A Rush Of Gump To The Head...

Featured Replies

"I don't know if anyone out there has ever noticed this, but when "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" was released some of the verse seemed to refer (In my mind, anyway) to the movie "Forrest Gump" where Forrest buys and destroys the home where Jenny grew up and was abused in...

 

I decided to finally put it together for myself... I hope some of you out there enjoy this as much as I did."

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone.

 

When the album came out I was immediately drawn to that song, and it instantly brought to mind that whole sequence. I hear Chris has a place in my neighborhood but have yet to seem him around to ask...

 

I am really glad some of you enjoyed something I put together last night for myself, and for my own memory of a little girl I sat next to on the bus when I was young. I loved making it and am happy if it brings a smile to some of you out there.

That song is just excellent :)

 

Though I have to admit that I was more into Spandau Ballet at that time ;)

Is that really true??:rolleyes:

I LOVE Forrest Gump.

 

And I LOVE A Rush of Blood to the Head.

 

I just didn't connect them together until now, but now that you've mentioned it, it really seems as though there is some sort of link between the two.

Yeah I always thought of Forrest Gump during the verse "Do back the things it did to you in return" and "I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down"referring to when Forrest and Jenny were throwing rocks at Jenny's house and wanting to burn down the house where she was being abused.
