And BTW it took me a long time to find "Harry's Game" from a VW commercial.
It was so beautiful, but I had no idea what it was, so I ended up making a long-distance call to VW to find out what it was. (pre-internet)
Oh I know the theme from Harry’s Game by Clannad. Funny enough I had to write to U2 in the 80’s to find the name of it. They used to close their rock concerts with a recording of it as people were filing out. :) That’s weird you should mention it.
I probably still have that letter that U2’s management sent back to me telling me the name.
There was another one I liked in the 80’s that was used in a wine commercial and also The Year of Living Dangerously but it wasn’t on the soundtrack because it wasn’t by Maurice Jarre. It was by Vangelis come to find out. It took me a long time to finally find that one.
You are not going to believe this. I have the letter right here in front of me in a my old school records album. I went right to it. This is creepy. I’m going to scan it and send post it.
Here's the letter. The postmark on the envelope is 1985. My senior year in high school. See this is a problem that has plagued me my whole life.
