The movie: Heroes

The Song:

 

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion

I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Though my mind could thnk I still was a mad man

I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say

 

CHORUS

Carry on my wayward son,

For there'll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Now don't you cry no more

 

Masquerading as a man with a reason

My charade is the event of the season

And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean

I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say

 

CHORUS

 

Carry on, you will always remember

Carry on, nothing equals the splendor

Now your life's no longer empty

Surely heaven waits for you

 

CHORUS

 

I just learned the video release replaced the Kansas song with some no name b.s. :fyou

How about "Stuck in the Middle With You", from Reservoir Dogs?

Stealer's Wheel made that song long before Reservoir Dogs.

 

These were original songs made for especially that movie or actually sung in that movie by an actor.

 

EDITED: same with Kansas

Unlike the Academy Awards, which honors songs written specifically for new movies, the AFI list allowed any tune integral to a movie. So songs such as "It Had to Be You" (No. 60) from "When Harry Met Sally..." and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" (No. 94) from "The Big Chill" made the cut.

 

Not this list.

I know...but, IF the category was best use of a song in a movie....

Which is was . . .

 

Which is far more interesting. The decision to use a popular song in a movieis fraught with danger.
