There are two reasons why I forced the people I know to see Alison Anders wonderful film ''[[Grace Of My Heart]]'', which is loosely based on singer Carole King's life. The first is that Illeana Douglas, who makes Carole's alter ego Denise Weaverly, is a fantastic actress. The second is that Elvis Costello and [[Burt Bacharach]] wrote the soundtrack. If it was the image of Illeanas loving role interpretation etched full in the retina after the film's end, it was the sound of the song ''[[God Give Me Strength]]'' , the film's main theme, which got stuck in my heart. I never really managed to take me Elvis Costello otherwise. I have listened over and over at ''[[My Aim Is True]]'', his classic debut album from 1977, which I thought I would love this when I heard the title, but I understand it still does not.

In both the initial ''[[In The Darkest Place]]'' that in the quiet title track they create an atmosphere that is truly unique. When Costello sway to the voice of the ''[[I Still Have That Other Girl]]'', it is easy to lose your breath. For those who still believe that one should listen to Bacharach on weekend mornings, there is plenty of cool jazzy cocktail pop, especially bossa nova fragrant ''[[Toledo]]'', but most of all, ''Painted From Memory'' a qualitative alignment of beautiful songs about difficult love, and painful memories, to console themselves with when you feel very far away. I just hope they liked it well enough together to collaborate again. | ||
