@Bretrick Although this is not the most popular for film scores, it is with me as it kinda describes my life as someone who is not risk adverse. I have also rated Betteāœ”ļø as No 1 for all round entertainment. The Rose from 1979

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed

Itā€™s the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Itā€™s the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
Itā€™s the one who wonā€™t be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sunā€™s love
In the spring becomes the rose

ā€¦and as a live performance :point_down::+1::clap:

Surfin Bird by The Trashmen, used in a few films.
A frantic song and none the worse for that :+1:
Used to great effect in Full Metal Jacket, really must get a copy on Blu-ray, cracking film!
