Sweet November Soundtracks

years from now i probably wouldn't be able to recall much of sweet november the movie, probably only comfy blurry impressions of theron's walking away from reeves, over that autumn bridge, gathering her coat around her against the morning chill and walking, walking, on those stunning legs . and maybe also her running and rolling around on that white beach with six incredibly identical and white doggies (species=..?) and that emotional medicine cabinet/bathroom scene, and driving license exam and the big brown paper bag..alright alright, already a lot...funny that i don't remember reeves at all..perhaps except that silly wig present. how sad.

BUT, years and years from now i'd still remember that the soundtrack is fantastic, i am quite certain of that, and almost certain it's quite the same for you, slap. it's something that can be put on infinite repeat and not get me bored or irritated with the constancy for quite a long time. how we crazed about Heart Door (熨衣服~~) and Touched by an Angel (all the time wondering whether the singer was male or female...)and You Deserve to be Loved..which is opium for moments of low self-worth..enjoy!

Heart Door

There is a diamond inside of me that lights up the sky of my soul
Where fell the diamond when I believed that all of the hurt was my fault

I'm opening the heart door, letting in the light
Opening the heart door and giving life to me that died

You ended up so with that person who comes home too late from the bar
I ended up so when my courage could finally walk on its own
When I finally opened the door

I'm opening the heart door, letting in the light
Opening the heart door and giving life to me that died

You ended up so with that person who comes home too late from the bar
I ended up so when my courage could finally walk on its own
When I finally opened the heart door

Touched by an Angel

And when she walked in the room
After so many years
He looked up and saw her
He was standing at the crossroads
She was moving in slow motion
Everything was the same
Except that everything was different

In that very moment, everyone was silent
And everyone was friendly
For the first time in years
Everyone was smiling
Though their pain was apparent
And the floor was wet and slippery
With the tracks of their tears

And when I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better
I have come to take you away."

No one slipped and fell
This time, everyone was steady
Someone held my arm so that
I would not fall
For the fist time, in a long time
Everyone was ready
No one said a word
And that simply said it all

And then I see someone standing
At the side of the stage
Not standing in the shadows
I see her face
Glowing in the darkness
In her own angel way
"I have come to make you better
I have come... to take you away."
I'll make you better

Walking through the room together
In suspended animation
No one saw us go, no one said goodbye
But in my heart I leave
Great expectations
That you will find the answers
To your questions
And that life will once more
Be a celebration
And that you will be touched by an angel
And that you will be touched by an angel
And that you will be touched by an angel

Celebration
Someday
Someday, someday
Celebration

The Consequences of Falling

are you breathing
what i'm breathing
are your wishes
the same as mine

fire you needing
what i'm needing
i'm waiting for a sign

my hands tremble
my heart aches
is it you calling
if i'm alone in this
i don't think i can face

the consequences of falling
are you thinking
what i'm thinking
does your pulse
quicken like mine

are you dreaming
what i'm dreaming
i can't read your mind
one step towards you
two steps back
feels like i'm crawling

if i'm alone in this
i don't think i can face
the consequences of falling

My Number

Showers pounding out a new beat
I trade my old shoes for new feet
I grab a new seat
I don't like the one I got
The fabric's wearing through
And it's wearing me out
You're wearing me down

Watching old baseball games
And low budget telethons
Ain't like watching you yourself
When you yourself is on
Got time to wander to waste and to whine
But when it comes to you,
It seems like I just can't find the time

So watch your head and then watch the ground
It's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
It's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down

If I gave you my number
Would it still be the same
If I saved you from drowning?
Promise me you'll never go away
Promise me you'll always stay

Closed down the last local zoo
I'm gonna win the endless war
Over who kills the last koala bear
And who in death will love him more and I
He grabs me by the hand
Drags me to the shore and says
Maybe you don't love me
But you'll grow to love me even more

And I well I'm not surprised

If I gave you my number
Would it still be the same
If I saved you from drowning?
Promise me you'll never go away
Promise me you'll always stay

Showers pounding out a new beat
I trade my old shoes for new feet
I grab a new seat
I don't like the one I got
The fabric's wearing through
And it's wearing me out
You're wearing me down

So watch your head and then watch the ground
It's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
It's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down

If I gave you my number
Would it still be the same
If I saved you from drowning?
Promise me you'll never go away
Promise me you'll always stay

Only Time

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

[chants]

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time...

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love dies?
Only time...

[chants]

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart...

[extended chants]

Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time...

And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time...

Who knows?
Only time...

Who knows?
Only time...

You Deserve to be Loved

Mind your manners, watch your ways
Be a good boy, just behave
What's wrong with you?
Settle down keep your two feet on the ground
Sit up straight, stand up tall
Never falter, never fall

I stay in school
Make the grade
Never fail and never fade
Be a hero, be a star
Anything but what you are

Find a girl to possess
Always pay, pursue, protect
Be a master, be a slave
Work your way into an early grave

But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
It's time to heal, time to feel...love

Daddy's favourite little girl
Dress up in your mommy's pearls
Serve his breakfast in his bed
Earn a little kiss on the forehead
You are sugar, you are spice
You are growing up so nice
Paint your nails, paint your face
Paint around the empty space
Find a man who can provide
Try to fill the how inside
With a family and a home
Tell yourself you're not alone
Keep the memories of yourself
In a shoebox on the closet shelf

But you deserve to be loved
You deserve something real
It's time to heal, time to feel...love

I know somebody loves you
Somebody, somebody love you

I DO LOVE THAT SOUNDTRACKKKKKKKK!!!! the pictures i remember from sweety nov, slow dance at the old house, 6 o''clock shadow cast by the slanting faded rays, the dust slowly rising in gentle whirls, circling them as they danced, as charlize clumsily stepped on reeve''s shoes (and she was wearing bulky earth shoes!! how i love them, and her scarves too!!! so many colourful scarves!!!! and most of the clothes she wears in that movie!!! great wardrobe!), they walking side by side on the beach, reeves singing in the end(how hilarious, hahahahahha, wearing a white tuxedo and black waistband hahaha), charlize smiling, charlize talking, stunning legs, stnning figures, radiant smiles, lovely hair, lovely dress hahaha, charlize here, charlize there, keanu where hahaha. yeah, my fav scene is they dancing in that house, with the story told by reeves about ''his father'', how he shut himself in that small room and listening to the 80s, and reeves desperately wanted to be a singer coz that''s everything his father''s not, and that house became a heart''s scar, haunted. but i have to say that the general plot is really crap though. oh, how can we forget those transvestites downstairs????!!! although their cooking''s great.
