   I’ve always loved this song, and I love the instrumental version they put together for the soundtrack as well.

   drainpip, indeed the instrumental version is just lovely…

   But I do agree with Matthew this song is ever so sexy with Gordon’s vocals. And no that is not weird. ;)

   rachel,
   i am in awe of the consistency of your posting and how much i love pretty much everything you put up. i was just wondering — i don’t see an archive on your site to go back further than your ten most recent…am i just not seeing it? i want to go back further, especially to see what was all-time favorite number 1!

   Ok well you ask and you shall receive :)

   Thank you!

   i love this tune, too. i only discovered it lately, but it’s definitely got a fantastic groove thing going on. i love the sax part, especially.

   well that was easy! i’ll have to think of more things to ask for ;-)

   anyway–woo hoo(!) that esotsm was all-time favorite #1! i had a sneaky feeling that it might have been, considering what great taste you have

   and now i see that you linked it for me in your beck post comments–sorry for the unnecessary inconvenience :-)

   In an obvious way, all I need (sigh) is Air, and they take me to a very special place full of smiles, laughter and, erm, oh yeah, suicide… :)

   Lovely post Rachel, you’ve a great way of capturing the important bits in a sound, a film and a moment.

   For example, ‘fan-fucking-tastic’ was my exact thought after I saw Lost In Translation as well. :)

   That is a wonderful song. I haven’t seen The Virgin Suicides in forever. I must see it again soon.

   And I’m just the opposite – I hated Lost in Translation when I first saw it. Seeing it again on DVD made me appreciate it more I think.

    Geez what a day…It is 9pm and I am just now able to respond and browse the net…

    mjrc, I love the sax too! It is just so lovely, one of the reasons this song is a fav. :)

    tad, no inconvienence I didn’t even realize I linked to it…Did I? I don’t see it…OMG I am losing my mind and so are you! ;)

    w.a.fading, thank you. I knew you would love this post tis a factor in my reasons for posting. :)

    Andy, you must indeed. And I find it interesting that you felt the opposite…I saw it three times in the theatre and loved it each time…Then saw it when it came out on DVD and I was just, ehhhh…
    Hmmm everything is relative I suppose.

    I just picked up the film The Virgin Suicides last week since I am very excited about Sophia’s current film being based on Antonia Frasier’s alt historical account. I suspect regardless of whether or not we like a particular film that she puts out in the future, we will enjoy the music since she has some great choices in her soundtracks. Having said that, I think she is going to put out some really fine films in her lifetime. Thanks for the post!

    Yes, those Air blokes have grown on me, I must admit. Started off thinking they were glorified muzak, but have long since revised this benighted opinion.

    And two more films for the DVD list…

    Dearest Wife just finished Middlesex by Eugenides, and praised it fulsomely
