Everybody's gotta learn sometime

Beck

Tonight's bohemian lullaby is brought to you by Beck and the brilliant movie 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'That movie means so much to me. Every time I watch it I am reminded that everyone I have ever had a relationship with, either as a friend or a significant other, has left an impression on me. And no matter how badly some of these relationships ended, I would NEVER 'erase' the memories of those days we spent together. The great times and the life experience garnered far outweighs the heartache and bitterness you may feel.If my horrendous 2006 taught me anything its that everything happens for a reason, believe it or not. And sometimes opportunity is cloaked in tragedy...and when these fleeting moments of opportunity reveal themselves, you have to bust through and take your shot...or you will wonder 'what if' for the rest of your life...and I can't imagine a worse fate.Dream big or don't dream at all...

Betherz247 says such a great song! I haven't heard it in forever, I used to play all the time as the last song before I'd leave when I used to DJ

Marco1019 says Take it from someone who didn't take shots for a long time: Asking yourself, "What if...?", is the worst thing you can do to yourself. It's much better to lay it all out there and be able to say to yourself, "Well, at least I made an honest effort. Win, lose, or draw." Failure isn't the result of not reaching your goals. Rather, it's the result of not making an effort to reach your goals. Keep swinging. Your friend, Marco

tybees says I just gotta say that I feel you right now...??sometimes opportunity is cloaked in tragedy??...that's so true for all of us. We all "what if" all the time, even those of us who ??really?? go for it. I believe that great things are in store for all of us - whether ambitious or not, it will come.

Keep the faith.

Beck stuck pretty much to the original version from The Korgis circa 1980. Wonderful film and a great soundtrack except the previews gave me the impression that "Mr. Blue Sky" figured into the film's soundtrack. I wish film studios and their marketing departments would quit using music in their ads that aren't in the motion picture.

Any film score from Jon Brion is going to make a wonderful cinematic experience.
