When the clock strikes 6:00 pm on a Sunday, 24K starts the "Reel Tracks" program. This is where they play soundtracks from movie and television shows that have become very popular on their own. At first, I didn't appreciate this program until they started playing songs that were only played on film. Some of these songs really linger in one's mind and now thanks to "Reel Tracks", they were able to preserve them for others to listen and enjoy.
The song is the soundtrack from the movie "Permanent Record" starring Keannu Reeves which tells the story of class trying to cope with the sudden suicide of one of their batchmates who was the best and the brightest among them. Though school authorities didn't want them to hold a tribute for their fallen friend, they managed to sing this song during a presentation, giving them closure on the issue. You can really feel the emotion of the characters when an acoustic version of this song was played in the film. It really gets to you when you watch that scene. The sudden burst of Keannu to his friend's parents about his guilt of not able to save his friend was something really hard to watch.
Coping with the sudden loss of a friend or worse even a love one is never is easy to take. It always feels that the best part of you have been taken away and sadness that starts to fill your being can really be overwhelming. Right now we are observing All Saints' Day and families are currently visiting the graves of their loved ones and though their is an air of celebration, we still have to accept that they are no longer here. Life goes and the best way we can honor those who aren't here anymore is to go on living and do something good with our lives. Though they are gone, they will always live in our minds and most importantly, in our hearts.
