Music and Lyrics
五一放假回去看的电影之中，唯独是这部最有感觉的。
演员阵容本来就已经足够分量了，Hugh Grant不愧为“英伦情人”，拍这么多年爱情片都不退步，真是难得；之前对Drew Barrymore的风格还不是很熟悉，不过这部片中与前者的拍档产生了良好的化学反应，两人都在电影中献出了自己的“处女唱”非常难得。这部在今年情人节上映的电影，注定会成为又一部情人节经典。
故事说的是一个过气的乐队歌手Alex Fletcher，应邀为一个著名女歌手Cora编写一首名为《Way Back Into Love》的歌以表达她跟男朋友分手后的感情。在Alex为写歌而烦恼的时候，偶然认识了一个来帮他浇花的女佣Sophie Fisher，却发现她有很好的写歌词的才华，于是两人合力谱写这一首歌，而在写歌的过程中互相使对方从各自生活的阴影中走了出来，但是又因为完成这首歌的最后一部分两人产生了一点矛盾，最终Alex在Cora的演唱会上唱了自己倾注了所有感情写出来的《Don’t Write Me Off》来挽回了Sophie的爱，而最后Alex与Cora合唱出他和Sophie写的主题曲《Way Back Into Love》来作为电影的结尾。
爱情故事就像平凡的生活一样或多或少有些老套，不过却总有那么多善于感悟生活的人能够写出优美的诗句和歌曲，很明显这部片的导演也是这样一类人。片中以一首歌为主线，而这首歌的歌词却是对故事情节发展的真实写照，音乐和歌词的灵感都是来自于生活中所经历的感情，这些优美的歌词使这部电影生色不少。看完这部电影令我更加懂得了如何去欣赏诗、歌、电影，其实当你懂得欣赏生活的时候，你自然就会欣赏到艺术家和诗人的所想所悟了。最后循例贴一贴歌词，这首歌很可能会成为又一经典情歌：
《WAY BACK INTO LOVE》
－Performed by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett，From the OST of “Music and Lyrics”
I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end
