Today's song comes from one of my fave fantasy movies as a kid, and is still one of my faves today-- the 1986 classic, Labyrinth. There is actually no real romance in the story, but this scene (which is a fruit-drug-induced hallucination/dream type thing) is thoroughly swoon-worthy. And much of it has to do with the song David Bowie created for it.
And Jennifer Connelly's face and costume and hair MY GOD IS SHE NOT GORGEOUS IN THIS SHOT? But the title of this post is not "Favorite 80s Teen Idols", so. Moving on.
I love the scene from the movie, in the top video below, but I'm also going to embed a lyrics video so you can see precisely why this song is so entirely romantic. For those of you who are old enough to remember when this movie was new, please join me in some nostalgia. For the rest of you, I hope this intrigues you enough to check out the movie (streaming now on Netflix! get it while it's hot!) and perhaps add it to your "oldie but a goodie" list.
Enjoy!

I LOVE this movie! Made my kids watch it (which was maybe my fourth or fifth time to see it). Great song too, Lydia. Thanks!
