“Somewhere Out There” is a song written by James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. [1]
“Somewhere Out There” (often mistakenly called “Falling Back to Me” and “Gravity”) is a 2002 single by Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace from the album Gravity. [2]
The song was sung by Phillip Glasser (for the character of the brother in the film) and Betsy Cathcart (for the character of the sister). [...] A professionally sung version performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram was also recorded for the closing credits. [1]
The correct title of the song is indeed “Somewhere Out There”, however the specific chorus lyrics “defying gravity” and the fact that the album is titled Gravity, led some to believe that the title of the song was “Gravity”. [2]
At the Grammy Awards of 1988, the song won two awards, one for Song of the Year and the other for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television. [...] In fact, it was one of the last Gold singles to be released on 45 only. [1]
It was the most successful single of that album and is also the most internationally successful single ever released by Our Lady Peace. [...] Many critics praised the single, but some also criticized it for being “too mainstream”, saying that the artistic uniqueness that Our Lady Peace possessed in former albums was absent here. [2]
It also earned an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award nomination in 1986 for Best Original Song, but lost to “Take My Breath Away ” both times. [...] It was later certified Gold for sales of more than 1 million copies sold in the United States. [1]

[...] In 2007, the beginning riff of the song was featured in a TV ad for the Fox television network. [...] This is also Steve Mazur’s first appearance in the band since former lead guitarist Mike Turner left to form Fair Ground. [...] Most of the video focuses on a woman who climbs to the top of a speaker tower and then throws herself off, being caught by the crowd. [2]
