Musical Moments 1 – Let’s Go To The Movies

The first in the Musical Moments feature which I mentioned a little while ago now, that Monday is Musical Moments day! I thought the best way to start this all off ties in very well with the name of this blog. The “Let’s Go To The Movies” scene from Annie. It really is a brilliant scene from the film, which see’s little Annie visit the cinema for the first time and good musical fashion they all make a big song and dance out of it!

So let’s go to the movies . . .

Performed by Aileen Quinn, Ann Reinking, & Albert Finney

Musical Moments

Each Monday (hopefully) a song or part from a movie musical will be blogged about. This may vary from a scene, a musical number, facts about the musical as a whole or just general chat about the musical. Occasionally comparisons maybe made between the stage show and movie version.

If you have read my blog for any length of time this will all probably come as no surprise to you and you will already know that I am a total musicals geek! I figured it would be good for me to write more about different aspects of musicals and have been trying to figure out a way to do that for quite some time now. I think this musical moments feature on a Monday is certainly the way forward for me to spend some time writing about musicals.

I know the musical genre is often only enjoyed by a select few, everyone still seems to have one musical that they actually quite like (even if they struggle to admit it). So hopefully this feature will at some point have something for everyone in the different movies that will come up! It may even encourage people to watch more musicals.

If you want something from a movie musical to be included in the feature at some point please feel free to ask!

Miley Cyrus – The Climb

This is slowly becoming my song of the moment. I can totally relate to the lyrics of the song and find it inspiring for that reason.  (It is from the Hannah Montana Movie, so I really want to see it even more now. Yes, I know I am sad that I really want to see the movie and love the TV show).

Lyrics

I can almost see it.
that dream I’m dreaming, but
there’s a voice inside of my head, tellin’
you’ll never reach it
every step I’m takin’
every move I make
feels lost in no direction,
my faith is shakin’
but I gotta keep tryin’
gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
ain’t about how fast I get there
ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side
it’s a climb

The struggles I’m facing
the changes I’m taking
sometimes they knock me down, but
no I’m not breaking
I may not know where, but
these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most
I’ve just gotta keep goin’, and
I gotta be strong
just keep pushing on, but

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
ain’t about how fast I get there
ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side
it’s a climb

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I’m gonna have to lose
ain’t about how fast I get there
ain’t about what’s waitin’ on the other side
it’s a climb

Keep on movin’
keep climbin’
keep faith baby
It’s all about, it’s all about
the climb
keep the faith, keep your faith, woah

I really do think a song like this to be in Hannah Montana is very good for the young girls who watch it. It should inspire them to keep going in life (yes that may sound a bit dramatic, but I mean more when they get older and listen to the song again and actually understand what the lyrics mean rather than just listening to singing along because its a Miley song. But I will hopefully find out how it is in the movie, I’m kinda guessing when she has to choose between her two lives? I will find out if I am right at some point. 🙂

The Wrestler (2008) Movie Music Video

The music video for “The Wrestler” both movie and song of the same name. Appeared on youtube the other day, a friend sent me the link to it and it only had a couple of hundred views. But today when I have just clicked on the link it has over 28,000 views at the moment. This was over the past couple of days. For those who haven’t seen the fantastic music video with Bruce Springsteen in the ring:
