This would be a most perfect theme song for the movie...or two other scenes during the movie would be very appropriate places for this song on the soundtrack. Only those who have read it will understand this...and I'm NOT going to spoil it by posting here the other two scenes this song would play well in...but I have emailed Max privately on this.

Anyway, the song is "Pieces of Eight" by the American blues/rock band, Styx. Here are the lyrics to that song...

Written by Dennis DeYoung

It's six o'clock
Good morning sounds are everywhere
The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair

I hurry through my life never stopping to see
How beautiful it was meant to be

I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise
Broken dreams as we shuffle by

It's six o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day
Out on the streets I overheard a lady say
We now have everything or so people say
But now this emptiness haunts me every day
We seek the lion's share never knowing why
Come alive spread your wings and fly

Pieces of eight
The search for the money tree
Don't cash your freedoms in for gold
Pieces of eight
Can't buy you everything
Don't let it turn your heart to stone

That's very good. I'm quite impressed. :D

Yes, I do like the ring of that. :D

Yes, it's very good isn't it.

You will have to tell us what Max thinks Labrador.

I will most definitely do that, when and if I get a reply. I imagine that right now, between finishing up the American book tour, and all the email he must have gotten while on the tour, it will take him a little while to get back to me...

Oh well, we wait as patiently as ever. :D

Be good, IF they can get the rights.
