Yazoo - Only You

So if you read this blog or you know me at all, you know I am a television enthusiast. One of my addictions of last year was Fringe. Today my friend came over and I introduced him to the show and we had a marathon. This moment was one of my favorite moments of Fringe and actually incredibly arty for the show. If you watch the show, you will know that Walter Bishop is a music lover. In the final season of Fringe (spoiler alert) which is when this moment occurs, the observers have taken over and humanity is close to being wiped out. All hope is gone so this moment is beautiful because Walter finds the CD and plays it. In the episode Walter says to Windmark, "Music helps you shift perspective, to see things differently if you need to." Windmark replies, "See things? Like hope?" Walter responds, "Yes. Very much like that." I feel the same way about music, it can turn any moment around for me and give me hope even in the darkest of days, as it does for Walter here. I love this scene and this was the perfect song for this moment. If ever I feel all hope is lost, this song usually cheers me up!
