The film is an underrated com flick.

ALL STAR

sung by: Smash Mouth

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what’s wrong with taking the back streets

You’ll never know if you don’t go

You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

Hey now you’re an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you’re a Rock Star get the show on, get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder

You’re bundled up now but wait ‘til you get older

But the meteor men beg to differ

Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin

The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire how about yours

That’s the way I like it and I never get bored

Hey now you’re an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you’re a Rock Star get the show on, get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Hey now you’re an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you’re a Rock Star get the show on, get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars -

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas

I need to get myself away from this place

I said yep what a concept

I could use a little fuel myself

And we could all use a little change

Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running

Didn’t make sense not to live for fun

Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see

So what’s wrong with taking the back streets

You’ll never know if you don’t go

You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

Hey now you’re an All Star get your game on, go play

Hey now you’re a Rock Star get the show on, get paid

And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold

Only shooting stars break the mold

ALL OF MY LIFE (THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES, 1996)

"When my date takes me home and kisses me good night, if I don't hear the philharmonic in my head, I dump him." - Rose Morgan

The 'other' love theme from The Mirror Has Two Faces. Lead star and film's director herself Barbara Streisand sang the lovely All Of My Life.

ALL OF MY LIFE

sung by: Barbara Streisand

I was alone

You were alone

Parallel lines that touched one another

Just feeling our way

Lost in the dark

Drawn to each other

So much to say, and so much to do

So much of you for me to discover

Like what makes you laugh

And what makes you cry

How does a friend become a lover, too?

I’ve waited all of my life to find

Someone who’d need my heart and read my mind

To light my days and warm my nights

Someone I know I could call

My someone for all my life

Looking at you, looking at me

Loving the look of love that I see there

I find when I look deep in your eyes

Reflections of me there

I’ve waited all of my life to find

Someone who’d need my heart and read my mind

To light my days and warm my nights

Now all at once in your arms

Everything’s new

All that I feel, tells me it’s true

All that I ask

Is all of my life... with you

ALL I ASK OF YOU (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, 2004)

(Raoul & Christine)

RAOUL:

No more talk of darkness

Forget these wide-eyed fears

I’m here, nothing can harm you

My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom

Let daylight dry your tears

I’m here, with you, beside you

To guard you and to guide you

CHRISTINE:

Say you love me every waking moment

Turn my head with talk of summertime

Say you need me with you now and always

Promise me that all you say is true

That’s all I ask of you

RAOUL:

Let me be your shelter

Let me be your light, you’re safe

No one will find you

Your fears are far behind you

CHRISTINE:

All I want is freedom

A world with no more night

And you always beside me

To hold me and to hide me

RAOUL:

Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime

Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me with you here, beside you

Anywhere you go, let me go too

Christine, that’s all I ask of you

CHRISTINE:

Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime

Say the word and I will follow you

BOTH:

Share each day with me
Each night, each morning

CHRISTINE:

Say you love me

RAOUL:

You know I do

BOTH:

Love me

That’s all I ask of you

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me

That’s all I ask of you

ALICE (ALICE IN WONDERLAND, 2010)

Director Tim Burton's update on the beloved children's tale is one not to be missed. Johnny Depp's wisecrack portrayal of the infamous Mad Hatter is worth the price of admission. And yes, Burton's signature set. Avril Lavigne sang the movie theme, simply called Alice.

ALICE

sung by: Avril Lavigne

Tripping out

Spinning around

I’m underground, I fell down

I fell down

I’m freaking out

So where am I now?

Upside down

And I can’t stop it now

It can’t stop me now

I, I’ll get by

I, I’ll survive

When the world’s crashing down

When I fall and hit the ground

I will turn myself and run

Don’t you try to stop it

I, I won’t cry

I found myself in Wonderland

Get back on my feet again

Is this real?

Is this pretend?

I’ll take a stand until the end

I, I’ll get by

I, I’ll survive

When the world’s crashing down

When I’m falling hit the ground

I will turn myself around

Don’t you try to stop me
I, I won’t cry

I, I’ll get by

I, I’ll survive

When the world’s crashing down

When I’m falling hit the ground

I will turn myself around

Don’t you try to stop me
I, and I won’t cry

ALIVE (ENOUGH, 2002)

"Self-defense is not murder." - Slim Hiller

Jennifer Lopez plays Slim, a battered wife who takes on her husband played by Bill Campbell. One can only take so much as the movie's title implies. Jennifer Lopez also provided the mellow theme from the movie, Alive. An apt title for someone who's willing to fight back.

ALIVE
sung by: Jennifer Lopez

Time, goes, slowly now in my life

Fear, no more of what I’m not sure

Searchin’ to feel your soul

The strength to stand alone

The power of not knowing
And letting go

I guess I’ve found my way

It’s simple when it’s right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me and be alive

Love, in and out on my, my heart

And though life can be strange

I can’t be afraid

Searchin’ to feel your soul

The strength to stand alone

The power of not knowing

And letting go

I guess I’ve found my way

It’s simple when it’s right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me and be alive

(INSTRUMENTAL)

I guess I’ve found my way

It’s simple when it’s right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

And happy just to be me and be alive

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

sung by: Jim Sturgess

Words are flying out like

Endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass

They slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy

Are drifting through my open mind

Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Images of broken light which

Dance before me like a million eyes

That call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a

Restless wind inside a letter box

They tumble blindly as

They make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world

"The kingdom of FAR FAR Away, Donkey?

ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE
sung by: Counting Crows

So she said what’s the problem baby

What’s the problem I don’t know

Well maybe I’m in love (love)

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can’t stop thinking ‘bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it ‘cause I can’t ignore it if it’s love (love)

Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don’t know nothing ‘bout love

Come on, come on

Turn a little faster

Come on, come on

The world will follow after

Come on, come on

'Cause everybody’s after love

So I said I’m a snowball running

Running down into the spring that’s coming all this love

Melting under blue skies

Belting out sunlight

Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender

To the strawberry ice cream

Never ever end of all this love

Well I didn’t mean to do it

But there’s no escaping your love

These lines of lightning

Mean we’re never alone,

Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on

Move a little closer

Come on, Come on

I want to hear you whisper

Come on, Come on

Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on

Jump a little higher

Come on, come on

If you feel a little lighter

Come on, come on

We were once

Upon a time in love

We’re accidentally in love

Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love

Accidentally

I’m in Love,

I’m in Love,

I’m in Love,

I’m in Love,

I’m in Love,

Accidentally

Come on, come on

Spin a little tighter

Come on, come on

And the world’s a little brighter

Come on, come on

Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I’m in love

On that special place, and

You, you were always gonna be my king

(I was always gonna be your king)

I was always gonna be your queen

You know that we can always be anything

Remember now

Whatever may come, whenever you’re lost

Remember there’ll always be a place for us

Castles we build, they crumble to dust

Don’t worry, there’ll always be a place for us

A place for us

When I close my eyes

I can hear you laugh, and

The night, it will fall

And the day will pass, but

You, never ever know what you may find

(Never ever know what you may find)

All you gotta do is open your mind

Just gotta leave the real world behind

Remember now

Whatever may come, whenever you’re lost

Remember there’ll always be a place for us

Castles we build, they crumble to dust

Don’t worry, there’ll always be a place for us

Oooh-woah-oh...

Oooh-woah-oh...

You, you were always gonna be my king

Whatever may come, whenever you’re lost

Remember there’ll always be a place for us

Castles we build, they crumble to dust

Don’t worry, there’ll always be a place for us

Hey hey, there’ll always be a place for us

Hey hey, there’ll always be a place for us

Oh when the veil of dreams has lifted

And the fairy tales have all been told

There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow

More precious than a pot of gold

MITCH:

In tales of ancient glory

Every knight and maiden fair
Shall be joined when the quest is over

And a kiss is the oath that they swear

TOGETHER:

And when the veil of dreams has lifted

And the fairy tales have all been told

There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow

More precious than a pot of gold

MICKEY:

My sweet, my dear, my darling
You’re so far away from me

Though an ocean of tears divides us

Let the bridge of our love span the sea

(INSTRUMENTAL)

TOGETHER:

There’s a kiss at the end of the rainbow

More precious than a pot of gold

A HERO COMES HOME (BEOWULF, 2007)

The latest version of the tale of the legendary Beowulf done pure CGI. Broadway actress Idina Menzel provided the end credits version of the song A Hero Comes Home which Robin Wright Penn sang also during the course of the movie.

A HERO COMES HOME

sung by: Idina Menzel

Out of the midst of history he’ll come again

Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation

Signs of a savior like fire on the water

It’s what we’ve prayed for, one of our own!

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always, a hero comes home

Deep in the heart of darkness
Sparks a dream of light

Surrounded by hopelessness he finds the will to fight

There’s no surrender always remember

It doesn’t end here, we’re not alone

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He goes where no one has gone

But always, a hero comes home

And he will come back on a crimson tide

Dead or alive

And even though we know the bridge has burned

He will return, he will return

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

He knows of places unknown

But always, a hero comes home

Some day he may be carved in stone

The hero comes home

He goes and comes back alone

But always, a hero comes home

Just wait though wide he may roam

Always, a hero comes home

A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES (CINDERELLA, 1950)

A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you’re fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches

Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true

9 TO 5

sung by: Dolly Parton

Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawnin’ and stretchin’ and try to come to life

Jump in the shower

And the blood starts pumpin’

Out on the streets

The traffic starts jumpin’

With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin’ 9 to 5

What a way to make a livin’

Barely getting’ by

It’s all takin’ and no givin’

They just use your mind

And they never give you credit

It’s enough to drive you

Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion

You would think that

I Would deserve a fair promotion

Want to move ahead

But the boss won’t seem to let me

I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

Mmmmm...

They let your dream

Just a’ watch ‘em shatter

You’re just a step

On the boss man’s ladder

But you got dream he’ll never take away

In the same boat

With a lot of your friends

Waitin’ for the day

Your ship’ll come in

And the tide’s gonna turn

An’ it’s all gonna roll you away

Workin’ 9 to 5

What a way to make a livin’

Barely getting’ by

It’s all takin’ and no givin’

They just use your mind

And you never get the credit

It’s enough to drive you

Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you

There’s a better life

And you think about it don’t you

It’s a rich man’s game

No matter what they call it

And you spend your life

Putting money in his wallet

Workin’ 9 to 5

What a way to make a livin’

Barely getting’ by

It’s all takin’ and no givin’

They just use you mind

And they never give you credit

It’s enough to drive you

Crazy if you love it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you

There’s a better life

And you think about it don’t you

It’s a rich man’s game

No matter what they call it

And you spend your life

Putting money in his wallet…

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY (GHOST RIDER, 2007)

Hit or miss, Ghost Rider (the movie) has a fiery soundtrack sang by the Australian rock band named Spiderbait. The film isn't actually bad, but not that great either. Still, enjoyable to watch whether or not you're a fan of Nicholas Cage.

(GHOST) RIDERS IN THE SKY
sung by: SpiderBait

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw

A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,

their shirts all soak with sweat

He’s riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain’t caught ‘em yet

’Cause they’ve got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Trying to catch the Devil’s herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky

Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi Ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky
