sung by: Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton

Adam Duritz:

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Vanessa Carlton:

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum

And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Vanessa:

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT

I don't care about spots on my apples

Leave me the birds and the bees

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Vanessa:

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Well, don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey

Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

YOURS FOREVER (A PERFECT STORM, 2000)

“I always find the fish. Always!” – Captain Billy Tyne

Based on true events that was made into a bestseller. A Perfect Storm is the story of six fishermen from Gloucester, Massachusetts on sail the sword-fishing boat named Andrea Gail. Their seemingly safe fishing turns deadly when they encounter a freak storm. Suspenseful and dramatic at the same time, John Mellencamp sung the melodic Yours Forever at the end of the movie.


YOURS FOREVER
sung by: John Mellencamp

Here we are in the grays of winter

Here we are just me and you

Hold my hand

Let's face tomorrow

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

This precious time

We've only borrowed

The autumn winds have blown on through

A quiet thought will tell our story

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

So here's some wings

They're yours forever

And here's some dreams that will come true

Take those tears to wash your sorrow

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

CHANCES (THE BLIND SIDE, 2009)

“You threaten my son, you threaten me.” – Leigh Anne Touhy

Winning the best actress in the leading role for the movie The Blind Side in this year’s Oscars, Sandra Bullock plays the remarkable Leigh Anne Touhy who takes home, along with the rest of her family, an unwanted African-American young man to their home. Five For Fighting sung Chances, a very apt theme heard at the end of the movie when the real Michael Oher appears.


CHANCES
sung by: Five For Fighting

Chances are when said and done

Who'll be the lucky ones

Who make it all the way

Though you say I could be your answer

Nothing lasts forever

No matter how it feels today

Chances are we'll find a new equation

Chances roll away from me

Chances are all they hope to be

Don't get me wrong, I'd never say never

'Cause though Love can't change the weather

No act of God could pull me away from you

I'm just a realistic man

A bottle filled with shells and sand

Afraid to look beyond what I could lose

When it comes to you

And though I'd see us through

Chances are we'll find two destinations

Chances roll away from me

Still chances are more than expectations

But possibilities over me

8 to 5 we're 2 to 1

Lay your money on the sun

Until you crash what have you done

Is there a better bet than love

What you are is what you bring

You gotta cry before you sing

Chances

Chances lost are hopes torn out pages

And maybe this time

Chances are we'll be the combination

Chances come and carry me

Chances are waiting to be taken

And I can see

Chances are the fascination

Chances won't escape from me

Chances are only what we make them

And all I need...

SOMETHIN’ STUPID (BIRTHDAY GIRL, 2001)

“Before They Share A Future, They Have To Survive Her Past.”

– tagline

Corruption rears its ugly head in the form of 'mail-order bride' technique. John (Ben Chaplin) in an act of desperation ordered a mail-order bride from Russia. It turns out to be Nadia (Nicole Kidman), too perfect to be his bride. But John is in for a surprise, Nadia isn’t what she seems to be. Nicole Kidman in a duet with Robbie Williams rendered their own version of the popular classic tune Somethin' Stupid.


SOMETHIN’ STUPID
sung by: Nicole Kidman & Robbie Williams

I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes

You still despise the same old lines

You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you

For me it's true

And never seemed so right before

I practice everyday

To find some clever lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait

Until the evening gets late

And I'm alone with you

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like "I love you"

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like "I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"

"I love you"
