Films That Songs And Lyrics Created

Films That Songs And Lyrics Created

By:


Movie soundtracks are common, even if songs and music are not integral parts of the film. Music creates the mood, while songs and their lyrics reinforce this mood. Yet, there are times when the songs and the lyrics from a particular movie soundtrack can be considered as bigger than the film itself. These songs and their lyrics are more than just iconic. When one mentions a film, it is rare for anyone to associate a particular song to it. However, with these songs, the films are merely secondary. Here are some of the iconic songs that helped create and establish films into what they are now.

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion

Nothing can be bigger than Celine Dions My Heart Will Go On. The famous (and sometimes infamous) theme song from the film Titanic is perhaps the biggest song ever created for a film. And rightfully so, since Titanic is only the highest grossing film in the world (with a worldwide gross of over a billion dollarsa feat during its release, and an achievement no other film has duplicated). Many would argue that this song isnt exactly great art. With lyrics that go Near, far, wherever you are / I believe that the heart does go on / Once more you open the door / And you're here in my heart / And my heart will go on and on, it is obvious that this song does not aspire to be great art. However, while many refuse to consider this song as great music, they are willing to admit that My Heart Will Go On made Titanic the film that is.

Grow Old With You, from The Wedding Singer

Grow Old With You is an unexpected hit. The song was performed not by a professional singer but by an actorcomedian Adam Sandler, no less. The lyrics of the song was very simplistic, something that sounds like an Average Joes ode to love more than anything else. Yet with its simple lyrics and even more simpler music, Grow Old With You became an iconic song that remains in the consciousness of people even until today. The lyrics, while uncomplicated, are sweet and sentimental. The chorus of the lyrics goes: I'll miss you / Kiss you / Give you my coat when you are cold / Need you / Feed you / Even let ya hold the remote control. The lyrics sentiment may in fact be the songs hook. The movie, while not completely forgotten, is hardly considered part of mainstream pop culture, but the song persists as modern day classic.

I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing, by Aerosmith

Aerosmith is one of musics biggest acts; Independence Day was one of the biggest film of its time. Together, it created I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing, a song that survived the scrutiny of pop culture critics even if the movie is now often seen as an overrated drivel. I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing is a karaoke favorite, thanks to its accessible lyrics. In fact, it was sang in televisions biggest karaoke-type showAmerican Idol. In fact, the contestant who performed the song during its seventh season eventually won the competition.
