Men What Happened?

I don’t know what happened but men today…they are just not like they used to be.

What happened to classy men who treated women respectfully. Who had honor and morals? Who dressed right?

Seriously:

Come on guys, stay classy.

Love Will Find a Way

So here we are, another step on the “Getting Over a Heartbreak” series. Next song:

23) Love Will Find a Way by Pablo Cruise

So this song was one I grew up listening to. And no I was not born in the ’60s or ’70s. My parents grew up in the ’60s and ’70s and were really into the music (of course). They had a bunch of records and my dad continuously bought CDs with all the ’70s hits that he grew up with. My love for music started with ’70s music and quickly grew foward to the ’80s and back to the ’50s. For me ’70s music will always hold a special place in my heart. In fact it makes complete sense to me that I scored that decade:

Go here to find out which one you are

Anyways, back to the song. So this was written in the 1970s, as I’m sure you guessed from the beginning of the post. It was a great pop/rock song that is really upbeat and catchy. It’s about how at first you might feel like:

And that you will never find anyone again who you will care about and will care for you. But, you do not need to give up. Love will find a way. Just keep your heart open.

Someone, someone’s done you wrong
You thought that your love was strong
Now you’re feelin’ like such a fool
You’re thinkin’ maybe if you said goodbye
You’ll understand the reason why
The love you had felt so cruel, um-hm

Oh, but it’s all right once you get past the pain
You’ll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
‘Cause love will find a way

Sometimes we all feel a need to change
Our love we have to rearrange
And move on to something new, yes you do
Your dreams feel like they’re fallin’ apart
You need to find a brand new start
But you’re almost afraid to be true to yourself

Oh, but it’s all right once you get past the pain
You’ll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
‘Cause love will find a way
Love will find a way, love will find a way

So now don’t, don’t be afraid of yourself
Just move on to something else
And let your love shine through again

Yes, ’cause it’s all right once you get past the pain
You’ll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
‘Cause love will find a way

Oh, but it’s all right once you get past the pain
You’ll learn to find your love again
So keep your heart open
‘Cause love will find a way

Don’t worry, you still have a chance of finding true love

And remember, never stop allowing yourself to love. Just because someone broke your heart, doesn’t mean that you should close yourself off from other people.:

Because you will find someone:

I’m Sorry Sounds Better in a Song: Music and Lyrics (2007)

Romantic Moment #11

Music and Lyrics (2007)

I love this movie! First it has Hugh Grant, second Drew Barrymore, and thirdly (my favorite part) one of the best faux ’80s song/videos ever!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!

In Music and Lyrics, Hugh Grant is Alex, a washed up pop star hitting up the reunion circuit/fairs to make money but on the lookout for a way to really break back into the music world.

Sophie, Drew Barrymore, becomes his plant waterer and ends up collaborating with him on the song “Way Back into Love”, for pop star Cora Corman.

The two spend a lot of time sharing their inner feelings and old baggage, ultimately falling in love. However in every romantic film that feeling can’t last forever.

It all comes to a head when Cora likes the song, but wants to add her own vibe to it. Sophie doesn’t want Cora to screw up her song and intends to talk her out of it; but Alex keeps her from doing so. He hates the new version as much as Sophie does, but he doesn’t want to lose Cora’s good graces or his chance at hitting the big time. A fight ensues, and the two break up. Alex later tries to make it up to Sophie, but nothing works. She is determined to move to Florida to manage her sister’s store.

Will they get back together, or is it over?

Most Romantic Moment: I Wrote You a “I’m Sorry” Song

It’s the night of the concert and  Cora & Alex are going to sing Sophie & Alex’s song. Sophie wasn’t going to go, but is convinced by her sister and niece.

Okay, here comes the big moment! At the concert, Sophie and her sister eagerly await to hear Sophie’s song. But when a new song is announced, they only credit Alex Fletcher as being the writer. Sophie is angry and hurt, gets up to leave, walking out angry and hurt. But on her way out she realizes that this is a different song than the one she helped write.

HE WROTE HER A SONG! He wrote it to say he was SORRY!

It’s so romantic. Almost every girl wants to have a song made just for her. And the fact that he was willing to admit his mistakes in front of everyone; what a man. A real man like that is hard to find.

So romantic!

But that’s not all. As Sophie rushes backstage to thank him and reunite, we learn that he also convinced Cora to sing the song in it’s original format.

Cora Corman: I want you to hear my new single. ‘Way Back Into Love,’ music and lyrics by Sophie Fisher and Alex Fletcher.
Sophie Fisher: What happened to steamy and sticky?
Alex Fletcher: I explained to Cora that it violated the very core of the lyric…and corrupted the purity of the song. When that didn’t work, I told her it would help me win you back. And that did it. Turns out that although she thought the Dalai Lama was, incredibly, a llama…she is, in fact, quite the romantic.

In the end the two are back together, each completing the other. (Figuratively and literally. He is the Music and She the Lyrics.)

So romantic
