I watched this last weekend. I was all around the internet searching about “music and lyrics” and I stumbled upon this movie just as my search term, Music and Lyrics. Never have I heard about this movie.

Okay! Okay! Call me outdated! Ish…

So yeah. Music and Lyrics is a movie shown in 2007 and I’ve never seen it before. I had a good time watching it and I watched it twice last week itself. :p What? nice mah…

Starring Hugh Grant as Alex Fletcher and Drew Barrymore as Sophie Fisher, I like the whole plot of the movie. It is by watering Alex’s apartment plants Sophie got to know him. She interrupted when Alex was with Greg trying to compose a new song entitled Way Back Into Love for himself by the request of pop star Cora Corman.

Seeing how Sophie is good in her words, he asked her to be his lyricist.

I like this particular conversation between them:

Sophie Fisher: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.
Alex Fletcher: I so get that.
Sophie Fisher: But then, as you get to know the person, that’s the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It’s the combination of the two that makes it magic.

I feel that lyrics is more important than the melody. It is the lyrics that holds two individuals stronger. It is the lyrics that both individuals can sing till death do them apart.

Anyways… back to this movie…

I found out that Way Back Into Love is a great hit itself. Created by Adam Schlesinger, it is one beautiful piece of song which is also the theme song for this movie. I also like the surprise song Alex sang entitled “Don’t Write Me Off”. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Cut it short, you should just watch these two clips from the movie I found on YouTube.

Way Back Into Love, Demo Version

Don’t Write Me Off

Okay! I’m gonna write a song myself now!
And I will make sure the song melts you down when you read its lyrics… =)
One problem here… I don’t play instruments… :(

Oh wells… Wait for it… tee hee…
