In The Deep

It's the sense of touch. 

In any real city, you walk, you know? 

You brush past people, people bump into you. 

In L.A., nobody touches you. 

We're always behind this metal and glass. 

I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other...
just so we can feel something.

- Graham, Crash (2004)

If I were to ever make a movie, this would be my sole inspiration. Words fail me when it comes to Crash. And since I'm a strong believer of the bigger picture, of us all being connected to each other in one way or the other and of us being here for larger things in life, this movie is IT. It's heart-wrenching, gripping and heartwarming all at once. It makes you want to stop breathing and breathe a sigh of relief. It makes you want to cry weep and also jump with hope. It's a paradoxical mix of everything that makes us who we are and couldn't be a more apt representation of what human relationships are like. To get what I'm saying, I suggest a dekho if you haven't already gotten yourself one.

If I were to ever make a movie, this would be my sole inspiration.

Here's a glimpse into one of it's heart-rendering scene (which I couldn't embed) and track. Have a listen.

Lyrics:

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep. 

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep. 

And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep. 

In the silence,
all your secrets, will
raise their worried heads.
Well, you can pin yourself back together,
to who you thought you were.
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep. 

In the deep...

Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...
