Description
If you grew up during the 80s, then you know the significance of John Hughes. To me and so many of us who spent our formative years in that decade, John Hughes' movies spoke to our generation. They were funny, smart, well written and starred people who we felt like we went to high school with. Plus, they always had great soundtracks.
And of course, there's my obsession with Molly Ringwald. :)
This is more than just a tribute to the man who brought us these great movies, though. It's something I worte for a very special friend who shares my love for these movies and who has been there for me through all my hard times here recently (not Molly Ringwald this time.)
This is also a throwback to the 80s musically. All synth. Just a few monkied with percussion loops.
If you aren't familiar with John Hughes or his works and want to do some research before or after listening to this tune, here are some suggestions - "Sixteen Candles," The Breakfast Club," "Pretty In Pink" (best soundtrack EVER!), "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," and "Some Kind of Wonderful." This should give you a good start.

Did I see you at the movies
in 1984?
Watching Sixteen Candles
you walked in through the door
I’d like to think that it was you
though I know it couldn’t be
I’d like to think when the movie ended
I saw you smile at me
Did I see you at the movies
in 1991?
Watching Home Alone again
You laughed and had such fun
Were those tears of laughter
I saw on your face
Did we walk out together
but in a different place
Watching John Hughes movies
Late into the night
I’ll put my arm around you
and make everything all right
If you need to feel that someone
is always on your side
Just watch those John Hughes movies
and it will be all right
You’ve reached out so far for me
and helped heal my pain
I’ll always reach out to you
when you need the same
It will be Some Kind of Wonderful
when we both smile again
Knowing through the dark sad times
We’ve both found a friend
Watching John Hughes movies
Late into the night
I’ll put my arm around you
and make everything all right
If you need to feel
that someone’s on your side
Just watch those John Hughes movies
and it will be all right
One day, we’ll go together
and visit Shermer High
We’ll see Claire and Bender and Farmer Ted
and, maybe Cameron Frye
We can walk the streets and see these faces
and feel like we’re with friends
and we'll know they make us smile
we’ll be happy in the end.
Watching John Hughes movies
Late into the night
I’ll put my arm around you
and make everything all right
If you need to feel
that someone’s on your side
Just watch those John Hughes movies
and it will be all right
Watching John Hughes movies
Late into the night
I’ll put my arm around you
and make everything all right
If you need to feel
that someone’s on your side
Just watch those John Hughes movies
and it will be all right

I'd tell you what I told Molly, but you'd bum. Cutie On Screen though, No?
Big Scape, here. You've sure added a dimension, Eh?
Very Best To You, Brother.
