My first official post for a soundtrack to an AHHHHHNNNOOOOLD flick!
Ok, let me be serious, now.
Here is a movie I remember a few years ago called, "Commando," featuring AHHHNOLD (Arnold Schwarzenegger to be exact). His daughter is kidnapped and like any other 80's movie, he saves the day by rescuing her and beating the living s**t out of the bad guys.
The soundtrack to this movie is very intriguing to me. James Horner introduces an incredible orchestral underscore to the movie, making you want to watch it over again and again. Well, that, and Arnold doing his thing by taking out the bad guys.
There is also an actual vocal song called, "Somewhere, Somehow, Someone (We Fight for Love)," performed by the Power Station. This song is heard at the ending of the movie as the credits are rolling. I am sure that I am not the only one completely outraged about the fact that this song was never included in the soundtrack. But if I am, that is a different story.
If you try to find this rare song on places like "Limewire," all you will get is the version in which Arnold's voice is heard in the beginning, making it clear that this version is a DVD rip. However, this song can be acquired from a CD entitled, "The Power Station: 20th Anniversary Edition," which is basically a compilation disc of some of the Power Station's greatest hits. The best part is, it contains this song.
Now, I could tell you buy the CD on Amazon for a few bucks if you really like this song and group. But thanks to a good friend of mine, who already has this disc, I will include it in this soundtrack. This song, along with Horner's orcheastral sounds, will complete this soundtrack.
I have even included the lyrics for "Somewhere, Somehow, Someone (We Fight for Love)," and they should appear if you use "Windows Media Player" to listen to music.
