would've-been theme song: 'with or without you'


Every time i watch this movie. especially the ending & when it goes off,I get so into the moment that i would start playing the hit song by U2 "with or without you." kind of my way to end the movie with the end credits rolling since they didn't have that type of music around in the 60's. Its the perfect song for that very moment at end 'cuz it really types into what gordon probably felt and thought about after selina left. The lyrics kind of types in with themes of the movie itself'cuz part of the lyrics sings " see the stones set in your eyes." i like to make that up as to think of that as gordon looking at selina's none-eyes but sees the blacklish blue pupils setting or laying in her eyes like blacklish blue stones laying on the ground in her eyes. and the other lyrical sentence: "through the storm we reached the shore" which i like to make it as: in the movie they have been pressured by their loves ones and friends on why they couldn't be together,the pressure was like a big verbal tychoon storm trying to push them away from each other but no matter how many times they were pressured they kepted coming back to earth's shore(to each other) and also when gordon mentions to selina "you brought me back to earth."(brought me back to earth's shore) which i like to make it up as. and of course, the other 2 lyric sentences:" i can't live with or without you" which means to me in the movie as: that gordon couldn't make up his mind whether to be with or without selina and last but not least:" you give yourself away" meaning to me that: selina keeps giving into her mother's torture and her lack of independence keeps her away from gordon(giving herself away from gordon) If this movie came out today instead of the '60's or if it was remade that song would definitely be the love theme for the whole movie hell it would have won an oscar for best song and U2 included. try it out for yourselves, the next time guys you watch this movie and you make it to the end play that song at the end credits and you'll see what i mean it might even help you enjoy the movie more better or you know what they should do, someone should take a camcoder and make a home made music video with clips from the movie with the song playing over it and upload it into the "youtube" website
'cuz you know how many people have made their own fan films,videos and music videos. They even did a homemade music video of "the notebook" with "with or without you" actually playing over it and it was on youtube, so, who's ever reading this take your camcoders and go for it'cuz i'm dying to see it myself'cuz i don't have a camcoder and i'm still looking for a job. hahaha!!!!!
