M+M: Music + Movie

I love music. I love movies. But I love it more when I'm watching a movie and I listen to a song I love. This tumblr is a tribute to directors who know how to combine the movie scene with great music.

Almost Famous (2000)

Artist: Elton John

Music: Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today

Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today

Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today

Warm Bodies (2013)

Band: M83

Music: Midnight City

Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark The night city grows Look and see her eyes, they glow

Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark

Drinking in the lounge Following the neon signsWaiting for a roar Looking at the mutating skyline The city is my church It wraps me in the sparkling twilight

Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for the right time Waiting in a car Waiting for a ride in the dark

Band: The Velvet Underground

Music: Stephanie Says

Stephanie says that she wants to know Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now Stephanie says when answering the phone What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mindStephanie says that she wants to know Why it is thought she's the door She can't be the roomStephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone What sea shell sea is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mindShe asks you is it good or bad It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska

Ant Man (2015)

Band: The Cure

Music: Plainsong

I think it's dark and it looks like it's rain, you said And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world, you said

And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead And you smiled for a second

I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain, you said And it's all running out like it's the end of the world, you said

And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead And you smiled for a second

Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world It's just the way I smile, you said

Watchmen (2009)

Band: Simon and Garfunkel

Music: Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone ‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dare Disturb the sound of silence “Fools” said I, “You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you” But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said “The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence

Legion S01E08 (2017)

Band: Pink Floyd

Music: Breathe

Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around, choose your own ground For long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all your touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Band: The Doors

Music: The end

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes, again

Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free Desperately in need, of some, stranger's hand In a, desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain And all the children are insane, all the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold The west is the best, the west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest The blue bus is callin' us, the blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and, then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door, and he looked inside Father, yes son, I want to kill you Mother, I want to, fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us C'mon baby, take a chance with us

And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rock, on a blue bus Doin' a blue rock, c'mon, yeah Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill This is the end, beautiful friend

This is the end, my only friend, the end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end

Garden State (2004)

Band: The Shins

Music: New Slang

Gold teeth and a curse for this town Were all in my mouth Only, I don't know how they got out, dear Turn me back into the pet I was when we met I was happier then with no mindset

And if you'd took to me like a Gull takes to the wind Oh, I'd a-jumped from my trees And I'd a-danced like the king of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would have fared well

New slang when you notice the stripes The dirt in your fries Hope it's right when you die, old and bony Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall Never should have called But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely

And if you'd took to me like a Gull takes to the wind Well, I'd a-jumped from my trees And I'd a-danced like the kind of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would have fared well

God speed all the bakers at dawn May they all cut their thumbs And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine? And if you'd 'a took to me like, well I'd a-danced like the queen of the eyesores And the rest of our lives would have fared well

Movie: Rememory (2017)

Band: The National

Music: Mistaken for Strangers

You have to do it running But you do everything that they ask you to 'Cause you don't mind seeing yourself in a picture As long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed

Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over you Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch Another un-innocent, elegant fall Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts So you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves So you swear, you just saw a feathery woman Carry a blindfolded man through the trees

Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters Showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over you Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch Another un-innocent, elegant fall Into the un-magnificent lives of adults

You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends When you pass them at night Under the silvery, silvery Citibank lights Arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes, glazing under

Oh, you wouldn't want an angel watching over you Surprise, surprise, they wouldn't wanna watch Another un-innocent, elegant fall Into the un-magnificent lives of adults
