Evgeni’s Waltz


“Evgeni’s Waltz” is a composition written by Abel Korzeniowski for the movie W.E.  W.E. is a 2011 British romantic drama film co-written and directed by Madonna that tells the story of two women—Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson—separated by more than six decades. Madonna had decided to sign Korzeniowski for composing W.E.’s score after hearing his work on the soundtrack for the 2009 drama film, A Single Man. The singer recalled that she was “struck by the score’s ‘bittersweet’ qualities, this melancholic, romantic, sweeping emotional kind of heartbreak.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence


Thank you Geoff Clow @ Gorgeous Company for introducing me to Ryuichi Sakamoto and this tune which can be found on his album titled 1996 at this link.  Sakamato achieved his artistic and commercial breakthrough with his acclaimed score to the film of the same name: Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.  The film was entered into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme d’Or. Sakamoto’s score also won the film a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.

January Rain


David Gray drove me into the office this morning with “January Rain“…One of the sound tracks from the movie Serendipity.  Gray and this tune are both long time favorites.  And yes, it was raining on a misty, dreary January morning…yet, I find it impossible not to be inspired by this music.

Meet me by the water…
