I listened to the Greatest Hits of Bread over and over again. I can't hear a Bread song without feeling vulnerable. Gone with the Wind also has a soundtrack for me.... Best of Three Dog Night, which was looping endlessly on my 8-track when I read that book. I tend to be a compulsive about stuff I love.Random Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424966921651648450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158666145761539419.post-88227677656373843472010-05-28T08:35:08.146-06:002010-05-28T08:35:08.146-06:00Glinda - video game music?

Although, someone I follow on Twitter has recently turned me on to video game music - and I'm not a gamer.<br /><br />Loved the soundtrack to City of Angels. I saw the original film it was based on, Wings of Desire. It had a totally different ending, so the end of C of A really shocked me.Glinda Harrisonhttp://glindaharrison.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158666145761539419.post-86579865089128986752010-05-27T21:01:10.878-06:002010-05-27T21:01:10.878-06:00Random - GREAT songs!

I think that's just when he starts paying attention to what I'm listening to :-) <br /><br />Thanks Lola! A tricky question - he seemed distracted and GUESSED the ending (gasp) but today mentioned something about the "beautiful" movie we watched together. He's either bribing me for a back rub or he's had the movie on his brain today.Dawn Iushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546425873531022196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158666145761539419.post-56096231646153304822010-05-27T20:18:11.610-06:002010-05-27T20:18:11.610-06:00Oh, I haven't watched City of Angels in ages. ...Oh, I haven't watched City of Angels in ages. <br /><br />Did you husband like it?

James Taylor - How Sweet It Is, Wings - Listen to What the Man Said and (shamefully) Muskrat Love by Captain & Tennile.

Voice of an angel...<br /><br />Wendy - I have a friend who wrote a book in that time period and found the hits of that decade to be quite inspirational. How fun!<br /><br />Suzanne - when I write, I kind of prefer songs I don't know very well. If I'm REALLY in the zone, I can zone out pretty much everything (except 24 of course). <br /><br />Sugar - it IS a great movie. Definitely one of my top "chick flicks" - though my list keeps growing.
