• Music & Lyrics

    It’s true what they say. Music & Lyrics does get you all humming from the time you get up from your seat and leave the theater — and until you’ve reached your house and gotten ready for bed, which is practically the rest of the night. Haha. The LSS (and LDS?) goes on for hours that watching the videos in youtube over and over again seems like the next natural thing to do. This movie is definitely one of the best! Hats off to Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant.

    Fortunately, Music & Lyrics is still showing in theaters last week. I really thought I missed it! We went to see it last night, and it’s needless to say that until today these two catchy, albeit lovely, songs are still reverberating in my head. I have to admit though that somewhere in the first few scenes of the movie I was beginning to feel disappointed, thinking “a Drew Barrymore movie could get better than this!” and “Hugh Grant looks really old with those wrinkles!” but the movie did manage to become more exciting. :D Hugh Grant, though wrinkly and fidgety in the movie, is surprisingly good with the piano and guitars (just as he did in About A Boy). He sings really well too, and he’s very funny. He reminds me of Adam Sandler, being the charming, witty, and musically-inclined love interest of Drew Barrymore, in The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates. :)

    Haley Bennett, the girl who played “Cora”, is really talented. She can actually be the next Britney Spears, if they go on promoting her. Not that I think Britney is any good (anymore) or even worth comparing to.

    I’ve only got great things to say about Drew Barrymore. So, ’nuff said. :P

    Alex Fletcher: [singing] “Sleeping with a clown above my bed…”
    Alex Fletcher: [spoken] “Clown is not right.”
    Sophie Fisher: “That’s cloud. Why would you put a clown in your bed?”
    Alex Fletcher: “It would not be the first time.”

    Alex Fletcher: “Way Back Into Love, take one.”
    Sophie Fisher: “I-uh-I’m getting really nervous.”
    Alex Fletcher: “You’ll be fine, just use your normal, nice voice that I’ve heard… so much over the last three days.”
    Sophie Fisher: “It’s like, ugh, my throat’s closing up. It’s, like, anaphylactic.”
    [cough]
    Alex Fletcher: “It’s fine, it’s just a three minute song.

    Alex Fletcher: “The best time I’ve had in the last fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you.”
    Sophie Fisher: “That’s wonderfully sensitive… especially from a man who wears such tight pants.”
    Alex Fletcher: “It forces all the blood to my heart.”

    I admit, I’m a sucker for “feel-good” songs so, yeah, I loved this song the first time I heard it. Enjoy! :)

    Way Back Into Love (Music and Lyrics)
    - Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett

    I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
    I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
    I’ve been lonely for so long
    Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

    I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
    Just in case I ever need em again someday
    I’ve been setting aside time
    To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

    All I want to do is find a way back into love
    I can’t make it through without a way back into love
    Oh oh oh

    I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
    I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
    I know that it’s out there
    There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

    I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
    Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
    I could use some direction
    And I’m open to your suggestions

    All I want to do is find a way back into love
    I can’t make it through without a way back into love
    And if I open my heart again
    I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end

    There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
    Or if anybody feels the way I feel
    I need inspiration
    Not just another negotiation

    All I want to do is find a way back into love
    I can’t make it through without a way back into love

    And if I open my heart to you
    I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
    And if you help me to start again
    You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

    abah…akala ko sobrang daming spoilers na naman dito e! haha. :P naunahan mo ako manood nito ah! haha :)

  2. Ricky says:

    Hey thanks for the comment on my site. I want to see Music & Lyrics but the tickets here at the movies are too much. I dont feel like paying around $10 to see a movie, so I just wait til they come out on DVD. Drew Barrymore is an awesome actress, shes funny as well. I love her recent movies than her older movies though.

  3. Regnard says:

    Hi Joni!

    I loved this movie and the soundtrack! :)

    I also heard the theme on the radio the other day. (89.9 I think)

  4. liz says:

    ahaha, me too! meron na rin nga ako ng mp3 nung version nilang dalawa!

  5. shavei7 says:

    wo0t! naaddict na din!!!! hehehehhe. linteks na kanta. nag tratrabaho ako– super deep in thought pa naman trying to figure out a solution— bigla ba naman pumasok ito sa ulo ko. ayun..nawala na yung ‘work-thoughts’ ko. hehe (wow. tagalog me! heehee)

  6. shavei7 says:

    hey..tried the freemp3 here and when i tried to copy/paste the code, mine wouldn’t load. any ideas??

  7. Muse Dog says:

    The movie is a fun romp of a romantic comedy and though this song would never make the Billboard Hot 100 all on its own, it’s nevertheless a fun, old fashioned love song in new packaging.

  8. Shari says:

    I wish I wasn’t the only one who has not watched the movie yet. Spoiler ka! Haha!

  9. Darwin says:

    Someone also told me about the movie and the song… I haven’t heard it though but it seems to be ‘intriguing’ because it’s buzz.

  10. riz says:

    you haven’t blogged about the new theme yet but gaaahh i haaate youuu! :) you’re getting better and better ha. :) *clap,clap* ganda joni. (and i see you’re hitting two birds with one stone. ehem. epektib linkbuilding, definitely. :P)

    RICKY: Hi, thanks too for the comment! Yeah, Drew is just awesome. I loved her in Riding in Cars With Boys, Never Been Kissed and Ever After. :)

    REGNARD: The OST is definitely the highlight of this movie! :wink:

    LIZ: Ay onga no, madownload nga din ung version na yun. haha :D

    SHAVEI7: Oo, as in! In my case, the song doesn’t just pop in my head when i’m at work, because it already IS in my head. I listen to it over and over when I’m working (seriously!). Looks like I’ll be getting sick of this song much sooner than everyone. Nooo! :yell:

    DARWIN: Dali na, nood na ng The Buzz! ay, Music & Lyrics pala. hekhek! :P

    RIZ: Oo, di ko pa feel eh. Maya siguro, hehe. Sana epektib diba? lol

    “The LSS (and LDS? cute ) goes on for hours”

    I DEFINITELY know someone na ganito :P

  14. fruityoaty says:

    Oh, I loved that movie. It was so sweet and funny. Sometimes, that’s all I want from a movie – just a relaxing flick to watch with someone or friends. No hyper action “boom boom explode”.

  15. pomski says:

    Joni, nice design! patok! hmm… i’m really thinking of getting my own wordpress blog na nga rin hehehe! :yummy:

  16. Joni says:

    MR. KUPY: Si Rhiza ba yang tinutukoy mo? LOL. :cute:

    FRUITYOATY: What a cute name! I loved it too. Definitely the feel-good movie I’d recommend. :)

    POMSKI: Uu, dali, mag-wordpress na. :grin:

  24. Rim says:

  27. pen says:

    Cool post! I would like to see this movie. I almost forgot about it ’til now I’ve read your post. I heard Hugh Grant mention it when he appeared in Top Gear early this year.

    But since the theaters here are slow (out of sync with Hollywood, I think somewhere they’re still showing E.T.) and expensive, I’d probably end up watching this on DVD.

  28. naej june says:
