The first time I heard this song, I was no more than 10. Of course, at that age, my not relating to the song was nothing surprising. The second time I watched the movie and the song scene, I must have been in my 20s. Then too, it seemed just like another good song, one that reflected on the life of a woman who did not seem real to me. Nevertheless, a good song, I thought.
It was only when I heard it again in my mid 30s did I realise...that such women do exist, and that sometimes, stories depicted in movies and songs are really stories of people like you and I...stories of real people, with real stories to tell, and real lives to live...
