Say It's So, Joe
As I’ve written in the past here, I dearly love the movie Joe vs. the Volcano, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, and starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (in three roles, as sisters). The romantic comedy/drama is essentially a modern fairy tale about a lot of things, but mainly about being heartsick and feeling insignificant in a world that requires traveling a jagged path to find what you need, even if that means maybe jumping into a volcano.
It was on the other day, and I was reminded again how much I love the gorgeous, tender song, “Marooned Without You,” which is written by Georges Delerue and John Patrick Shanley. It’s only heard quietly in the background during the movie, but also over the end credits. I couldn’t find a film clip of the song, but this is from the soundtrack played over a still photograph. Let me repeat, I love this song.
