Old Souls

During the Halloween holiday weekend, I treated myself to 24 hours of horror movie madness (still, recovering from sleep deprivation at the time I’m writing this), and I was reacquainted with old movie friends and made some new ones along the way. I was especially reacquainted with one of my all-time favorite films: Brian DePalma’s fun and gentle little gem, 1974’s Phantom of the Paradise. The music in this film was wonderful, with lovely, sing-along melodies. And no musical would be complete without a show stopper. The song ‘Old Souls’ represents the heroine, Phoenix’s big break and her lovely voice would be the only one that would be able to give the Phantom’s music life. This song’s sweet and gentle melody of course became the inspiration for this next video tribute; you’ve seen this pair before, but I find myself returning to them, in my fantastical wish to have them reunited for another scene. I’ve seen these two in other scenes since this one, and each one of those have touched me deeply. But it’s this one, the one where I’ll be introduced to these two for the first time, will remain my heart and soul’s favorite, and I’ve been in love with these two ever since. When it’s right, it’s right, as they say. LOL!

This will serve as a very special love spell of sorts, and I wish this to be my huge hope that a third movie to finish out the story began in Seriously Sexy, will happen. I’m an eternal romantic, and I don’t think I could truly be satisfied unless Josh and Brandon’s ‘love story’ becomes resolved. I hate open endings, don’t you? I’d like to think it could happen, a real ending for a great story. Bel Ami does give us fans what we want. They gave us Kris and Dolph together, did they not? That was a dream match that we had demanded and they delivered, much to our delight. I don’t know of a fan who does not dream of Josh and Brandon coming back again. In any event, a third Seriously Sexy film is definitely on my Bel Ami wish list. 🙂 We’ll just have to see what happens. Maybe this little piece of mojo will help. Or not. If not, we have a lovely, sexy BelAmi memory. But this is a beautiful song and I couldn’t think of a couple more deserving to give it to, then these two: two of my all-time favorite Bel Ami loves. This is still one for the ages.
