Unchained Melody

**Unchained Melody** by *Todd Duncan* (*The Righteous Brothers version*) is featured in Film Do It's, the thirty-first episode of To The Next Level. It is sung by Jake and Ryder.

Jake and Ryder partner up for the Film Duets assignment and draw "Unchained Melody" from *Ghost* as their song, which was submitted by Julie. They decide to recreate the pottery scene from the movie, only rather than romantically singing to each other, they bring in Julie to recreate the scene with Jake, while fantasizing about doing it with Ryder. The video is told as Julie's fantasy sequence and features Julie being serenaded by Jake but kissing Ryder. During the filming, Julie is thinking about her mother but snaps out of it in time to realize she might be leading Ryder on before being ready to be in a relationship with him.

At the end of the screenings, Emma chooses Jake and Ryder as the winners of the competition, allowing to choose the setlist for their Spring Showcase in Sorting Hat.

The song is sung again by Jason Bliss in The High Road.

## Lyrics

**Jake:**

Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

I need your love

I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

**Jake with Ryder:**

Lonely rivers flow

To the sea, to the sea

To the open arms of the sea, yeah

Lonely rivers sigh

Wait for me, wait for me

I'll be coming home

**Jake:**

Wait for me

**Ryder:**

Wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling

I've hungered, hungered for your touch

A long lonely time

**Jake:**

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

**Jake (and Ryder):**

I (need your love)

**Jake:**

I, I need your love (**Ryder:** I need your love)

Godspeed your love (**Ryder:** Godspeed your love)

To (**Ryder:** To)

**Jake and Ryder:**

Me

**Ryder:**

Yeah

**Jake:**

Ooh

Ooooh

## Unchained Melody

### By:

Todd Duncan (The Righteous Brothers version)

### Chapter:

The High Road

Jason Bliss sings a solo version of the song in The High Road, the sixty-fifth chapter of Push to the Limit. He performs it on Starmaker during the second live show as part of his Last Chance performance.

During Jason's performance, Julie remembers Jake and Ryder's video and remembers that as the week she found out about her mother's cancer, as well as first started talking to Alex. She feels bad about letting all the recent drama get in the way of her ten-year friendship with Alex and begins to miss her mother, thinking she'd know what she should do about all her current troubles.

Jason's performance impresses everyone in the audience, but ultimately Xavier eliminates him from the competition. Julie's connection to the song, however, leads her to save him and bring him onto her team.
