It's December 24th, 2020, almost 11pm and I'm in my living room crying while I drink a glass of wine and miss my mother so much. And I understand Kathleen Kelly's sadness that night. To anyone who might read me: Happy Holidays 🎄❤️ You've made it.
Back in 2002 my life was pretty much like what was happening in the movie. This song reminds me of that moment when everything came to a crashing halt around me. Up till then I was happy with everything that I had, but yet there was something that was from the marriage. After 13 up and down years we went separate ways. Things were changing around me. But I didn't want it to change I was happy with who I was and who I was with and where I was at in life. Which is much like Meg Ryan's character in the movie. Fast-forward to 2006 I met the love of my life. We went out on one date and we've been together ever since. So this song is pretty special to me because it reminds me of where I used to be and how I got to where I am today.
Wherever you are right now, another random person is wishing you well. Thanks for saying all you did - it helps those who come after you on this strange trail and happen to see what you wrote in the log book.
This song, 'Remember', by Harry Nillson is something special. It evokes a warmth of feelings that are palpable. Wonderful and brilliant composition! Nothing but love!
Finally found this, 23 years later, even though this was posted 10 years ago. This was a film from my youth, and I, for some reason, remembered this piece of music, which I would later learn was Harry Nilsson's original Remember. Not only did the film have a lasting impact on me, but the fact that I was still trying to find the version of the song played in it, in 2022, speaks much about the impression it had on me.
Harry Nilsson had just one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I sing a little and I can state unequivocally this is incredibly hard to sing. Harry made it sound so easy...
Dieses Lied "Remember" macht den Film zu einer der schönsten Liebesgeschichten, der Filmgeschichte. Meg und Tom, schrieben mit diesem Film ein wares Epos. Danke.
I am happily married yet I still think of my friend daily. I remember the days when we were all happy, laughing, and singing at her place with her husband, then it all fell apart. I see her from time to time but it all seems so different now. Now I only remember the good times. Can I ask you what happened? Hang in there!
Hate to be that guy, but this isn't composed by George Fenton for You've Got Mail, it's a semi-karaoke version of "Remember (Christmas)" by Harry Nilsson USED in You've Got Mail. It sounds like an adapted version of the song for the score does kick in around 2:00 though. Aside from that technicality, great song, great movie.
Great Escape Movie. That is what is really about. Romance. The escape the blissful feeling that you get because the realities of who you are and what a potential partner is all about is in the future. This is why romance movies are such big sellers. Because during the romance all the bitch'in and the moaning, the insane jealousy, lack of trust, the throwing up in your face something that happened 6-9 months before during an argument never shows up. Much of relationships seems to be about battles. I just want the intimacy without the garbage!!!!
