it transports you to a world of intrigue and romance and nostalgia and longing...
but have to listen to the movie version (the youtube one) bc the other recordings don't have the same impact! love that it's not even every version of the song that does it for me, that it's a very specific captured moment.
and nancy sings semi-flat the whole time yet somehow no one else can sing this song right.

This is a song by Nancy Wilson -
there is a dreamy, glamorous, confident Knowingness about it that is just entrancing to me. Really makes me feel like I’m twirling in kitchen sunlight even when I’m mopping the floor of a bar

it's the soft way she comes in in the beginning, and the even softer way her repetitions start. she just gets it every time! a true emotional arc, her technical and emotional command is superb.

when the day didn't exactly go your way and you crack an egg for dinner and you get a double yolk, it's like someone's looking out for you 👀💘

I can legitimately say I would not be the same person I am now if I had never seen Amelie. there's this episode of This American Life called "Spark Bird" - the bird that first sparks someone's interest in/obsession with birding - well I like to refer to "spark movies" and Amelie was it for me. it showed me what cinema could do. I had never seen a movie that encapsulated my worldview but also how I wanted the world to be and look. seeing it as a teenager probably had a lot to do with it - the longing, the quirkiness - but the visual/artist part of me realized movies could do and express things I never thought possible and never had words or images for. it was like a floodgate opened, it was my gateway drug to more movies, art, music, and the way I experienced myself in the world. it was so formative for me it's like my brain soaked it up and I can't help that it's always there permeating everything with more whimsy, flair, and color ✨
