Would you say we're in a zone of danger?

This is a great answer.

That's actually a slow, dark cover song written exclusively for that film. If you listen to the original version by Tears for Fears, it's a much more energetic, happy-sounding song. You wouldn't even know it was dark unless you were paying attention to the lyrics.

You wouldn’t even know it was dark unless you were paying attention to the lyrics.

Or the minor key.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah I remember the Tears for Fears original, wasn’t a fan when I first heard it. It wasn’t until Michael Andrews/Gary Jules’ version that I became hooked.

Hero wasn't by them, it was only by Chad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I stand corrected. πŸ†

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

No worries, it's a common misconception. It doesn't help that Nickelback was founded in 1995 and the song came out in 2002 iirc.

Short Circuit 2 - Holding on for a hero.

Much more impactful than how it was used in Shrek 2.

Real stakes, life and death. Spoiler warning - clip spoils the climax of the movie...

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls to City of Angels, but looks like it was written for the movie so not sure if it counts..

Back in 2000, I think you were practically brainwashed into linking Metallica with Mission: Impossible II.

It's a decent song but I seem to remember that summer its all I heard. πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

This is the song that got me into rock and eventually metal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I remember that summer, stuck in the countryside, satellite TV being the only entertainment other than fucking around on my bike. I disappear and Take a look around are similarily linked in my mind.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I was always annoyed a little bit because I was a bigger Limp Bizkit fan and at least their song used the M:I theme music!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago
