#showertune: ‘all my days’ by alexi murdoch
last night
i rewatched Sam Mendes’ under-appreciated romantic comedy Away We Go.
it had exactly the same effects on me as it had the first time (at the cinema) – smiling, laughing, wistful remembering, hopeful reflection, tears.
i call it a romantic comedy because it’s genuinely romantic and very funny (two characteristics which are curiously under-represented in what usually passes for the contents of the genre).
i throughly recommend that you buy the dvd for a friend for xmas, or, better still, ask them to buy it for you.
today’s #showertune comes from the opening/closing sequences of the film and is the beautiful Nick Drake tribute All My Days by Alexi Murdoch
Yes indeedy. Love the film (fond if sad memories of that first viewing), and love a bit of Alexi. A good shout mon ami.
ahhh, just saw this. This whole album is an absolute delight, excellent choice!
