Cole Porter - "So in Love"

As I was going through my junk, there it was staring at me from the shelves - "De-lovely". It's a beautiful film documenting the life of Cole Porter, a brilliant song-writer from the 1930s. In fact, it was that good it received numerous nominations at the Oscars and other cinematic awards.

For all its worth, the scene that really struck me was this. A little context here: Linda, Porter's wife, was dying. They had gotten back together after a brief separation, when Porter injured himself in a riding accident. In my opinion, he felt that he could have been a better husband to his wife.

That probably inspired this beautiful song...
