I’m honestly running out of stuff to say about them. They’re just all fantastic. This one is just a nice slow groove. I love the change of pace from some of the others. via… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #108 – “Hide,” from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — B+ Movie Blog

Another one of the Alli songs. The last one, I think. We’re almost past these and will soon be on the real cream of the crop (also notice how few of the 17 songs made this half of the list and […]… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #106 – “Before I Cry,” from A Star Is Born — B+ Movie Blog

They cover a lot of bases with this one. The phrase itself does go back to the 17th century, but it’s not something that’s widely known. And just hearing it, it sounds almost like gibberish. Which allows them to position […]… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #105 – “Trip a Little Light Fantastic,” from Mary Poppins Returns — B+ Movie Blog

It’s the end credits song, and it’s just the loveliest song in the movie. The beginning makes it seem like you get what it is and it’s just this simple, repetitive song, but trust […]… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #104 – “So Long,” from Winnie the Pooh — B+ Movie Blog

It was already in your head before you saw this scene. But it also goes to show you the strength of the song that it can do that. It become […]… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #102 – “We Know the Way,” from Moana — B+ Movie Blog

This plays a couple […]… Continue reading Mike’s Favorite Original Songs of the Decade: #101 – “Feels Like Summer,” from Shaun the Sheep Movie — B+ Movie Blog
