Somewhere over the rainbow It was in the Britain's Got Talent that I heared this song. Lovely Connie Talbot was moving everyone. Especially, When she refered to it's her grandmother's favorite, and she always sang for her, I cried with happiness. The most simple, however, is the most touching. It has been used as a film song in many romantic movies, such as "You've got mail", "Pretty Woman" and so on. It seems that it usually occurres at or near the end of the movie, so as to present the happy ending. When the dream comes true, the music turns on, you can feel the light of love and hope. You may think just you dare to think and to act, it goes for yourself! "Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true…“ Even some dreams can not come true, we should still have dreams, which make our living more fully and more interseting.

Somewhere over the rainbow

It was in the Britain's Got Talent that I heared this song. Lovely Connie Talbot gave a very moving performance. In particular, when she referred to it as her grandmother's favorite, and she always sang it for her, I cried with happiness.

You should see how this track is used in the film "Permanent Vacation" by Jim Jarmusch (director). It starts from sirens of a fire engine (or ambulance, 我忘记了) then overlaps into the intro of this song as if it's the same track. Totally mind-blowing! btw, my all-time favorite soundtrack is "The way we were" by Barbra Streisand: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/RiAnDIc9aEQ/

This is the original version. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HRa4X07jdE After this movie was made there was actually quite a bit of arguement as to whether it was made as political propaganda. Today there is still some debate about that... but it remains one of my all-time favorite films. Enjoy.
