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
