Flying - "The Business of Miracles", Life NBC

For anyone else who watched NBC's Life, episode 203 on NBC Rewind, "The Business of Miracles," then wondered what amazing song was playing while Crews hallucinates.

It's a track called Flying on the albumn "This is Indlie" compiled by Terence Fontaine, Sonic Quiver Music.

Come and take my hand my darling
Take my hand and walk with me
There is nothing we can't fight now
If we close our eyes and see
Together we are flying
...
So you know that life is hard dear
And the world can bring you down
But if we hold on to each other
...
(Yeah) Together we are flying
Together we are so complete

Mama Mia

Apparently I know a lot more Abba songs than I originally thought I knew. A certain number of the bands that I like to listen to nowadays cover them with constant proficiency…

This movie was a strange romp through musical-land that left me staring in blank horror at times and snickering through my sleeve at other times. A lot of the songs felt forced, like the scene was designed deliberately to fit the music that was about to flow into it—but for the most part it was fun an amusing.

This movie definitely kept my attention to the end.

Also, Pierce Brosnan singing felt really strange.

My editor, Djen, believes that it would have been a much better movie if the main character’s mother and her friends had been played instead by drag queens. I don’t know that I entirely agree, but it would have definitely lend a better handle onto the surreal quality of the story.
