NEVER SAY NEVER (TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, 2009)

The much ballyhooed series of the famous transforming robots by Michael Bay somehow gives a more decent selections when it comes to soundtrack. The Fray's contribution to the second installment with added title Revenge Of The Fallen is memorable to say the least in the film. The author has very little preferences in today's music let alone songs from today's movies. And this song is just one of the few 'modern' tunes to come up palatable.

NEVER SAY NEVER

sung by: The Fray

Some things we don’t talk about

Rather do without

And just hold the smile

Falling in and out of love

Ashamed and proud of

Together all the while

You can never say never

While we don’t know when

But time and time again

Younger now than we were before

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Picture, you’re the queen of everything

As far as the eye can see

Under your command

I will be your guardian

When all is crumbling

To steady your hand

You can never say never

While we don’t know when

Time, time, time again

Younger now than we were before

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

We’re pulling apart and coming together again and again

We’re growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together

Together again, ooohh

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Oh, don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go

NEW DIVIDE (TRANSFORMERS, 2007)

'80s very popular toy line Transformers and its t.v. cartoon series gets an upgrade in the new millienium via the 2007 motion picture. Produced by no less than Steven Spielberg himself, the movie presented the all-time war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Linkin Park sang the ultra-cool main theme, New Divide.

NEW DIVIDE

sung by: Linkin Park

I remembered black skies

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash

As time began to blur

Like a startling sign

That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect this space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

There was nothing inside

The memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide

The ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in

Between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Across this new divide

In every loss in every lie

In every truth that you deny

And each regret and each goodbye

Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve

So give me reason

To prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross

The distance in your eyes

Give me reason

To fill this hole

Connect this space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

Across this new divide

IN THE CITY (THE WARRIORS, 1979)

The Warriors is the story of gangs in the seedy part of New York. American singer Joe Walsh sang the aptly theme titled In The City, where the gang a.k.a. The Warriors rule. The song were later recorded by Eagles.

IN THE CITY

sung by: Joe Walsh

Somewhere out on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

I know there must be somethin’ better

But there’s nowhere else in sight

It’s survival in the city

When you live from day to day

City streets don’t have much pity

When you’re down, that’s where you’ll stay

In the city, oh, oh

In the city, oh, oh

I was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows and life ain’t very pretty

No one’s there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon

Far away from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin’ better

And I can’t stay another night

In the city, oh, oh

In the city, oh, oh
In the city, oh, oh…

HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME, KILL ME (BATMAN FOREVER, 1995)

In the third installment of Batman series introduced by Tim Burton, Batman Forever has in the film's soundtrack the band U2 rendered the theme titled Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. The third part now has Val Kilmer for the titular role with Jim Carrey as The Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face on board as caped crusader's arch villains.

HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME, KILL ME

sung by: U2

You don’t know how you took it

You just know what you got

Oh Lordy you’ve been stealing

From the thieves and you got caught

In the headlights

Of a stretch car

You’re a star

Dressing like your sister

Living like a tart

They don’t know what you’re doing

Babe, it must be art

You’re a headache

In a suitcase

You’re a star

Oh no, don’t be shy

You don’t have to go blind

Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don’t know how you got here

You just know you want out

Believing in yourself

Almost as much as you doubt

You’re a big smash

You wear it like a rash

Star

Oh no, don’t be shy

There’s a crowd to cry

Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They want you to be Jesus

They’ll go down on one knee

But they’ll want their money back

If you’re alive at thirty-three

And you’re turning tricks

With your crucifix

You’re a star

(Oh child)

Of course you’re not shy

You don’t have to deny love

Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

HELENA (HOUSE OF WAX, 2005)

One of the countless horror remakes was shown in 2005 via the flick, House Of Wax. The movie was based on Vincent Price's original classic which in turn was based in the 1933 version Mystery Of The Wax Museum. The latest version merits some really creepy and gory scenes (Paris Hilton gets to have the most fun) but still cannot hold a candle for the Vincent Price version. My Chemical Romance provided their song in the film's soundtrack, Helena.

HELENA
sung by: My Chemical Romance


Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what’s the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I’ve been holding on tonight

What’s the worst thing I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what’s the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I’ve been holding on tonight

What’s the worst thing I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We’ll meet again
When both our cars collide?

What’s the worst thing I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
