Weird, weird request

[lovefromgirl]

If anyone out there has [edited:] the theme from And The Band Played On, I would be much obliged if you'd send it along. I've been haunted by it all day.

By the story, too, but that's to be expected. To not be absolutely gutted at what happened during the early days of AIDS research, why, I'd hope it was because one simply didn't know.

I love that movie. I own the book. I don't know where to find the song, though.

Isn't the book fantastic, though? No discussion of AIDS literature (and oh my gods, how sad is it that the epidemic got that far? We don't have smallpox literature) is complete without it.

-- Note to self: Someday, sad though it may be, teach ATBPO in an AIDS Lit course. Also, At Risk by Alice Hoffman.

I'm downloading the film so I can extract the audio, cut out the theme, and send you a copy.

Hoping, of course, that it appears by itself in the credits or something.

You had better appreciate this...

While I'm at it, I think I'll actually watch the film and see what you're talking about.

I think I will appreciate it -- and yes, it does appear in the credits, all on its lonesome. Beautiful music.

Prepare to get a little teary-eyed. Or a lot, depending.

Ah yes. That's in my collection, because I'm a sad, sick, BD Wong fan. On a similar theme, though, have you seen Alive and Kicking? What about Longtime Companion?

Haven't seen either. Now that Blockbuster is on a $.99/night rental system, I may have the chance!
