Wonderwall

[Sally]

Hiya

Just wondered if any of you have seen Wonderwall and what you think?

Someone gave me the video Christmas and I thought it was odd, but very much of it's time.

I've never seen the movie, but the soundtrack is superb.

I haven't seen the movie, but I do have the soundtrack which is very good.

Red Lady Too has a beautiful melody line and it always reminds me of the Theme Tune of the TV series The Persuaders (Roger Moore and Tony Curtis).

There'll come a time when most of us return here.
Brought back by our desire to be, a perfect entity.
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying,
George Harrison, written partly in 1966.

"Party Seacombe" is my favorite; "Ski-Ing" features great Eric Clapton guitar; "Wonderwall To Be Here" is another great one. Good instrumental work by George. About the movie, I haven't seen it... but people who had seen it have told me that it would remind you of Blow Up, that weird 60's psychedelic movie which I saw and didn't like... I don't know what would they have in common, but that's what they told me.

I haven't seen Blow Up but it is very very wierd, but an interesting story line among the mad psychedelia, very trippy and colourful, a good film to see for interest but not one I think you could watch over and over unless your are on mushrooms or acid or something.

By the way, it took absolutely bloody ages for my partner to find a copy, in the end he ordered from an American web site. Easy to get there but more difficult here, odd as it's a British film.

By the way, some of those sites are great FPSHOT, thanks. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/thumbsup.gif
