merseybeat1963 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I never really felt for this song till this movie...man I love that movie..and this song. if there is one movie id like to jump into & disappear in times of trouble its this one. Kind of my Willoughby (Twilight Zone "A Stop at Willoughby" 1960) This is a brief but excellent scene.And crystal clear sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseybeat1963 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Rod..you gotta be kidding man. Have you seen that movie... you couldn't have and not liked it : ) And I dont mean the watered down chopped up US Tv version. I am a big follower of the world according to Richard Curtis. And there are a lot a great tunes in that movie..even the background music is excellent in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Great song, I think its almost mandatory for an acoustic act to have this song in their reportoire. here's our more stripped back effort from an old gig .. btw: Love Notting Hill, like 'Love Actually' its one of those films you could watch over dozens of times ... with the Mrs of course.

Tarrr Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Bill Withers is one of the best original artist along the way. Freddie King did a mean version that I think is special: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uyf4W_ByNmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseybeat1963 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Tarr..I may begin playing it like that..but if I don't get those images of Hugh Grant walking through that Portobello Road market in Notting Hill in my head while doing it, Ill probably revert back to the original. : ) Larry..you don't like that movie either? Its all about peace & love ..The most violent part is Julia Roberts throwing something to the floor..no explosions..no hate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 if I don't get those images of Hugh Grant walking through that Portobello Road market in Notting Hill in my head while doing it, I tend to get more of these images whenever I think of Hugh Grant in any capacity.....

merseybeat1963 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 :) Nah! What comes to my mind in relation to Hugh Grant after the man himself is that gorgeous woman he used to go with...(Elizabeth..Wow..Hurley) Im so retarted about this movie, once I spent the whole evening with my guitar trying to learn & playing along with the background music.
