Julee Cruise - Falling

"Falling" is a song by the American dream pop singer Julee Cruise. It is the lead single and second track from her debut studio album, Floating into the Night (1989).

Featuring music composed by Angelo Badalamenti and lyrics written by David Lynch, an instrumental version of "Falling" was used as the theme song for the ABC television series Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks gained a cult following after its original broadcast in April 1990 and "Falling" subsequently charted in twelve countries worldwide—including peaking at number 1 on the Australian Singles Chart. 

The instrumental version of the song, performed by Badalamenti, won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 32nd Grammy Awards.

Cruise released a new version of the song as a hidden track on her 2002 album The Art of Being a Girl.

In 2010, Pitchfork Media ranked "Falling" at number 146 on its "Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s."

The lyrics:

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Then I saw your face

Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue

The clouds come and go

Yet something is different

Are we falling in love?

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Don't let yourself be hurt this time

Then your kiss so soft

Then your touch so warm

The stars still shine bright

The mountains still high

Yet something is different

Are we falling in love?

Falling

Falling

Are we falling in love?

Falling

Falling

Are we falling in love?

Video hit Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon - Last Mile Home

Kings of Leon have stripped down "Last Mile Home," a song originally from the deluxe version of their latest album, Mechanical Bull, but written for the soundtrack of the new film August: Osage County. The lilting, soulful acoustic rendition of the tune will be found on the movie soundtrack when it is released on January 7th.

Where Does Kings of Leon's 'Supersoaker' Rank on Our 100 Best Songs of 2013 List?

"It was a story we could all easily relate to," Caleb Followill, Kings of Leon's lead singer and songwriter tells Rolling Stone of the film. "The dynamic between family is always something that you look forward to, and dread at the same time. Not only are we family, but we all have very strong Oklahoma ties, so we totally relate to that 'frontier grit.'"

Writing for the movie was the first time the rockers tackled a project that wasn't specifically related to one of their albums. "It was important for us to create a song to complement such a beautiful film," Followill says. "We submitted the song, then went out on the road, then had to find a few days to record between tours. It was a tight squeeze but we made it happen."

The lyrics:

Take it back, I never meant it

Never thought it would come to pass

Baby know it's not forgotten baby

Know that this is gonna last

By and large I had it coming

I recall the tremble in your eyes

I just want to make it better

I just want to make it right

Driven on the last mile home, driven on the last mile home

Things are always better, when were all together

I'm driving on the last mile home

Tell me that the bar is drinking,

And the lights are swinging in the smoke

I'm a fool for conversation,

And I've got nowhere to go

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home

Things are always better, when were all together

I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the last mile home

Things are always better when were all together

I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Driven on the last mile home

Dreaming on the last mile home

Things are always better, when were all together

I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home

Things are always better, when were all together

I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Baby I'm the one who's broken

Maybe I'm the breaker of the hearts

Been so lone since we've spoken

It's been lonely baby its been hard

Video hit Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman

Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman - Come What May

Come What May is a phrase that originates from Shakespeare's Macbeth and means: let whatever events crop up come to pass.

It is the romantic love theme from Baz Luhrmann's 2001 film Moulin Rouge!

It is sung by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman in their respective roles as Christian and Satine.

The heartfelt and pure romantic love song on the soundtrack album and the film differ slightly.

The lyrics "Every day I love you more and more" and "Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing / Telling me to give you everything" can be heard on the soundtrack version.

In the movie, they are replaced by a musical interlude the first time, and, the second time, Satine sings instead of the latter part: "come back to me and forgive everything."

The single version can be found on the original soundtrack, while the original film version can be found on the follow-up soundtrack.

When the forbidden strong and close romantic relationship between Christian and Satine has been discovered, Christian pens this romance song and includes it in the musical he is currently writing. Each time either of them sings this song, they can secretly declare their equally deep and true romantic love for each other.

This plays an important role later in the film, as lies and jealousy make it difficult for the truth to stand out.

Awards

"Come What May" was nominated for a 2002 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song - Motion Picture, where it lost to Sting's "Until" from Kate and Leopold.

However, it was ineligible for a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Song because it was originally written with another film in mind: Luhrmann's previous project William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.

The song was ranked on the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs at number 85.

The lyrics:

Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

Want to vanish inside your kiss

Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change, winter to spring

But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide

But I love you, I love you

Until the end of time

(Until the end of time)

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may

I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting - All For Love

All for Love is a romantic love rock song written by Bryan Adams, Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Michael Kamen for the soundtrack The Three Musketeers: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, performed by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.

The song was released as a CD single in the United States on November 16, 1993.

It was a worldwide hit, reaching number one across Europe and in North America.

The title was inspired by the Musketeers' motto: "All for one, and one for all".

The lyrics:

When it's love you give

I'll be your man of good faith

When it's love you live

I'll make a stand I won't break

I'll be the rock you can lean on

Be there when you're old

To have and to hold

When there's love inside

I swear I'll always be strong

And there's a reason why

I'll prove to you we belong

I'll be the wall that protects you

From the wind and the rain

From the hurt and the pain

Let's make it all for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

When there's someone that you know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make

I'll be the fire in your night

Then it's love you take

I will defend I will fight

I'll be there when you need me

When honor's at stake

This vow I will make

That it's all for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

When there's someone that you know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest

'Cause we could stand up to the test

We got everything and more than we had planned

More than the rivers that run inland

We got it all in our hands

Now it's all for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

When there's someone that you know

Then just let your feelings show

When there's someone that you want

When there's someone that you need

Let's make it all all for one

And all for love

Video hit Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes

Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - Up where we belong (live, 2013)

Up Where We Belong is a song written by Jack Nitzsche, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Will Jennings.

It was recorded by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes for the 1982 film An Officer and a Gentleman.

Richard Gere balked at shooting the ending of the film, in which Zack arrives at Paula's factory wearing his naval dress whites and carries her off the factory floor; he thought that wouldn't work because it was too sentimental. Director Taylor Hackford agreed with Gere until, during a rehearsal, the extras playing the workers began to cheer and cry. When Gere saw the scene later, with the music added ("Up Where We Belong"), he said it gave him chills. Gere is now convinced Hackford made the right decision.

Producer Don Simpson unsuccessfully demanded "Up Where We Belong" be cut from An Officer and a Gentleman, saying, "The song is no good. It isn't a hit."

"Up Where We Belong" won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1983.

It also won the BAFTA Film Awards for Best Original Song in 1984.

Cocker and Warnes also won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1983 for their rendition of this song.

The lyrics:

Who knows what tomorrow brings

In a world few hearts survive?

All I know is the way I feel

When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long

There are mountains in our way

But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong

Where the eagles cry

On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong

Far from the world below

Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to, 'used to be'

Live their lives looking behind

All we have is here and now

All our life out there to find

The road is long

There are mountains in our way

But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong

Where the eagles cry

On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong

Far from the world we know

Where the clear wind blows

Time goes by, no time to cry

Life's you and I, a life today

Love lift us up where we belong

Where the eagles cry

On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong

Far from the world we know

Where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong

Where the eagles cry

On a mountain high

Love lift us up where we belong

Video hit Des`Ree

Des`Ree - Kissing You (Romeo & Juliet soundtrack)

Kissing You (or "I'm Kissing You") is a song by British singer Des'ree. It was written by the singer with Timothy Atack for Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo and Juliet.

The song was included on the film's soundtrack album and Des'ree's third studio album, Supernatural (1998).

The song was well received by critics for its emotional melody and toned-down production. Released as a single on 18 June 1997, it appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart. A music video accompanied the single, which included scenes from Romeo + Juliet.

"Kissing You" has been covered by Beyoncé Knowles (2007), Taylor Dayne (2008) and Stan Walker (2010). Knowles filmed a music video for her rendition, which she retitled "Still in Love (Kissing You)". The change of title and music video went against copyright terms, and thus Des'ree's publishers filed a lawsuit against Knowles and her representatives. Infringing albums were recalled, and both parties agreed that the case be dismissed with prejudice.

"Kissing You" is featured during Romeo + Juliet, directed by Baz Luhrmann, when Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) first meet at a ball at the Capulets' mansion; Des'ree also appears in the scene performing the song.

"Kissing You" was also sold as the B-side to "Life" (1998) in the UK.

The musical interlude in the middle of "Kissing You" was used to promote the UEFA Euro 2004.

The music video for "Kissing You" features scenes of Romeo + Juliet, mainly those when Romeo and Juliet first meet at the Capulets' ball. Interspersed are clips of Des'ree singing the song in an empty building, with water on the floor. Towards the end of the video, some of the final scenes of the film are displayed, and the building that Des'ree is in is illuminated through the windows. The video was included on the film's special edition DVD, released in 2002.

The lyrics:

Pride can stand a thousand trials,

the strong will never fall

But watching stars without you,

my soul cried.

Heaving heart is full of pain,

oh, oh, the aching.

'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.

I'm kissing you, oh.

Touch me deep, pure and true,

gift to me forever

'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.

I'm kissing you, oh.

Where are you now?

Where are you now?

'Cause I'm kissing you.

I'm kissing you, oh.

Urge Overkill -Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon

Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon is a song written by Neil Diamond, whose recording of it on Bang Records reached #10 on the U.S. pop singles chart in 1967.

The song enjoyed a second life when it appeared on the 1994 Pulp Fiction soundtrack, performed by rock band Urge Overkill. Other versions have been recorded by Cliff Richard (1968), Gary Puckett and the Union Gap (1969), the Biddu Orchestra (1978), and 16 Volt (1998).

In 1992, Urge Overkill recorded their own version of the song for the EP Stull.

Quentin Tarantino came across it on the EP in a Dutch record store and liked it so much that he worked it into a scene in his film Pulp Fiction in 1994. This cover achieved success in several European countries, peaking at #10 in France.

The lyrics:

Love you so much, can't count all the ways

I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is

"He's not your kind"

They never get tired of puttin' me down

And I never know when I come around

What I'm gonna find

Don't let them make up your mind

Don't you know

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Please come take my hand

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Soon you'll need a man

I've been misunderstood for all of my life

But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife

"The boy's no good"

Well, I finally found what I've been looking for

But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure

Sure they would

Baby, I've done all I could

It's up to you

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Please come take my hand

Girl, you'll be a woman soon

Soon you'll need a man
