Dreaming My Dreams (LP)
Waylon Jennings
Spin "Dreaming My Dreams with You" and all of a sudden, you're at some dingy bar, your head slumped, reeking of cheap beer. It's closing time, the vexed bartender reminds you. Just one more song on the jukebox, you promise, before you have to go out into the howling wind, where newspapers sweep the floors and you hug your coat extra tight. You have nowhere to go but inside your broken heart.

Por Una Mujer (LP)
Julio Iglesias
I'm five and my grandma is washing the dishes, staring off into space and singing "Rio Rebelde," about a dejected man who throws his ex-lover's handkerchief into a river, watching it distance, sink, and drown, along with his happiness. The dishes are done. The dirty dishwater swirls into the drain, beyond it. There's a deafening silence. My grandma had stopped singing.

Babygirl (2024) could never. As a long time Maggie Gyllenhaal stan, I'm just as shocked as you are that I watched this for the first time recently. An erotic film staple.

What we're not gonna do is pretend that Twilight (2008) doesn't have one of the best soundtracks of all time. Where the hell have you been, loca?

And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out (LP)
Yo La Tengo
Imagine driving down Sunset Boulevard on a chilly evening with this album on repeat. I can't (because I don't drive)... But as a certified passenger princess I have witnessed it and it's pure magic.
