Dear Ingrid, I was delighted to meet you in person – and what a great honour to share a post with Bill (and even for the same reason, imagine that!! ;) ) I was ‘behaving’ computer-wise and so I (unfortunately) did not see your post before… But it was lovely to read it now that I got home, just as it was lovely to meet you when I arrived in London the other day :)

Ah, and thanks to you kind comment-people for the birthday wishes as well! :)

I am not peeping at the other comments. Is it the Colin Firth scene when he is in the car after sayiong goodby to the girl at christmas (He nearly drives into somebody)??

@Annerie: You raised your kids well! :)
Ehrm – I worked as an IT girl for more than 20 years – I guess that is hard to brush off. And – I am obsessed with the colour red – so when I could get a red one for the same price, I didn’t have to think long!

@Pedro – no you earned a lot of credit and you have my highest respect, liking films like that!

@Ingrid: I am a man or otherwise I’m an ugly women with a moustache and chest hair :).
I’m not bothered that it’s a romantic comedy. As long as it’s a good movie! I like Nothing Hill and Four weddings as well. I hope you don’t think less of me now?

I knew it was a multible scene track, but I most remember the Alan and Emma part and where Colin is going home again. And………I was listening to it yesterdagmorning as well. Just felt like it. My kids love the two craig Armstrong themes by the way. They even ‘sing’ along to it in the car. Actually.

I never pictured you the it-girl who’d buy a computer for it’s looks ;o)

OK I just watched the whole film again (it never loses its magic) and the above song is all over the place. I am sure I haven’t caught them all, but this song plays in the following scenes (and probably in more)
Colin settles in in France
Hugh Grant’s prime minister speech
Keira watching the wedding tape
Colin saying goodbye to Aurelia
Mia (Alan Rickman’s love interest) after the party
Laura Linney in the hospital with her brother
Alan and Emma in bed
Sam on the airport chasing his girl
Half naked Bill ripping off his trousers.
The whole Colin asks Aurelia sequence in the restaurant in France.

What I mean to say – find the DVD – put it on, watch it and feel good.

Have seen the film a zillion times but wouldn’t know where this music comes in… Ahh, feeling very dumb.

@Pedro : are you sure you are a man? Remembering the lines like that? I am impressed!

@Ella and Mark: it breaks my heart too every time I hear it. I was wondering – would it have the same effect on me if I didn’t know the film but just heard the music? It is an interesting thing to think about, and yes great theme for this film. I have to watch it – now.

@kate: did you like the movie? (I hope you did!) The new red laptop, which has just arrived after a whole day of waiting – is absolutely gorgious and really beautifully red. Picture one of these days, if I have nothing better to write about.

I have to agree with Ella – everytime this piece appears it pulls at my heartstrings. Craig Armstrong wrote some great themes for this film.

I can’t remember exactly when the song played, which is pretty pathetic since I took your advice and watched ‘Love Actually’ on the weekend.

Happy Birthday to Bill and also to Jill. It must have been fun meeting … how’s the new red laptop?
