Sanctuary – Red Horse [Eliza Gilkyson cover] (2010) d96
On the news that retribution on “sanctuary cities” has been blocked by a federal judge, this gorgeous song by Eliza Gilkyson. And for Anna and Alison. Through the doubter’s gloom and the cynic’s sneer thou art with me. In the crowded rooms of a mind unclear thou art with me. Though I’ll walk for a […]
I’m going to go back there someday – The Muppets (1979) d91
Gonzo, on friendship Come and go with me, it’s more fun to share, We’ll both be completely at home in midair. We’re flyin’, not walkin’, on featherless wings.

Always look on the bright side of life – Monty Python (1979) d59
I mostly listen to this as a song, rather than watch it in the movie, so I kind of forgot the setting. I should probably wait until after Lent is over to post it, but as Eileen says, “I’ve been humming this bit of inspired lunacy for days. ‘You come from nothing, you go back […]
Don’t worry about me – Frances (2016) d53
