In the final scene of the film Strictly Sexual there is a lovely song in the background.
It's as simple as this, here it is
Couldn't spell it out more clearly
There's only today, and the freeway,
And the pain that keeps you near me
The animation, of sinking souls,
Strung along a telephone pole
It's easy to miss
You could circle the earth
The universe
We're shadowed in the same light
It's coming undone
So you run
While I'm circling the drainpipe
An invitation to just forget
Well I'm not finished yet, I got big plans
Cut off the table, hon and do the math
Washed out and faded like a photograph
And I spell out your name across the overpass
It's as simple as that
It's as simple as this
What I miss, I will carry to the last day
Deliver my spark
Through the dark
To the angels in the ashtray
Saturation of hopeless need
But as the asphalt bleeds
Curtains rise and
Someday you'll find me standing in your path
Whether deep in the background of some photograph
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
It's as simple as that
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Someday you'll find me standing in your path
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
Someday you'll find me standing in your path
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
It's as simple as that
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway........
Couldn't spell it out more clearly
There's only today, and the freeway,

Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway
Simple's hard enough now anyway........
(thanks lyricsmania!)
This song is by The Solids, a Californian band now composed by Carter Bays
However, what it is remarkable is that Bays and Thomas are the creators of “How I Met Your Mother”, one of my all time favourites TV series (whose song “Hey Beautiful” is also by The Solids).
Ps: maybe for a future post, people with talent for different activities (such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, football player that when retired were great managers such as Franz Beckenbauer and Johan Cryuff, athletes being outstanding in different disciplines) and people with an amazing talent for one thing that failed trying a different one (for instance, Michael Jordan).
