I remembered this song back from the days that my ears won't shut till I hear something so soothing... sometimes putting me into a sort of trance then fall asleep. I'm actually in the hunt for a DVD of this movie now. Nicole Kidman is just so ethereal. The song and the scene--- surreal. (Pardon me for the conversation parts..it may or may not be accurate)
UNUSUAL WAY
In a very unusual way
One time I needed you
In a very unusual way
You were my friend
Maybe it lasted a day
Maybe it lasted an hour
But somehow it will never end
Claudia: These women who come up that pedestals for a kiss... they're just fantasies.
Guido: No you misunderstood.
In a very unusual way
I think I'm in love with you
In a very unusual way
I want to cry
Something inside me goes weak
Something inside me surrenders
And you're the reason why,
you're the reason why
You don't know what you do to me
You don't have a clue
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you
It scares me so that I can hardly speak
Claudia: I can't keep playing that part.
Guido: But I fall in love with you everytime...
Claudia: When there's a camera between us?
Guido: No...
Claudia: He's not a real person, Guido, this man you describe, he doesn't know how to love.
In a very unusual way
I owe what I am to you
Guido: There was a time once when on location, on some terrible hotel, you were in the room directly above me. I could hear you're walking above and all through the night, I wanted to rush up the stairs and hammer on your door till you open...
Claudia: Why didn't you?
Guido: I don't know... i don't know.
(lines that Nicole didn't sing but is included in the song: Thought at times it appears I won't stay I never go)
Special to me in my life
Since the first day that I met you
How could I ever forget you
Once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way......You've made me whole.
Stupenda... Bellisima... Kaunis...
still in a trance,
dani
