Rob Thomas, formerly of Matchbox Twenty, sings “Little Wonders”, taken from the new Disney film “Meet The Robinsons”. This is the non-animated version of the video.
Lyrics to Little Wonders by Rob Thomas
let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

The lyrics remind me of dialogue spoken over some music in the Thai movie Tears of the Black Tiger: “life is suffering, punctuated only by a never-ending search for happy moments.”
Tears of the Black Tiger has a lot of great music in it. Much of it is forlorn though, just like the movie itself.
I’ve read that it was supposed to be a parody of Thai action and romance films, but I went away with a genuine feeling of sadness and concern for the plight of the lead character Dum, who, through a series of unfortunate circumstances, became a tragic hero. And the only thing he really wanted was not necessarily his own happiness, but the happiness of Rumpoey, the childhood friend who captured his heart.
I was also impressed by the cinematography and special effects of the film. Certain colors and lighting were emphasized in scenes to influence mood. The setting consists of elements of the old American west, rural Thailand, and mid-century Bangkok. Characters travel by horses, water buffalo and automobiles.
The whole movie is just a feast for the senses.
Thanks Seiji,
I’ve not seen the movie yet but it sounds very good,I just saw the movie, very classic indeed, very much western but that is how it was in Thailand in the olden days (minus the fancy outfits,) I grew up in the rural part of Thailand, and there were different groups of bandit, which the Thais referred to as ‘Siar’ or Tiger. Here is the link for Tears of the Black Tiger for those that are interested in watching.Movie Description from Amazon.com:
TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER takes a journey back to a lost past the heroic years of Thai genre cinema when influences from Hollywood and everywhere else were subsumed into rollicking Thai melodramas for an audience of avid fans. Sasanatieng s film is a brilliant pastiche of vanished themes styles and characters almost all of them easily recognizable as variants on the prototypes from other popular cinemas. But the film s project is not simply nostalgic. Sasanatieng uses the tricks and tropes of film style from the 1960 s- iris shots wipes obvious back-projection but combines them with a startling modernist approach to color and storytelling. The result is not only unique in Thai cinema but also an entirely new way of looking at genre entertainment. TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER offers nostalgia as future shock.When Dum a young peasant boy falls in love with Rumpoey the daughter of a wealthy family they vow that whatever happens they will one day be together. When they meet again ten years later their rekindled passion is thwarted by the murder of Dum s father by outlaws and by Rumpoey s betrothal to a smooth-talking police captain. Dum soon transforms himself into the gunslinging bandit Black Tiger in order to infiltrate the gang who murdered his father. Fate will reunite the lovers one more time but will they be able to continue their romance? Or will tragedy strike again?
