80's movies and songs

[Echewta]

I woke up this morning and put on Over The Top to inspire me to have a good day. Not only did it remind me to look inside when I need something extra but it lifted up my spirits and I feel I can do anything today. Here is a song I wrote for you all that is inspired by the positive songs that go so unnoticed in movies like Rocky III and Iron Eagle.

Its been a tough life for you
Doing just what you do
But you know your better than that
Give your back a big pat

Look to the skies for your dreams
Nothing is ever as it seems
You know you can be the best
Just forget about the rest

You are a mountain!
You are an eagle!
Keep soarin' high and reach for the sky!!!!

You are a hero
You don't know zero
Keep soarin' high and reach till you die!!!!

*guitar solo*

*bridge*
Today is your day so give it all you got
You are alive and you are hot
Feeling your heart beat strong
Everything is right

and

nothing

is wrong!!!!!

You are a mountain!
You are an eagle!
Keep soarin' high and reach for the sky!!!!

You keep rockin *guitar riff*
Christopher Walken
Keep soarin' high and reach till you die!!!!

[K-nowledge]

Killer guitar solo.

Nice job. Could use a few more metaphors for strength, but overall, nicely done.


From Rocky IV:

We're not indestructible,
Baby better get that straight.
I think it's unbelieveable,
How you give into the hands of fate.
Some things are worth fighting for,
some feelings never die.
I'm not asking for another chance,
I just wanna know why.

(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
Giving in can't be wrong.

I don't wanna pasify you,
I don't wanna drag you down.
But I'm Feeling like a prisoner,
Like A stranger in a no-name town.
I See all the angry faces,
Afraid that could be you and me.
Talking about what might have been,
Thinking about what it used to be.

(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
Giving in can't be wrong.

Baby Baby we can shed this skin,
We can know how we feel inside.
Instead of going down an endless road,
Not knowing if we're dead or alive.
Some things are worth fighting for,
some feelings never die.
I'm not asking for another chance,
I just wanna know why.

(chorus)
There's no easy way out,
There's no shortcut home.
There's no easy way out,
givin in, givin in, can't be wrong.

Thank you.

I was hoping this would encourage other people to write their own 80s movie song. I know you all can do it. Just focus and nothing can go wrong.

*Beginning solo bass*

Day to day you’re out there
Giving your best shot
They told you you’d be something
But nothin’s all you got.

*Enter keyboards*

No one can tell you
what you gotta do
You have a life to live,
And it’s time you told ‘em too

Make a change
Show the world
You’re better than they thought
Make a change
Show yourself
You ain’t gonna stop.

No more wasting time
Struggling for all those tears
No more wasting life
Running from your fears

Make a change
Show the world
You’re better than they thought
Make a change
Show yourself
You ain’t gonna stop

*stylized rhythm guitars*

When those lemons that they give you
Just won’t make lemonade
And the sun keeps beating down
You can’t find the shade

Make a change (change!)
Show the world (right now!)
You’re better than they thought (oh no)
Make a change (you can!)
Show yourself (right now!)
You ain’t gonna stop (ain’t gonna stop)
You ain’t gonna stop (ain’t gonna)
You ain’t gonna stop (no no no)
You ain’t gonna stop (oh now)
You ain’t gonna stop (ain’t gonna stop

[mickill]

I got goosebumps towards the end of that one.

[Echewta]

(y)
Nuzz knows what its like to have nothing and then take it all!

[abcdefz]

You were born
Twisted and torn
With a cleft pallet
And you can't shout about it

You've been abandoned
And for good 'cause
Could be your attitude
Mr. Poopy Drawers

But nothing's gonna stop us now
Not rhyme or reason
Nothing's gonna stop us now
It's the time of the season
Nothing's gonna stop us now
No more people pleasin' for you, you, you
Oooh -- ooh -- ooh...
Nothing's gonna stop us now

[Nuzzolese]

These songs... it's like life writes them for us.

[b-grrrlie]

[fucktopgirl]

If You Believe In Heaven (Baby We Still Got A Chance)

(quiet piano)

Verse 1:

Sometimes it feels like life
is tremendously mean
Like it wants to force your head
into the jaws of a guillotine

(thunder, acoustic strumming)

Well baby, I got news for you
There's still lava in this volcano
It will scorch the land, from here to Japan
Because I will never say no

(Full blown orchestral blast of synths and monolithic rock giganticness)

Bridge:

It's the final moment to decide
whether you can flap your wings and start to glide
Like a peacock that didn't know that all along
he had the ability to flyyyyyyyyy

(Even more full blown orchestral rock bombast and earth-shattering drums/guitar)

Chorus:

Because if you believe in Heaven
baby, we still got a chance
I can tell that you have that fire
in your heart, your soul and hands

Baby it's gonna take more
than a tornado to say you can't
One thing we'll never do
is worry about that ambulance

(Quiet piano/ guitar strumming)

Verse 2:

Sometimes it feels like death
is the only option left
Yeah, well I ain't buying it
because you still have one more breath

They can take away your identity
but they can't take away your name
Some people think they're the same thing
but they're totally not the same

(Eruption of orchestral strings, timpanis, triangles, bassoons, flutes, cellos, a church choir, screeeching guitars and helicopter sound effects)

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

(wicked 15 minute guitar solo)

Verse 3:

Sometimes it feels like life and death
are two sides of the same coin
Decide if you're as hard as a rock
or tender as a loin

There's only mere seconds left
before the choice needs to be chosen
There's a voice calling out your name
but you can't move if you're frozen

(Crashing cymbals, synths, violins, thundering drums, 3 simultaneous guitar solos, Buddhist monks chanting, screaming, gunfire)

(Chorus)

(Fade)

[Qdrop]

that's it, i'm goin home and feathering my hair.

i wonder if my girl has any AquaNet?

[Nuzzolese]

"tender as a loin"

Oh Eureka. That's it right there. That was beautiful.
"They're totally not the same"


Good?! He's the best!

[abcdefz]

Baby it's gonna take more
than a tornado to say you can't








Very nicer. (y)

[mickill]

Thanks man.^

Nuzz, you inspire me to do things that I didn't think I was capable of doing well enough to allow the inspiration to motivate me to do those things I was inspired to do by what you encourage me with.

[abcdefz]

I could be a man in motion
All I need is a set of wheels

[buddylee]

they play 80's movies in jail?

[Nuzzolese]

Thanks man.^

Nuzz, you inspire me to do things that I didn't think I was capable of doing well enough to allow the inspiration to motivate me to do those things I was inspired to do by what you encourage me with.

This makes it all worth it.

[Qdrop]

Sometimes the world looks perfect,
Nothing to rearrange.
Sometimes you get a feeling
Like you need some kind of change.
No matter what the odds are this time,
Nothing's going to stand in my way.
This flame in my heart,
And a long lost friend
Gives every dark street a light at the end.

Standing tall, on the wings of my dream.
Rise and fall, on the wings of my dream.
The rain and thunder
The wind and haze
I'm bound for better days.
It's my life and my dream,

Nothing's going to stop me now.

*cue harmonica*

(thank you, Perfect Strangers...)

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

Burning Heart
Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone
CHORUS
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning heart
In the warrious code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus twice)
In the burning heart
