The song and its lyrics are more than just iconic. When one mentions a film, it is rare for anyone to associate a particular song to it. However, with these songs, the films are merely secondary. Here are some of the iconic songs that helped create and establish films into what they are now. And rightfully so, since Titanic is only the highest grossing film in the world (with a worldwide gross of over a billion dollars-a feat during its release, and an achievement no other film has duplicated). Many would argue that this song isn't exactly great art. With lyrics that go "Near, far, wherever you are / I believe that the heart does go on / Once more you open the door / And you're here in my heart / And my heart will go on and on," it is obvious that this song does not aspire to be great art. Together, it created "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing," a song that survived the scrutiny of pop culture critics even if the movie is now often seen as an overrated drivel. "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" is a karaoke favorite, thanks to its accessible lyrics. In fact, it was sang in television's biggest karaoke-type show-American Idol. In fact, the contestant who performed the song during its seventh season eventually won the competition.
The heart has been associated as being a source of emotion, love, courage, wisdom and possibly the core of our soul. In ancient Greece there was a belief that there was competition between the heart and brain in regard to thinking and feeling or intellect and emotion. In traditional Western medicine we look at the heart primarily as a muscular organ which pumps blood throughout our body giving us the nutrients and oxygen we need in order to survive. But if we look at the heart in a less traditional fashion, we can learn a lot about keeping our bodies, Our heart rhythm patterns become more erratic, our stress hormone levels become elevated, our blood vessels can constrict, our blood pressure may rise and eventually our immune system becomes weakened.
