The original music score for the 1998 film "What Dreams May Come" was composed by Ennio Morricone but was dropped.
This Youube clip is a piece of music which was intended for that film and is called "Love Eternal".

Sung by Edda Del'Orso. She sung the beautiful piece of music in "Once Upon a Time in the West " and there are similarities.

Blimey! that was so soothing I almost nodded off El

Here's a clip from "Once Upon a Time in the West". It's an 8 minute scene showing Jill's arrival. The key music part is at 2 minutes 30 seconds in:

Although the film is unlikely to be one that you would want to watch, Slim, that scene is worth watching. There is no violence during that scene. The director Sergio Leone and the composer Ennio Morricone worked together so closely for this film that this scene is regarded by many as the perfect fusion of film and music.

Possibly the best coordination between cinema and music El - that film was an opera         



Stone cold all time classic it was       



Hope all are M74

All's OK here, Velvet

The other film where the film and the music are coordinated in a similar way is "Alexander Nevsky" (1938) directed by Sergei Eisenstein  and music composed by Sergei Prokofiev. Outstanding classic film but is a war film with one scene which is disturbing so not one to watch unless you know what to expect,

Just returned from doing a bit of local shopping and refueling the car.

Driving along, a car a short distance in front of me, a lorry a short distance behind me. Single lane.
Suddenly there was the sound of a car horn as another car driver decided to cut in between my car and the lorry. Lorry let the driver in and that car driver flashed the headlights at me.

I don't know where that car had come from. Either overtaking the lorry in a single lane, or did a U-turn from the other side of the road, or came out of the drive from a house on the other side of the road.

A bit later there's a roundabout which splits into several lanes. There are traffic lights. As the lights had turned amber I stopped in the lane I was going in. The driver in that car went in a difference lane and didn't bother to stop at the lights (not that they had turned red)

The sort of aggressive driver who is a danger on the roads.

Two youngish men going round here knocking on doors. "We're not salesmen. Are you interested in a free new boiler under the government scheme?"

I said I wasn't interested and closed the door. I don't need to replace the boiler and I know that I wouldn't qualify as one has to be on one of the specified state benefits none of which I get (the State Pension isn't one of those).

Which is ridiculous really, as I would imagine there are a great many on the state pension that could benefit from a new boiler.

Though I'm not sure having people knocking on doors is a good idea....wonder how long it will be before the scammers get wind of the scheme and abuse it.

I'm wary of anyone going round knocking on doors. Could be legit, could be a scam.

To be eligible for the EC04 grant (free boiler replacement) one needs to be getting at least one of these benefits:

1) Income based Jobseekers Allowance (JSA),
2) Income related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA),
3) Income Support (IS),
4) Pension Credit Guarantee Credit (PCGC),
5) Working Tax Credit (WTC),
6) Child Tax Credit (CTC),
7) Universal Credit (UC),
8) Housing Benefit,
9) Pension Credit Savings Credit (PCSC),
10) Child Benefit, (within the income caps, see Chapter 5 of the ECO4 Guidance: Delivery),

So state pensioners who get pension credit are covered. I don't qualify for that.
