The song played low on the radio, it had an almost tinny quality like it was being piped through a loud speaker.
Unconsciously Leah started to sway to the music as she cleaned the old beans from the coffee machine. She was a girl easily lost to daydreams and the familiarity of things remembered from her subconscious.
The bell above the door rang and turning around almost as if in slow motion she noticed him for the first time, his face unknown yet familiar at the same time.
‘Hey’ he said, ‘Don’t I know you?’
She smiled. A perk of the job.

I’m so in love with this song. I still remember sitting in the theater, refusing to budge from my seat until the very last note as hurried philistines shuffled around me. I had to play it all the way through before I could read, sorry!

I hear you. I’d actually heard it before I saw the movie and fell in love with it even then.
I love soundtracks. Have a listen to Disa – New World Coming :)

I really admired the way you captured the melancholy and regretful yet simultaneously hopeful (it’s hard to put it into words!) feel of the song – thanks for taking part!
