Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny

I grew up listening to my dad’s oldies a lot. From the car shows he’d take me to...to the spontaneous road trips we’d take, oldies were always in the background. One day we watched the movie La Bamba and I recognized the song when I heard it, but it hit me incredibly hard during that movie. I think it’s because I was not only greatly affected by that ending, but my dad was too and ever since then I’ve seen this song as a form of immeasurable beauty...simply because it touched my dad on that level. No other song I’ve heard since has even come close to touching its rank and I honestly don’t think one ever will.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart I’ve loved this song since I was a child, but there was always something so melancholy about it to me even then. I saw La Bamba as an adult, when this played in the closing scenes people were crying in the theater.

@bijouxbroussard It was such a powerful scene. I mean, we all knew what was coming, but man, the feels in that moment were so intense and having this song playing in the background...it was just so perfectly chosen.
