The Ending At The Empire State Building Originally Looked Much Different So much red, so much love, so much passion shared by the pair as they finally meet and fall in love. Once Annie and Sam’s paths cross at that moment, there’s an abundance of red - the soccer players, Jonah’s coat, and then Annie’s run to the Empire State Building in the film’s final moments. Partly because of me because I hate blue. But we used a very controlled palette in the movie. It’s just one of those little ideas that production designers sometimes get. And that little group of soccer players is all in red on purpose. One of the ideas of our production designer, Jeffrey Townsend, was to very rarely use red in the moving until the two of them came together. Throughout the first hour-plus of the movie, the color red isn’t used all that much, but that changes when Sam and Annie first cross paths at the Seattle airport, as Ephron revealed in the director’s commentary: Something else that directors (and production designers) really like to play with in movies is color, and it was no different for Nora Ephron and Jeffrey Townsend in Sleepless in Seattle. All this means is the piano might have some higher end notes that peak out a little (may twange your ear), where in mastering that will be compressed down so no ear-ouchies.:) But still, it's a great version.The Use Of Red And Lack Of Blue In Sleepless In Seattle Wasn’t By Chance I'm sorry to say this version you are getting is not mixed or mastered yet, but the final polished version will be on the actual album. I'll send you a CD once it's released.Īnd everyone else - please accept my thanks by downloading your free copy of this song. I thought it was very fitting since it is a) a very short song, b) written for babies, c) a lullaby, d) to be played at bedtime, and e) I was very much inspired by Chopin's style when composing this song. The final decision - is that the song will be called " Une Petite Nocturne", which in French means "A little Nocturne" or "A Little Song of the Night". I loved this name, and though I didn't end up using it, I did go ahead with a French name. One submission was from my friend, Lisa Davis, who suggested a French name "Joyeaux de Rever" (sorry if I mispelled), meaning Joy of Dreaming. However, the most famous exponent of the form was Frédéric Chopin, who wrote 21 of them (see Chopin nocturnes). In its more familiar form as a single-movement character piece usually written for solo piano, the nocturne was cultivated primarily in the nineteenth century. dawned on me that " Nocturne" would be a perfect name for the song, since the meaning of the word Nocturne is a "song of the night".Ī nocturne (from the French for "nocturnal") is usually a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. I started going over words in my head like "Evening", "Twilight", "Midnight", "Nighttime", all things NOCTURNAL. So last night I decided to just sleep on it. I even tried many different combinations of ideas. Some of my favorites had the words "Daydream", "Ballet", "Serenade", "The First _", and there were also some ideas submitted that had personal stories to go along with it and I was so touched.īut even with all the great ideas, I couldn't find one that fit exactly right. Last night, My Mom and I went over all of the ideas that I received here, The Belly Diaries, and also on my Facebook page. You all should be poets because you submitted some very beautiful, original ideas. Thank you everyone who gave me so many wonderful and inspiring ideas to name this last song on the album.
