soundtrack music

Thursday, April 5th - I was on the subway going home and as the subway crept from the tunnel to the outside, "Suite" by Rachel Portman from the movie "Mona Lisa Smiles", began playing and as I looked around the car, with the apt buildings swishing by in the background, I realized how fitting the music was to the scene before me:

An older gentleman wearing a cap, three women and a youngish man, were all in a row sleeping with their heads all slightly bowed towards their chest. There were 6 of us, scattered throughout the car, either sitting or standing, listening to our ipods and 3 people took out their cell phones and began texting whomever. The subway car was silent, no extra loud music, no talking, just the whispher of the subway as it slowly entered my station.
