Maybe I've heard this song before and never realised, but tonight I really heard it, out of nowhere, and in the most unlikely place, in the most incongruous situation. And it hit me like a ton of bricks. And when I tried to find it online, the best version I could find on youtube was even more American, as you'll see. America, the good, the bad and the sad. It reminds me of Whit Stillman's Barcelona, which everyone should see. (If you have seen it, you can relive the sweet conclusion here. If you haven't seen it, don't spoil it for yourself, rent it and watch it beginning to end. One of the best reflections on the USA and/vs. the world anywhere, in any form).
