Past Lives…several months on

A s usual during  a sunny weekend , a  song  was spilling  out of the windows and doors of the flat next door.   If  the conditions  were right and I had a window open, weed smoke  would drift in uninvited .         My  young  neighbour ’s music and  smoking habits  wasn’t an issue for me.   If anything, I was just a little disappointed that I ’d yet to recognise  a song .   But two or three weeks after I’d moved in,  while I was  on my way to the shed,  my ears pricked up .    But it was being sung by Rihanna.   I t was a very different version to the original, but I liked it.  It made me stop  dead in the middle of  the  garden  as I was  transported back to the moment I fell in love with Past Lives.   Go back.   Go back before I urge d a dozen friends to see Past Lives.  Go back before I got a film poster of it for Christmas.  Go back before I  watched it  for a third time   on  Blu-ray.   Keep going back.   Go back before  I saw it for a second time  with my brother and his fiancé
