When Music Meets Movies- SOUNDTRACKS THAT MADE MOVIES MEMORABLE..

The art of filmmaking is a fascinating process; after seeing a film, I always look forward to seeing the production crew with diverse duties that joined together to make it.It just does not end with the cast, direction, or overall production. The soundtracks are the missing piece that ties everything together. It gives the meaning to the story and connects the audience to it.

I find myself googling the names of soundtracks from movies I have seen. Even as a kid seeing classic Nollywood films like "Osuofia in London," I found myself singing the movie's theme tune to school every day.

If you do not hear the soundtracks, you might forget the entire story, but once you do, you will quickly vibe and remember every minute of the movie. It is a strong emotional connection to the story that makes you emotionally committed to a plot or a lesson gained from the movie.As a result, I put together a list of my favorite soundtracks as well as the cinematic stories to which I felt connected.

"BELLA CIOA" IN MONEY HEIST

Money Heist fans' on TikTok and Instagram made videos of the famous song "Bella Ciao", which persuaded me to view the film. The film is based on a well-coordinated heist by a group of talented individuals, masterminded by The Professor, to steal government resources for themselves and the general public.

When the theft was successful, the song "Bella Ciao" was usually sung...it was a song of celebration for the criminals and for us who enjoyed watching their exploits.
Bella Ciao is a beautiful combination of Spanish lyrics and a fantastic music. It is simple to learn and remember, and it dives right into a growing beat that erupts brilliantly at the end. When someone mentions "Bella Ciao," I immediately think of Tokyo or Professor, and the full recollection of the film, including my favorite sequences, floods back into my mind.

Here is the song:

"JENNY OF OLDSTONE" IN GAME OF THRONES

It has to be the best television series of the decade; it was flawless. It was focused on a power struggle between seven kingdoms amongst families. It was meticulously planned. The Game of Thrones theme tune was excellent and well-known, but Jenny of Oldstone by Florence and the Machine is my favorite soundtrack.

The song's story takes place during a battle against the undead. The battle of the Nightwalkers was the most important combat in the film. Imagine fighting the dead, who would resurrect once they died. Jamie Lannister, Tyrion Lannister,Brienne, Davos and Podrick gathered in a room before the war to reflect on pleasant moments and their lives in case they die. Tyrion requested a song to commemorate Brienne's appointment as the first female Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Podrick sang Jenny of Oldstone , it was extremely emotional, and it converted the cheerful mood into the realization that it was time to confront death. I would remember the setting and everything that happened before and after the song was sung even in my deep sleep if I heard that music. It also made me love Arya Stark who saved all of us

Here is the song:

"NEVER ENOUGH" IN THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

It had to be everyone's favorite film because it was built on such a strong foundation, with everything centered around "Love." "Never Enough" was a strong and global song utilized in the scene by Grace, who performed it for the audience but was referring to the greatest showman that she adored, claiming that fame was not enough for her. It was lovely.

Recently, the song's original vocalist appeared on Britain's Got Talent to perform the song once more; it was surreal but also extremely beautiful to witness, and she was awarded the golden buzzer.The moment she started singing it brought back all the memories of the movie

Here is the song:

"NO TIME TO DIE" IN NO TIME TO DIE

Daniel Craig is my favorite actor, and I owe my admiration to the James Bond films. The best espionage film ever made, as well as one of the greatest action films ever made. No Time to Die marked the end of an era for James Bond, who had recently reconciled with his lover and child only to be taken away by death.

[Source]

The Grammy and Oscar-winning song "NoTime to Die" was performed by the rising Queen of the music industry Billie Eilish with an orchestral setting that was passionate and dramatic, and we could sense why it was titled "No Time to Die." The soundtrack transports me to Bond's life, his love, his daughter, and his death.

"CLASSICAL COVERS" IN THE BRIDGERTON

It has to be one of my favorite films of the year; it is a top-notch romantic comedy about bachelors and spinsters in the United Kingdom finding the right marriage. It was aristocratic, and it provided us the perfect show of a perfect match in season one, with Daphine and the Duke, and my favorite character Anthony, who never believed in true love but was swept off his feet by a young lady in season two.

The sequence of Balls and the excellent classical covers of famous pop, soul, rock, and rap songs are the most engaging parts of "The Bridgertons." It was delivered superbly, and it kept the audience enthralled throughout. I would rewind the scenes only to hear my favorite covers one more time.

Here is the video:

"STILL DON'T KNOW MY NAME" IN EUPHORIA

One of my celebrity crushes Zendaya played the lead in this fantastic film, which was based on the lives of a young addict and her battles to overcome addiction while maintaining a social life.

It was interesting since Labrinth grabbed my heart with the magnificent natural soundtrack titled "Still don't know my name," which was used for the romantic bond between Rue and Jules in the movie. After listening to the movie's soundtrack, I streamed the song.

Here is the video:

"GANGSTA"IN SUICIDE SQUAD.

One of the best action movies, I was more interested in the romantic relationship between Harley Quinn and The Joker than the action scenes.

I admire Harley Quinn's and The Joker's relationship. It was wild, but real and honest at the same time. When Harley Quinn jumped into the acid tank with Joker, the perfect soundtrack was Gangsta by Kehlani. I wasn't expecting it, but it made me love the romance. The remarks were so genuine, and it was just what Harley Quinn was looking for.

Here is the video:

"ALL THE STARS" IN BLACK PANTHER

It was one of the many adventure films made on the African continent. It was inspiring to have Tchalla as our superhero and Wakanda as our backdrop.I fell in love with the film because of the great story telling and how much Black Panther was willing to fight for his throne.

[Source]

The "All the Stars" soundtrack by Kendrick Lamar and SZA is one of my faves. It
captivated me because Black Panther had to go through so much to retake his throne, and All the Stars imbued those scenes with so much significance and belief that I would never forget them.

Here is the video:

"CIRCLE OF LIFE" IN THE LION KING

This is the joy of most kids like myself when growing Up..We idolised the movie so much that everyone spoke about the lion king but was made it stick in our head was the soundtracks in the movie. The Circle of Life is my favourite soundtrack from the Movie, I would be in the shower singing the song on top of my voice and I enjoyed every scene from the movie.
