<p>I saw a Hollywood flick about a week or two ago, starring Anne Hathaway alongside some hunky, hazel eyed, gorgeous British actor. <em>The boy fine no be small, chai!</em></p><p>The plot revolves around an older woman falling in love with a member of a boy band who she’s old enough to birth. The movie is also based on a book (which I’m currently reading), and has a lovely, corny plot perfect for diehard romantics like me. </p><p>The producers released an entire album on popular music streaming platforms, off the songs sang by the fictional band in the movie. I have fallen in love with almost all the songs and there’s nothing anyone can say to convince me that “August Moon” is not a real boy band.</p><p>Before I came to pen this, I was listening to my favorite song on the album titled “Dance before we walk”, and I smiled at how addicted to discovering music gems in movies and tv shows I am. No jokes, I have a repertoire of songs gotten off movies and tv shows on my playlist, songs discovered over the years from some of my favorite films and tv series. I even have the perfect song for my wedding day: a beautiful tune I heard on the first episode of a Nollywood YouTube series titled “This Is It.”</p><p><em> I won’t share the title so you won’t steal it for your own wedding. *Tongue out*</em></p><p>There was also this Hollywood series I think was discontinued titled “Stalker.” In it, i unearthed a gem of a song “One way or another” which was sang by a two-man British band called “Until The Ribbon Breaks.” <em>Even the name sef you go know say their songs go sweet! </em>The group reworked the original piece and their version was so thrilling, years after I chanced upon this gem, I still listen to it till this very day.</p><p><strong> I love how transcendental music is, for me.</strong></p><p>It literally transports me to different places and times. And it speaks a universal language, so much so someone like me in my wee, nondescript corner of Lagos, can understand the feelings and message conveyed in a song belted in French. </p><p><em>Plus I personally think some of the best melodies are soundtracks. Particularly the ones specifically composed for that movie or tv show.</em> </p><p>Anyone else like to discover songs in films like I do? It’s just such a dope thing, isn’t it? Finding a really nice song in a movie, especially one not very many people have heard of, and feeling like an A&R. Then I proceed to play the song over and over; until everybody around me and their dogs know the lyrics. </p>
