The Last Five Years

Spotify is a double edged sword.
Every song (except Taylor Swift) is at your fingertips.
So when I saw a trailer for "The Last Five Years", I wanted to check it out.


Then I listened to it six times in a row. 

It's not that the songs grabbed me immediately.
They were just catchy enough to keep me coming back.

The story is structured where the man is going forward through their relationship, while the woman is going backwards through their relationship.

The only downside of this is the two characters rarely sing the same song. Which is probably a strong thematic choice, but robs me of any harmony the two characters might have.

If it sounds good to you, it's worth a try.
