Hi everybody...this is my first post on imdb...I saw the movie on TV recently and liked it a lot.I also liked Poe's "Fly Away" song but I really loved the opening titles song...It's a very soulful one...I googled the whole thing but couldn't find the artist/song. So (as a last resort) I decided to use imdb's message boards.I would be grateful if anyone could help me... Thanks in advance and have a nice day wherever you are...
The opening song is "Day After Day", Written by Julian Lennon (John Lennon and Yoko's son) and Mark Spiro. The voice you heard on the song is Julian Lennon.
Julian Lennon has also done other great songs for other movies, including Mr. Holland's Opus.
Here's the lyrics of the full song. The section in bold is what you heard in the movie..
I have walked through the fire as an ordinary man And if I die, I die in peace, part of all that God has planned, ’cos I believe in you and the best is yet to come, You’ve been alone it’s true, daddy’s work is never done. In my dreams, every night, I see the waves upon the sand And you and I walk alone and there’s a ring upon your hand. Yes I believe in you and if my prayers are answered now, I’m coming back , to you, I’m gonna find a way somehow.
I’m making my way, each morning I pray for you, Day after day, I’ll turn every stone, until I get home to you, Day after day.
Where you are is all there is, the only place I want to be And love is war and war is cold, when you’re so far across the sea. Still I’m alive, still in love, I hope this letter finds you well, Through the blood, through the flames, I can hear those wedding bells.
I’m making my way, each morning I pray for you, Day after day, I’ll turn every stone, until I get home to you, Day after day.
Darling you know the winds of peace are blowing, (they say the answers written in the wind) Still I can hear the fallen angels singing, (our love is stronger than the million miles that separate us)
I’m making my way, each morning I pray for you, Day after day, I’ll turn every stone, until I get home to you, Day after day....
PS. Julian is Cyn and Johns son, not Yoko and Johns son. His name is Sean, he's also done some great music.. If you liked Julians music, you'll be happy to know he's recording his come back-album right now, it'll be released at the end of 2006 or the beginning of 2007. Read more about it on julianlennon.com.
