My recent déjà vu
This weird thing has happened when I watched a Bates Motel episode where Norma and her brother Caleb sing a song from their childhood. A lovely song, actually, lyrical and lighthearted. And suddenly I had a feeling I knew this song very well but its melody filled my heart with crushing despair. Like something very sad was linked to this song. I've got quite emotional, actually, for no apparent reason.
At the same time, I clearly didn't know a word of this song and had no idea of its name.
Some lesser person, ha-ha, would've decided she heard it in her previous life or something mystical like that, and stopped at that. But not me! There's no place for mysticism in times of glorious Google!
So what I did was:
1. searching for the name of the song Norma sings with her brother in the series and finding out it was Tonight You Belong to Me
2. searching YouTube for the video of this song and - bingo! I see this song was used in American Horror Story season 1.
So three years ago I watched these series and, as usual, paid no attention to the soundtrack at all but unconsciously I remembered the song and associated it with the horrible death of the entire set of the season characters. Thus this feeling of sadness and despair.
The first season of the American Horror Story is my favorite. I'm a sucker for the first love stories, and a love story of a ghost boy and a real girl makes me, oh, so sentimental. Plus, Evan Peters is so cute there with his blond curls and boyish smile that he's an extra reason to love this season. :)
