You have Place a Chill in My Heart by Eurythmics has always been one of my favorite songs. I love Annie Lennox’s performance vocally, visually and emotionally. She does a great job playing the part of several different female characters in telling this tale of the heart. The music and the lyrics work so well…
I love it when there’s a magical moment in a movie that you didn’t expect. One that comes out of nowhere like the following scene from “Forces of Nature” starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Afleck. The story itself is a classic case of a man experiencing a severe case of cold feet before his impeding…

Maxi Priest’s “Watching the World Go By” (1996) still stirs the soul after all these years. I connect to its message whenever I’m in a certain kind of mood. Usually it’s when my day has ramped up to a fever pitch and I can’t even get a moment to catch my breath. On many occasions…
