Trust me, I couldn't believe it. I see you're from Boston -- me too. This was up in the Kittery, NH outlets. I did pick up some nice stuff (and at nice prices too, hahah)Suntory wrote:This sounds like something out of the Twilight Zone and at Polo no less!

I can't say I've heard any LiT music while out anywhere.
I also experience this when I hear LIT music. I have yet to hear it by chance in public, though. Yesterday, I worked from home and had LIT on in the background. I hadn't watched it in several weeks. I, too, had a bittersweet feeling. I was sad at first but then took comfort in seeing Bob, Charlotte and Tokyo again. The music really is such a vital element in this movie. It can create and evoke a mood in me that is almost beyond words.lost in translation wrote:. Anyone here have an experience like this? It was great
Listening to the soundtrack can be moving just like watching the movie. The song selection is perfect. The introduction song in particular. Hearing that song makes me think of the whole movie. And then of course there's the last scene that gives me an empty feeling. I remember that feeling was stuck in me for a week after my first viewing. I can't really put words on the feelings that come over me.KKDallas wrote: I also experience this when I hear LIT music. I have yet to hear it by chance in public, though.

I wanted to stay home again today but I forced myself to head into the office. Maybe tomorrow I will "work from home" again.

Phoenix - Too young, when I realised what it was, and where I'd heard it, had such an impact on me, reminding me of kareoke, my favourite scene in LiT.
yea, same for me, although I love the kareoke scene, and the the song in the background, the very first song in the film as bob pulls up, Death in Vegas - Girls, was just the perfect choice to open the movie with. Everyrytime I hear it, it gives me such a relaxing and comforting sensation, it is probably my favourite song atm, closely followed by a few others from the LiT soundtrack ;Dlost in translation wrote:Listening to the soundtrack can be moving just like watching the movie.

You just reminded me! In the car I once heard the Elvis Costello song (Peace love and Understanding) that Bill sings during the kareoke scene. He sounds so much like Elvis Costello that I actually thought it was Bill.Silver wrote:I had been in a restaurant with my husband and the music being piped in was "Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine (the music in the taxi after the karaoke on the way back to the hotel). It was strange hearing it out of context like that, but I too immediately placed the point of origin.
More interesting though was hearing "More Than This" - the Roxy Music version in "Matchstick Men" w/ Nicolas Cage. I somehow turn the movie on just at that scene to hear the music.
I still like the Bill Murray rendition better. It was heartfelt and had more meaning than the rushed version.
I love that song too. So perfect for the introduction scene. It makes me think of what's coming and therefor makes me feel kind of shakey. I guess that's just the feeling this movie has on me.CHris! wrote:yea, same for me, although I love the kareoke scene, and the the song in the background, the very first song in the film as bob pulls up, Death in Vegas - Girls, was just the perfect choice to open the movie with.

Can you share the picture?Lost in Boston wrote:My laptop wallpaper is a beautiful photograph of the Tokyo skyline at night which includes the Tokyo Park Hyatt where much of the movie was filmed and the skyline is dotted with those wonderful red aircraft warning lights. I've also downloaed the mp3 of Girls by Death in Vegas. I can sit at work or on a plane or in a hotel room and look at that skyline and listen to that song and recreate much of the feel of watching the movie in just a few minutes.
