Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Beck - Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime

I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was the last movie that made me cry.  This song/video captures one of the saddest songs in the movie - an adaptation by Beck of The Korgis' Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime (1980).  


The moments captured show the extremes from which the relationship swung.  From kisses and tossing leaves to paying someone to erase their memories of that person.

Funny fact:  you know how there are songs you may sing on your own in the shower or in the car and you believe to the gods that you can sing and have a great voice?  This is one of those songs for me - the Beck adaptation - not the original.  The two songs are quite different if you pay attention.
