Is it really that hard?

Chicago - Hard To Say I'm Sorry
there's a handful of movies that i really only think of as visualized soundtracks. karate kid is one of them. footloose. say anything. most of cameron crowe's films for that matter (think tiny dancer sing-along in almost famous), and to a lesser extent stuff like back to the future.
that's why some music, and in this case almost ALL music by chicago, sounds like a movie to me. and i don't just mean a movie. i mean a movie that sort of IS a certain time. like how indiana jones was the family trip to phoenix. burning hands on seatbelt buckles, padddle boat rides, swiming in a hotel pool, racing from air conditioning to air conditioning. the first time i ever saw an NBA player up close (dan majerle). those are all indian jones. or how arachnaphobia equates to the first make-out with my first real girlfriend. some movies are times... some movies are songs. chicago sounds like those kinds of movies.
but is it hard to say "i'm sorry"? I don't think so... i mean, it can be hard to KNOW you're sorry. but to say it... to say it is easy. it's knowing you are, and knowing why that's the hard part.
now ... who's got some Huey Lewis records for me?
