Song # 2: "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel



One fortuitous night, my sister and I saw an old movie from the '80's on cable called "Say Anything", which was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to John Cusack's career. It was the crowning glory of the teenybopper prom flicks of that decade, the happy-go-lucky-dude-wins-gorgeous-overachiever kind (fittingly enough, "Say Anything" was released in 1989). A particular scene indelibly imprinted on our minds was one in which John Cusack's character, desperate to win back Ione Skye's, stood under her window and held over his head a boombox playing "In Your Eyes". This song is already on my sister's wedding playlist.
