On the road. Famously (Or,Almost)

Carrying on from the last post , the right music can really do things to a scene when it comes on in together with a change in mood or atmosphere. Like Elton John's Tiny Dancer in the bus ride scene on Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous . It starts with the tense charge of bad blood and fatigue from the previous scene. Then the song takes over , the trip begins and - as Penny Lane puts it - you are home.
The song's great , one of the very few Elton tracks that does it for me.And the placement is perfect. A beautiful magic moment in a brilliant movie.
