Away we go

This is a small budget movie about a couple suddenly found they have no accomplishment in their middle 30s when they are about to have a baby. So they decided to travel around States and Canada to meet their friends & family to see where would be the best place for them to move to, for the baby and for themselves as well.

So they started the journey of flying & driving. They find out all their friends have their own problems to deal with no matter their family looks either happy, weird or miserable. Finally in the end, Verona (the girl in the couple) faced the memories of her past away mother that she's been trying to avoid since she was 20. And they found their way 'home'.

The story is written by Dave Eggers & Vendela Vida. Dave is also the writer of the screenplay of the movie 'Where the wild things are'. I love that movie, too.

To compare with the movie, what I like even better is the soundtracks by Alexi Murdoch. His song shows peace, sorrow and most importantly slight happiness and hope. My favourite one is 'All my days', the main theme of the movie. Here is the lyrics & link to the music to share with you. Hope this will bring a delightful feeling for your day as it does to me all the time. Enjoy~

All My Days lyrics by Alexi Murdoch

Well I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I?ve been walking on
All of my days
And I?ve been trying to find
What?s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I?ve been trying to find
What?s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it?s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night

Now I see clearly
It?s you I?m looking for
All of my days
Soon I?ll smile
I know I?ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems He found me
And it?s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It?s even breathing
Feels all right
