Smallville Music Theme Song, Soundtrack and Ringtones

“Somebody save me, Let your waters break right through, Somebody save me.”To some those words may look like nothing more than lyrics to an unknown song, but to fans of the television show “Smallville,” they are much more than that. They are what mark the beginning of a new adventure that fans sit down to experience once a week. Like music on any television show or movie the Smallville music is what gives the television show more of a cinematic element, or in other words, a step up from reality.

There have been many different songs featured during each episode of “Smallville,” but the theme song is the epitome of all the Smallville music. When fans hear that song they come running to their television sets. The name of the theme song is “Save Me” and it is preformed by a band called Remy Zero. The song doesn’t have any specific mention to the show, but fits along with it quite well. After all, the show’s main character is Superman, whose life work is to go around and save people who are in trouble. Even though the song ties in with the show, it isn’t the first and last word in the book of Smallville music.

“Smallville” has also released two soundtrack albums with songs featured on or inspired by the show. The first Smallville soundtrack album is called Smallville Vol. 1: The Talon Mix. The album was released in 2003 and features twelve songs from the television show including “Save Me.” Smallville Vol. 2: Metropolis Mix is the name of the second Smallville soundtrack album. The album has fourteen tracks on it and it was released on November 8, 2005. Even though a lot of the songs have been previously released on other albums, none of them were on the first soundtrack album.

Unfortunately, not all of the Smallville music could be featured on the Smallville soundtracks. There have been many other popular artists who have had their music featured during the show. The list of songs and artists that could be categorized as Smallville music is a long one. Lifehouse, Sum 41, Fuel, the Pussycat Dolls, and Alien Ant Farm are just a few of the popular artists that have had music on the show. However, being Smallville music hasn’t gotten any of these artists any camera time, none of them have appeared on the show. At least getting their music onto an episode gets some of these Smallville music the exposure it needs. For some people, being able to relive their favorite Smallville music anywhere with access to a CD player just isn’t enough.

How can one have the opportunity to hear Smallville music anytime they want, no matter what? Now there are even ringtones available which feature Smallville music. Smallville ringtones are easy to find and the process of downloading them onto a phone is just as easy. Like most ringtones, they are available through the Internet. For people that don’t have Internet access on their cell phones, they can access sites like ringringmobile.com or ringerman.com from their home computers. After selecting the name of their service provider and finding the song, a person just has to submit their cell phone number and the ringtone will reach the phone momentarily. It’s good to see that even when technology is moving faster than a speeding bullet, the man of steel has no problem keeping up.

“Smallville” is the build up to the fictional superhero that has been admired and praised since the character first hit comic books and the public eye in 1938. The Superman on “Smallville” is the teenage Clark Kent, before he becomes the superhero in the red cape with the big letter S on his chest. “Smallville” is basically a prequel to just about everything else that been broadcast or published about Superman. Smallville music could be considered the soundtrack to Clark Kent’s life during his adolescent years. The song “Save Me” may be the big one when it comes to Smallville music, but it is also a foreshadowing to the legend that is Superman. Can the public expect more Smallville music to come, possibly a third soundtrack? Not even Superman himself could answer that question right now.
