Juxtaposition....

[poltr1]

As I was listening to the MP3 of "Legend of the Warrior" this morning, and Mercury was shamelessly sucking up to me, I had my computer keyboard on the side of the computer. As it fell over (gravity happens, y'know?), it pressed the eject button on one of the CD drives. Twice. All of a sudden, I started hearing the opening music to Bryan Ferry's "Is Your Love Strong Enough", the first track on the soundtrack to "Legend" featuring Tangerine Dream. (In the US version of the film, this song plays during the closing credits.) While Grandfather is talking about taking one more step, the words of the other song started to begin, "Just one step at a time".

And there's no media player or CD player process running.

Maybe it's a sign.

As I'm writing this, I'm flashing back to Ken Nordine's show on NPR, "Now, Nordine", because he used to do a lot of this type of musical juxtaposition on his show.



Is Your Love Strong Enough
Bryan Ferry
1985

(Lyrics from http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/bryan_ferry/is_your_love_strong_enough.html)

Just one step at a time
And closer to destiny
I knew at a glance
There'd always be a chance for me
With someone I could live for
Nowhere I would rather be

Is your love strong enough
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?

Just one beat of your heart
And stranger than fantasy
I knew from the start
It had to be the place for me
Someone that I would die for
There's no way I could ever leave

Is your love strong enough
Like a rock in the sea
Am I asking too much
Is your love strong enough?

Is your love strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?
Is your love strong enough?

Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
Strong enough?
Strong enough?
Just one beat of your heart
