WNL-XII

I know the name of this project is Wednesday Night Lyrics. However, there are some songs out there where words would only serve as a distraction. The melody, the tempo and the instrumentation join to tell the story instead. I think tonight's song fits perfectly into that category, so please forgive me as I deviate from normal programming just a bit.

This week's song is Lane's Theme by Bill Conti from the movie "8 Seconds." The movie came out in 1994, which was one of the big years in my life. I lost two grandparents that year. I got my first truck. I took my first big trip alone -- to Space Academy. I took Megan Adams to see 8 Seconds. I wrecked my first truck. So often, life seems to be on cruise control and it's hard to tell if the world is moving or not. But then, a period of time comes along where you experience so much change that you practically see it as it happens. 1994 was one of those years for me. I came out of it much different than I went in.

(Here's the link to the song if the embeded player doesn't load.)

That was so pretty. I listened three times, thank you.

was curious about ODEO but they don't allow uploads of my music. most of the stuff I'd like to share can't be found in places like that.

Four times now.

You're welcome. That's why I felt that if I was going to have have a song without lyrics in Wednesday Night Lyrics, this would be the one to lead with. It is by far, one of my all-time favorites. Granted, by the time this project is over, you will have heard dozens of my all-time favorites... but this is top of the heap stuff here.

Man, I remember that tune surprisingly well.
Two old friends of mine and I used to always re-enact the "Lane vs. Tuff Shuffle" from that movie whenever we'd hear When Will I Be Loved.
That flick was on cable a few weekends back, and watching it brought back good memories. I've still got it on VHS...if the tape still works.

I saw it on cable, too. I own the DVD. Granted, it seems to get a bit more cheezy every time I watch it... I still love it for all that it represents from that time in my life.
