1) When Noah and Allie Meet (Anywhere But Here by Safetysuit) media type="youtube" key="qE9ljDFcm08" height="344" width="425"
 * Analysis:** When Noah and Allie meet, the lyrics fit perfectly with the scene. When he sees her, he becomes attracted to Allie and the song starts off doubting the attraction but becomes hopeful which foreshadows the scene because Allie does agree to go on a date with Noah. The music contributes to Noah's feelings which helps the audience understand the character's inner motives and emotions.

2) Noah and Allie goes on dates (First time by Lifehouse) media type="youtube" key="8bPpLLhKY7E" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** In the movie, when Noah and Allie go on their numerous dates, it shows the transition from each date. Since it is a new feeling, I chose First Time by Lifehouse because it shows how their love can be fun for the very first time. The music contributes to the overall atmosphere of Noah and Allie's relationship.

3) Noah & Allie are on the boat (Everything by Lifehouse) media type="youtube" key="f1tVk-QlBKs" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** I chose this song because it was very appropriate for the scene. When Noah and Allie are on the boat, there is a very calm atmosphere and the audience wants to see them together even though Allie has a fiance waiting for her. The song is also very slow and shows the beauty of love which contributes to the film's atmosphere and it will move the audience.

4) Noah is alone (Use Somebody by Kings of Leon) media type="youtube" key="MRgFeZa_I48" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** After Allie moved away, Noah had been heartbroken and has been sending letters to Allie which he thinks that she has been ignoring all this time. Since he has become depressed, the scene where he is fixing the roof, the song, Use Somebody by Kings of Leon contributes to his inner emotions. The lyrics portray a sense of loneliness and it shows in the scene that he is lonely. Overall, the song provides a heightened sense of Noah's vulnerability.

5) Allie and her new fiance Lon are dancing (Spiraling by Keane) media type="youtube" key="7ld_kGKgHRQ" height="340" width="560"


 * Analysis:** When Allie and her new fiance Lon are dancing, Spiraling by Keane seemed to be the appropriate choice. The song is very upbeat and has lots of rhythms that people would dance to which gets the audience hyped up and adds to the overall atmosphere of the film. It makes the scene much more colorful and alive.

6) When Noah and Allie dance together in the streets (I'll be by Edwin Mccain) media type="youtube" key="CMiVeK5zGz8" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** When Noah and Allie dance together in the streets, it is their first date. I'll be by Edwin Mccain makes the scene much more beautiful because the lyrics are very meaningful and appropriate to the start of Allie and Noah's relationship.

7) Noah & Allie dance when they're old (Your Hand In Mine by Explosions in the Sky) media type="youtube" key="JzIK5FaC38w" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** One of the reasons why I chose an instrumental song for this scene is because I thought that even though there were not much dialogue in the scene, the instrumental song would provide a sense of calamity and tranquility that would show how their relationship grew until they were of old age.

8) Noah & Allie beach scene (Young Forever ft. Mr. Hudson by Jay Z) media type="youtube" key="UrD_AUXgTCE" height="340" width="560"


 * Analysis:** When Noah and Allie are together on the beach, Young Forever ft. Mr. Hudson by Jay Z provides a sense of youth that would complement well with Noah and Allie's relationship. In the scene, they seem very carefree and the song contributes to the overall theme of the scene which is youth that would remain intact as long as they are together.

9) When Allie chooses Noah (Look after you by The Fray) media type="youtube" key="PUlONdkaB_Y" height="344" width="425"
 * Analysis:** At the end of the movie when Allie chooses Noah, Look after you by The Fray seemed like the most appropriate choice to complement in the scene. The song starts off with a rhythmic beat and lyrics that gives the audience the idea that their love is guaranteed to be forever and they will always look after each other.

10) Ending Scene, where Noah and Allie are dead together (May Angels Lead you/Here You Me In by Jimmy Eat World) media type="youtube" key="9pQo9OQlIB8" height="344" width="425"


 * Analysis:** This is at the very last scene of the film where Noah and Allie are lying on the bed dead together. At first, I thought that a sad song would be appropriate for the scene but I chose May Angels Lead You In by Jimmy Eat World because their love is immortal and the song provides hope for the audience that Noah and Allie's love will remain intact forever.
