OK, this is kind of like the favorite songs game, but with a disticntly 'Balto' twist!
If you had your choice, which songs would you like to hear in the Balto movies (it has to be one that would somehow fit in)?
Personally, I would love to hear 'Will the Wolf Survive?' by Los Lobos (I don't really like the band too much, just that particular song) in one of the Balto movies, probably Wolf Quest. I luv that song!
'Through the chill of winter,
Running across a frozen lake,
Hunters hard right on his trail,
With a family to provide for,
But one thing he must keep alive,
Will the wolf survive?
Will the wolf survive?'
Just post the title and the chorus (or your favorite part) of that song.

I don't know which film this would fit in, but it sounds like a fit in, Carry On Wayward Son, by Kansas.
"Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done,
Lay your weery head to rest,
Now, don't you cry no more."
Don't think this sounds like a lyuaby (however you spell it), Because it's not.

Well.. the sound doesn't really fit, but the lyrics do, so I'll post it anyway. 
This would kinda fit with Balto and Jenna in Balto (1).
"When I'm With You" - By Simple Plan
'I wanna feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you,
I wanna be the only hand ya need to hold onto
But every time I call you don't have time,
I guess I'll never get to call you mine' 78-110711749712 Feb 2005, 23:24 UTC
Oo! Just thought of another one! This would probably work in Balto I
when he was having to travel through the wilderness... then again, it has several references to cars, so maybe it wouldn't. But maybe just in the background with Balto talking or something during the car parts... they do that in movies sometimes.
Anyway, it's 'Break Down Here' by Julie Roberts. Luv that song!
[Chorus:]
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin up ahead or in the rear-view mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin
God help me keep me movin somehow
Don't let me start wishin I was with him now
I've made it this far without cryin a single tear
I'd sure hate to break down here
[End of Chorus]
It's too late to turn around
I'd sure hate to break down here

This song would somewhat fit in with Balto setting out to find the team... but only a few lines, cause the song is really talking about leaving in a relationship, soo... :P
"I Won't Be There" - Simple Plan
'...and it won't take too long for you to notice,
Won't take long for you to find out that I'm gone.
I can't stay,
Tomorrow I'll be on my way,
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed,
Cause when you wake up,
I won't be there.'
Also... this one... actually, it just reminds me of Balto cause of the "lost without you"... but... it could work. IT COULD! XP
"I'm Lost Without You" - Blink182
'I swear that I can go on forever again
Please let me know that my one bad day will end
I will go down as your lover, your friend
Give me your lips and with one kiss, we begin...
Are you afraid of being alone?
Cause I am, I'm lost without you
Are you afraid of leaving tonight?
Cause I am, I'm lost without you'

"Stare at the Sun" by Thrice. The title and refrains can relate to Balto and wolves in general as they look skyward/to the sun when they howl ^_^. I plan on making a music video of the movie with this song...eventually lol
Anyway, the lyrics:
i sit here clutching useless lists
and keys for doors that don't exist
i crack my teeth on pearls
i tear into the history
just show me what it means to me in this world
'cause i am due for a miracle
i'm waiting for a sign
i'll stare straight into the sun
and i won't close my eyes
'til i understand or go blind
i see the parts but not the whole
i study saints and scholars both
no perfect plan unfurls
do i trust my heart or just my mind
why is truth so hard to find in this world
yeah in this world
'cause i am due for a miracle
i'm waiting for a sign
i'll stare straight into the sun
and i won't close my eyes
'til i understand or go blind
i know that there's a point I've missed
a shrine or stone i haven't kissed
a scar that never graced my wrist
a mirror that hasn't met my fist
but i can't help feeling that i'm
due for a miracle
i'm waiting for a sign
i'll stare straight into the sun
and i won't close my eyes

Ooh, nice un, Beo!
This fits for when Steele marked all the trees so Balto would get lost...*
"These Walls" - Trapt
'Something missing
Left behind
Searching circles
Everytime I try
I've been here before
I've seen you before
I can't escape
Winding down these halls
Have to find a place where there are no walls
...'
Y'know, any song can fit if you think hard enough.
*The part always confused me. If Balto was finding the team by scent in the first place, couldn't he get back by following HIS scent rather than Steele/the team's? o.O 69-110464574414 Feb 2005, 01:32 UTC
Well, this will fit the White Wolf scene the best, but several other parts of the movie too.
"A New Day Has Come" by Celine Dion.
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
So through darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
Where it was dark no there is light
Where there was pain, now there's joy
Where there was weakness I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it's almost blinding me
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come

Well, if you can remember, there was a long amount of time between the cliff-Steele-fight scene (which was after he found them) and when he actually started backtracking. A lot of snow fell, and a lot of wind swept the scent away by that time. After all, who knows how long Balto was lying there unconcious? Btw, GREAT song. I can definetly see how that would work.
And anyway, while I'm here, I think I've found yet another song: My Heart is Lost to You [By Brooks and Dunn] OK, so it has a VERY (completely, actually) Spanish/Latin-American beat and melody to it, but the words fit for jsut about any scene with Balto and Jenna.
''Maybe it was the moonlight
The scent of you on the breeze
Maybe it was your shadow that fell over me
Such a beautiful stranger
Eyes darker than coal
Your first look crossed the desert
Into my soul
Mi corazon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Maybe it was the music
The way it moved with your hair
Or the heat of the moment
That hung in the air
But when I saw you there dancing
Mesmerized by the gaze
There was some kind of magic
That led me away
Mi corazon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you
Mi corazon perdido en ti
My heart is lost to you
You have captured my love completely
My heart is lost to you
Oh my heart is lost to you''
I want to learn to play that on guitar SO bad, but I'm not experienced enough yet.75-110615482421 Feb 2005, 21:46 UTC
Its instrumental, but I think the theme to "Mystic River" would have fit in the first Balto.
78-110711749723 Feb 2005, 02:46 UTC
Lol, just a thought, but what about 'Into the West' by Annie Lennox from Lord of the Rings?! Great song, maybe not a very Balto kind of thing, but what can I say? I luv that song!
Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night is falling,
you have come to journey's end.
Sleep now,
and dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling
from across the distant shore.
Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
all of your fears will pass away,
safe in my arms
you're only sleeping.
What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do those white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.
Dawn will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass.
Hope fades
into the world of night
through shadows falling
out of memory and time.
Don't say,
"We have come now to the end."
White shores are calling
you and I will meet again.
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.
What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do those white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.
And all will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.
The melody to this song is amazing. If any of you have Windows Media, I would suggest listening in. 115-110950221427 Feb 2005, 16:33 UTC
I think that in Balto III there should be the classic song:
Scorpions Wind of Change
*whisthles
Folow the lost one,
Down to Gorky park
Lisening to the wind, of change
Another summer night soldiers passing by,
Lisening to the wind, of change
*whisthles
World is closing in
Did you ever think that we will ever be like brothers
Future's in the air, feelit everywhere
Blowing with the wind, of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
When the children of towmorrow dream away
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
.............................................. etc.
78-110650140327 Feb 2005, 19:10 UTC
This song reminds me tremendously of Steele. o.O Listen to it and you'll see. :P It's from the album Bleed American.
"Get It Faster" - Jimmy Eat World
I don't care what you do.
I'm getting out , no nothing ever shames me.
Don't wanna thing from you
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I should've thought things through.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I wanna do right by you.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, not getting an answer.
I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster.
I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.
I don't care what you do.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
Don't wanna thing from you.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I should've thought things through.
Yeah I'm holding out, but not getting an answer.
I wanna do right by you.
I'm finding out that cheating gets it faster.
I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me.
I'm going out, I don't care if you're angry.
I holding out, but not getting an answer.
I'm finding out, cheating gets it faster.

I think that for some scenes in the movie the song of Nightwish - Moondance can fit in nicley. (no lyrics only sounds)
87-110773702002 Mar 2005, 17:22 UTC
Well I think they should play Christofori's Dream in one of the Balto movies. There are no lyrics to this song, just the meleody. I think they should add this song as a background music. If you want to, check out the song here on this website:
You may want to turn up the volume, as it is the background music of the website.
Christofori's Dream 78-110711749709 Mar 2005, 03:14 UTC
You're right, Neon Flash, that really does work for Steele. I could also see it in Balto III because everybody's talking about getting the mail in faster. But I does work better for Steele, maybe in the scene where he's marking the other trees.
75-111045797921 Mar 2005, 04:04 UTC
I can't think of anything for the original movie, but if they make one about Balto's past, I can see 'Learn to be Lonely' by Minnie Driver playing after Balto's orphand:
'Learn to be Lonely'
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
life can be lived
life can be loved
Alone.
And if it's a musicul, I can see Aniu singing this after Balto's father bites the big one:
My Immortal Lyrics
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]

Perfect World By Simple Plan..I can't think of any specific scene this would work in coinsidence with but check out this verse.... I however do think it fits the first one in some way...Anyhowl, On to the lyrics brige I mentioned!
----------------------------------------------
"I don�t know what I should do now
I don�t know where I should go
I�m still here waiting for you
I�m lost when you�re not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can�t let you go"
-----------------------------------
See what I'm saying....
75-111045797922 Mar 2005, 14:03 UTC
Actually, I could see that in two scenes: 1) when Muk, Luk and Boris are taking Jenna back to Nome, and 2) When Steele says Balto is dead.
78-110711749722 Mar 2005, 20:47 UTC
That really fits... I can definitly see both of those in there.
75-109926563801 Apr 2005, 21:25 UTC
I think Fly by Hilary Duff works perfect 4 Wings of Change!
Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,
Any moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try,
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
In a moment, everything can change.

Well, for B3, especially when Balto's in the plane, perhaps I'm Alive by Celine Dion...
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I got wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive
You've set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight cause I'm alive
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you reach for me
Raising spirits high God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life
When you call on me
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly I feel that
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive
I get wings to fly
God knows that I'm alive
78-110711749705 Apr 2005, 21:25 UTC
I REALLY wish that somebody would put ''White Flag'' in Balto 1. OK, maybe not, but anyways:
I will go down with this ship.
I won't put my hands up and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door.
Of course, the next line goes on as:
I'm in love and always will be.
So I don't know if that would work, except for maybe when Balto's sitting on his boat thinking about Jenna. Of course, I love the music they have going at that part, so maybe not. Just a suggestion.
75-111045797907 Apr 2005, 11:12 UTC
Maybe it would fit when Balto's sitting on his boat watching the sled team run off to get the Anti-Toxin. As for that lyric about him being in love, let's think:
While Balto is mostly Optimistic, that him saying Jenna 'wasn't his type' because he was half wolf shows he can be quite pessimistic and cynical. So it's within the relms of probability that he thought that after the team came back Steele would be the hero, Jenna would go for him, yadda yadda yadda and Balto would have less then diddly squat.
78-110711749707 Apr 2005, 18:53 UTC
Makes sense to me. That's kind of what I was thinking, too, or the scene right before Boris does the Mombo.
83-106196071107 Apr 2005, 19:29 UTC
Where could ABBAs The Winner Takes It All been used?
I don't wanna talk
about the things we've gone through
though it's hurting me
now it's history
I've played all my cards
and that's what you've done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play
The winner takes it all
the loser standing small
beside the victory
that's her destiny
I was in your arms
thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
building me a fence
building me a home
thinking I'd be strong there
but I was a fool
playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
their minds as cold as ice
and someone way down here
loses someone dear
the winner takes it all
the loser has to fall
it's simple and it's plain
why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
like I used to kiss you
does it feel the same
when she calls your name
somewhere deep inside
you must know I miss you
but what can I say
rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
the likes of me abide
spectators of the show
always staying low
the game is on again
a lover or a friend
a big thing or a small
the winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
if it makes you feel sad
and I understand
you've come to shake my hand
I apologize
if it makes you feel bad
seeing me so tense
no self-confidence
But you see
the winner takes it all
