As I get older and my CD collection expands, I have gotten into the habit of reading what has been written inside the accompanying cover leaflet, and most of the time what is written is very interesting. This, to me adds to the enjoyment of the CD, not just for the songs alone, but the whole experience, from the peeling off of the clear wrapper, to opening the jewel case for the first time and admiring the design on the disc, the photography on the leaflet.

In the OST of My Blueberry Nights, Wong Kar Wai has left an insightful short note :

MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, my first English-language film, is the story of a young woman taking the long way to cross the street to true love. In order to understand how she might travel from one ocean to another, I took that long journey myself, not once but three times - three different routes from New York to Santa Monica. Each trip lasted 10 days. Together with my DP, location manager, and line producer, we drove at least fifteen hours a day. The experience was intense but memorable. Sometimes I wondered if MBN was only my excuse to take the road trip of a lifetime.
Mile after mile, the view outside my window and the music from the car stereo synched in unexpected ways to give me my first glimpse into the landscape of Elizabeth's heart.
These trips not only shaped the story of MBN, but the soundtrack as well.
