Free Music Fridays: Be Kind Rewind

Be Kind Rewind Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Free Music Fridays

Michel Gondry’s “Be Kind Rewind” is whimsy with a capital W. No, it’s WHIMSY in all caps. Make that all-caps italic boldface. Oh, never mind. I’m getting too whimsical. Maybe Gondry does, too.
