I've never heard of the singer Madison Beer (what a name), but she did the song that was used in the movie "Fall," which I recently reviewed. The song's lyrics have almost nothing to do with the plot of the movie except for the title/refrain: "I Have Never Felt More Alive." Part of what "Fall" is about is the redemption of our protagonist/heroine, who went dead inside after the death of her husband, but who found the will to live again after her harrowing experience on that 2,000-foot tower. Still, it's strange to think of how many songs associated with movies end up having nothing to do with the movie itself. I can think of only one exception, which I'll show below. Here's Madison Beer's song, "I Have Never Felt More Alive":
Madison Beer's song reminded me of Rihanna's song "Sledgehammer" for "Star Trek Beyond," the video of which definitely has a Trek-themed look, but whose lyrics once again have nothing to do with the movie (in fact, I initially thought Beer's song was by Rihanna). Come to think of it, both Beer's song and Rihanna's song are about feminine defiance in the face of maleness:
Finally, here's my candidate for a movie-related song whose lyrics are actually pertinent (not to mention cool):
arm yourselfbecause no one else herewill save you
I love those lyrics.
How could I resist listening to a song from a singer named Beer? Actually enjoyed the song (I appreciated having the lyrics displayed as well). And the big bonus was clips from the film in the background. Damn, I remember having my acrophobia triggered reading your review, but seeing them climbing on that tower made my knees wobbly.
