La La Land Soundtrack Lyrics






La La Land Cast - Another Day Of Sun

[First Girl]
Ba-ba-da-ba da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba-da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba

[First Girl]
I think about that day
I left him at a Greyhound station
West of Santa Fé

We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
Still I did what I had to do
'Cause I just knew

Summer: Sunday nights
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside each scene

[First Girl & First Man]
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a bus, here I came
Could be brave or just insane

[First Girl, First Man & Second Man]
We'll have to see

[First Girl]
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
He'll see my face and think of how he...

[First Girl, First Man, Second Man & Dancers]
...used to know me

[Chorus: All]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun

[Young Man]
I hear 'em ev'ry day
The rhythms in the canyons
That'll never fade away
The ballads in the barrooms
Left by those who came before
They say "you gotta want it more"
So I bang on ev'ry door

[Second Girl]
And even when the answer's "no"
Or when my money's running low
The dusty mic and neon glow
Are all I need

[Young Man]
And someday as I sing my song
A small-town kid'll come along

[Second Girl & Young Man]
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go

[Chorus: All]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun

[Instrumental Break]

[First Girl]
And when they let you down
The morning rolls around

[All]
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Another day has just begun
It's another day of sun

[Outro]
It's another day of sun

Callie Hernandez - Someone In The Crowd


You got the invitation
You got the right address
You need some medication?
The answer's always yes

A little chance encounter
Could be the one you've waited for
Just squeeze a bit more

Tonight we're on a mission
Tonight's the casting call
If this is the real audition
Oh, God, help us all

You make the right impression
Then ev'rybody knows your name
We're in the fast lane

Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know
The one to finally lift you off the ground
Someone in the crowd could take you where you wanna go
If you're the someone ready to be found

You're the someone ready to be found

Do what you need to do
'Til they discover you
And make you more than who
You're seeing now

So with the stars aligned
I think I'll stay behind
You've got to go and find

That someone in the crowd

That someone in the crowd

Is someone in the crowd the only thing you really see?
Watching while the world keeps spinning 'round?
Somewhere there's a place where I find who I'm gonna be
A somewhere that's just waiting to be found

Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know
The someone who could lift you off the ground
Someone in the crowd could take you where you wanna go
Someone in the crowd could make you
Someone in the crowd could take you
Flying off the ground
If you're the someone ready to be found

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling - A Lovely Night

The sun is nearly gone
The lights are turning on
A silver shine that stretches to the sea

We've stumbled on a view
That's tailor-made for two
What a shame those two are you and me

Some other girl and guy
Would love this swirling sky
But there's only you and I
And we've got no shot

This could never be
You're not the type for me (really?)

And there's not a spark in sight
What a waste of a lovely night

You say there's nothing here?
Well, let's make something clear
I think I'll be the one to make that call (but you'll call?)

And though you looked so cute
In your polyester suit (it's wool)

You're right, I'd never fall for you at all

And maybe this appeals
To someone not in heels
Or to any girl who feels
There's some chance for romance
But, I'm frankly feeling nothing

Is that so?

Or it could be less than nothing

Good to know, so you agree?

That's right

What a waste of a lovely night

Ryan Gosling - City Of Stars

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There so much that I cant see
Who knows,
Is this the start of something wonderful and new?
Or one more dream,
That I cannot make true.

{whistling}

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling - City Of Stars

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
That now our dreams
They've finally come true

City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance

A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart

Think I want it to stay

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You never shined so brightly

John Legend - Start A Fire

I don't know why I keep moving my body
I don't know if this is wrong or if it's right
I don't know if there's a beat, or something's taking over me
And I just know I'll feel so good tonight

I don't know what your name is but I like it
I've been thinking 'bout some things I wanna try
I don't know what you came to do, but I wanna do it with you
And I just know I'll feel so good tonight

Oh, if we keep on dancing
Take our rhythm to new heights
Feel the heat of passion, baby
Light up the night

We could start a fire
Come on, let it burn baby
We could start a fire
Let the tables turn baby
We could start a fire

I just know I feel so good
Don't you know I feel so good
I just know I feel so good
Tonight

I don't care if this tuns into a riot
Lets get reckless, tear this place down to the floor
Turn the music way up loud
Can't nobody stop us now
I just know I feel so good tonight
I just know I feel so good tonight

We could start a fire
Come on, let it burn baby
We could start a fire
Let the tables turn baby
We could start a fire

I just know I feel so good
Don't you know I feel so good
Don't you know, don't you know?
Tonight

Emma Stone - Audition (The Fools Who Dream)

My aunt used to live in Paris
I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad
And I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot

She smiled

Leapt, without looking
And tumbled into the Seine
The water was freezing
She spent a month sneezing
But said she would do it again

Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

She captured a feeling
Sky with no ceiling
The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor
And died with a flicker
I'll always remember the flame

Here's to the ones who dream
Foolish as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that ache
Here's to the mess we make

She told me
"A bit of madness is key
To give us new colors to see
Who knows where it will lead us?
And that's why they need us"

So bring on the rebels
The ripples from pebbles
The painters, and poets, and plays

And here's to the fools who dream
Crazy as they may seem
Here's to the hearts that break
Here's to the mess we make

I trace it all back to then
Her, and the snow, and the Seine
Smiling through it
She said she'd do it again
