Despite loving this, I didn't attempt to check them out and dig a bit deeper. I guess I thought, 'I have this. This is all I need.'

Second attempt at posting this and this time attaching the song instead of a random film trailer.

Eventually appeared on 'Roisin Machine' in 2020 but first released way back in 2012. Thanks for sticking with it, Roisin.

Quite possibly. For me, to have picked another song...it wouldn't have felt right. This was also in my #All50rts collection.
