When you become emotional just listening to Alison sing, then you know that you're in the presence of greatness. The level of talent on that stage is simply astonishing.
What a song..... Hits hard for anyone with a breakup. "Yesterday's gone.... Now all I want is a smile...." That last sentence hits you hard... (MUSIC OCD: the instrumental arrangements themselves is dynamite!! carefully listen to each instrument and the background. Especially the end bit, a sprinkling of something.. don't know which instrument it is. But the combo is magic. Who comes up with these arrangements is an absolute genius!!! many people if not everyone forgets to appreciate the music instrument arrangements... by a music OCD
such a dramatic turning point in that movie: when the agent realized that he was really something special, and needed to get his music, HIS WAY, out there....of course, doesn't hurt that it was one of his greatest compositions....
My beautiful late ladies favourite song . I still hear her sing this. I was with her for 20 years and last year breast cancer took her. I miss her everyday and the pain is shocking. I pray to put my arms around her once again. I will always love you my princess x
