Not All Girls Like Pink

Such a beautiful score from the movie Like Sunday, Like Rain. I loved how the director let music take over a lot of the scenes carrying the emotional weight of  the characters and moments. With people who live and breathe music, I think having a sort of sad yet sweet melody lingering in the air throughout the film was really brilliant. I sorta wish my life had its own score too.
