Kiko’s Delivery Service

Some beautiful lyrics and melody from the movie...

Opening credits

My heart is ready to beat
I can feel the wind underneath my feet
I’m gonna jump over the moon
Hands in the air
Waving like a balloon
I’m free as a bird
Lost in the stars
And waving down to Earth

Donno wher I’m gonna land
But you gotta wobble
Before you stand
I’m soaring
All alone and on my own
I’m soaring
And I know my heart will lead me home

Just look in my eyes
Can’t you see I’m not the same today
I can see farther now
Stepped off the edge
I’m making my own way

Donno wher I’m gonna land
But you gotta wobble
Before you stand
I’m soaring
All alone and on my own
I’m soaring
And I know my heart will lead me home


Closing credits:

One day the whole world looks
Like and open page
And you’ve been dancing as fast as you can
With a smile on your face
Then the earth and the sky
They all fit together
And carry me away as light as a feather
In the big blue sky
And I watch it all go by
So I’m gonna fly
Higher than I ever could
Feel the wind blow thro’ my hair
Feel the sun dance with the moon
And my fet can’t stay
On the ground any longer
With every leap of faith
I feel a little stronger
Wanna swing from a star
In the big blue sky
Don’t wanna watch it all go by
So I’m gonna fly
See for myself what it looks like
From up there
And taste the stardust in my mouth
Chase the clouds
Until they disappear
And if I can make
Just one life better
Bring a smile to your face
When you’re under the weather
And I’m feeling like
I finally found my home
I’ll plant the seeds and watch them grow
And I’m gonna fly

Unbreakable

Few of the lines that were worth remembering...

Comics:Exaggerated versions of truth....extraordinary visions…probably simply instinct.

They believed in the stories and we let them believe…that kept them safe

Sometimes when people are injured, their mind also gets injured and so they start living in their own reality

If you choose to be afraid, you’ll be afraid for life. Hiding cannot prevent the occurrence of something.

The world is in the mediocrity. People don’t understand the true potential in themselves or others

'The Village' (Tinsel town,08-08-04)

It was beautiful... the movie making, the style, the loaction, the acting, the scene compositions and lighting....and of course the story

Here are some of those random thoughts after watching the movie...some related to the movie...some just afterthoughts...


Its a simple rustic life...picture perfect...except for a lurking shadow in the hidden depths...

To what extent can a person go to hide the fear within?

Is it a mock at the gullible mind? The rules are not to be broken... and you just have to follow that!

The mind believes and is conditioned to believe the words

Running away is no answer

You might have to cross the line if you want to 'live'

Fear can consume you...you believe in the fear and the body reacts to it. Its all in the mind!

Are all these rules to protect us from the fear of the unknown or shading the past from casting a shadow?

Is that true innocence, one that is sheltered in fear?

All that the world calls 'fear' is /could be constructed, so don't let the mind get consumed by it.

When you confront the fear, nothing can protect you than Your self. You lose belief in the beliefs you held so long...its plain gut and instinct that helps you survive.

The best defense in the face of fear is you-no rocks will help...you need to shed those beliefs.

You can survive if you are blind to the fears set by others (red berries and Ivy)

Chanting will not suffice when you're hanging on a cliff...you need to climb or make an effort to climb up. Its You who has to get out of the rut!

Aren't we all trying to protect innocence? Fear or rules or whatever the measure we use.

Is the whole belief system designed to keep us safe?

Is Fear a shelter from greater evils? Is it a stop sign?
