• We need to turn back!
• This is a dream!
• E Minor! I was right, she did spin!

Ann

• You used to play so beautifully,Tom. You had a song for every little thing in your life.
• When you get old enough you don't fear death anymore, you wait for it. And, after a while, you hope for it, even if you don't admit it. Do you know why? Because losing your mind before you go is worse than dying.

Dialogue

Ann - age 73: When you get old enough you don't fear death anymore, you wait for it. And, after a while, you hope for it, even if you don't admit IT. Do you know why? Because losing your mind before you go is worse than dying.

Tom Whitman - age 70: [voiceover] I had hoped to hear the chords played again one day, without them I'm lost in this nothingness. If a song had to have a colour it would be a mixture of red and pink, forever afraid of vanishing, terrified of the silence that make it.
