Growing up, our house was always booming with music. If not from Papa’s radio station, my brother’s cassette player, gospel songs or children’s songs… it would be from soundtracks from stageplays or films.
What I’m sharing today is a song from An American Tail. This was a song I learned to sing even before I saw the movie, coz Papa got me the soundtrack on tape. It’s title is Duo.
As a child, I’ve never had a ONE single best friend. It would either be an ensemble of kids in our neighborhood or in school. So this song was just a fun song I sang for no one.
Well, until now. As I officially become wife to my better half, this song is for you. As it says, We don’t even have to try, to see things eye to eye, it just comes to us — naturally. No matter what now we’ve got one another, we’ll be be there to pick each other off the floor! We are meant to be a two, who could ever ask for more. Coz you got me and I got you…
The song starts with Dom de Luise singing about how his character, a cat, (I forget the name) has so much in common with Fievel, the mouse. Like us, we did start out as if very different people, discovering how much we had in common after all. We were friends, and became inseparable. –Come to think of it I think we fit together… We’re a duo, it’s true-o. If you got an itch attack, I’ll be there to scratch your back… We’re friends and that’s what friends are for.
And just as he sings – There’s no need to feud and fuss, when it really isn’t us. Let’s you and me be who we are.., I value so much how we’ve become who we are as both partners and individuals.
:joyful:
