You’re sweet to clarify. Thanks for that. This is the first Gerry Rafferty song I’ve used in 876 videos. I’ll have to look into him more.

What made the song work for this show is the “It’s been you, woman, right down the line.” In the show, the boy sees the girl playing the online game and is impressed with her skill. He goes to the game and asks her to marry him online. Later he meets her on a bridge in the real world in the same position their characters were in the game and, after he marries her in real life, takes her to the place where he first saw her that he’s bought for his company offices and flashes back on that first time. It’s trying to find that deep connection between the story of a song and the story of a drama that is the fun part.

My favorite Gerry Rafferty tune is “Baker Street”...for me, when I hear it, it brings me back to when I was in the USN, anchored off Rota Spain, outbound back to the USA and the USS Eisenhower was relieving us, anchored a short distance away.

When I woke up that morning, it was to the ship’s 1MC system playing “Baker Street” with the last stanza obviously the one they meant for us to hear...

When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home

What a grand day-going home to my friends and loved ones...:)

I’m just realizing that you made the video. Great job! I see you have many more and a good taste in music. They are deserving of more views. A couple of other Gerry Rafferty classics are Baker Street and Stuck in the Middle With You (he was singer with stealers wheel).

I’m guessing you did not see a movie named The Warriors which was a cult male classic made in 1979 about gangs in New York. Although its notoriety came from its violence, it’s really a good movie with an exceptional director. One of my favorite videos on YouTube was made using this movie. And a song I had never heard. I left the comment that it is the most under-appreciated video on YouTube. Take a peek when you have a minute. As a fellow romantic I think you will like it.
