This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #WindowsAndDoors. Although this tune isn't one of my top Jackie DeShannon or Bacharach/David favorites, it is an obvious choice for this theme:

When Jim Henson Productions and Sony wanted to make something along the lines of Jim Henson’s “The Dark Chrystal” or “Labyrinth” they approached graphic novelist Neil Gaiman and illustrator Dave McKean, who had previously collaborated on the graphic novel series “Black Orchid” (1988), “The Sandman” (1989-1996) and children’s book “Coraline” (2002). The result was this very artful journey through a fantasy world. Almost every scene is chock-full of imaginative designs and special effects for which about 15 young animators were hired, almost all of them just graduated from the local art school.
The songs in the soundtrack are “(They Long To Be) Close to you” (a cover of the classic written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David), sung by Josefine Cronholm, and “If I Apologise” (written by Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman) sung by Josefine Cronholm & Ashley Slater.

Dearest Darling
I had to write to say
that I won't be home anymore
Cuz something happened to me
while I was driving home
& I'm not the same anymore
Oh I was only 24 hrs from Tulsa
Ah, only one day away from your arms
I saw a welcoming light
& stopped to rest for the night
& that is when I saw her
as I pulled in
outside of the small motel
she was there
& so I walked up to her
asked where I could get
something to eat
& she showed me where
