I watched True Romance, one of my favorite movies of all time, last night.
I’m going to write about the movie itself at a later date, but right now I want to share a link to Chris Isaak’s Two Hearts, the song that director Tony Scott chose to accompany the closing credits.
I turned the DVD player off around eleven p.m. last night and then sat at my computer here in my little home office with my guitar for two more hours listening and signing along to Two Hearts… over and over again.
Ridiculous, eh?
Well, this song made me feel like I was 18 again instead of 61 plowing rapidly toward 62.
Today when I should have been working, I spent several more hours thinking about how this song was constructed, and how the lyrics worked so well with the music.
The whole thing just comes together like a perfect waffle.
I mean, seriously, Two Hearts is quite remarkable on multiple levels.
Listen to it and then share a few comments of your own, will you?
Chris Isaak is amazing in all areas – I love his music and as a teenager had a big poster of him on my wall. True Romance is a great movie. 10 years ago it was one of the movies I could see over and over again – together with Leaving Las Vegas.
