I was listening through the soundtrack of Vanilla Sky (2001) recently to find out if its theme song was similar to a piano ditty I made up around ten years ago (afraid I'd plagiarized without knowing it), when I came to and enjoyed the following song sung by actress Cameron Diaz...

"I Fall Apart" -- written by Nancy Wilson and sung by Cameron Diaz as the character "Julie"

It's a nice stalker song: slightly eerie, haunting, and menacing. After hearing it, I wished Cameron Diaz would sing more often because I like her voice and the song, which reminds me of my favorite stalker song of all time, "Do You Love Me Now," by the Breeders.

Cameron Diaz apparently said this about singing "I Fall Apart" with her idol, Nancy Wilson:

Quote:
Diaz: "It was a huge fear to conquer even just standing in that booth in front of Nancy Wilson who is my goddess since I was a child; my sister and I would just sit with their Heart albums and just be like these beautiful creatures making rock -n-roll. So when Cameron said Nancy wrote a song for Julie. I was like, I couldn't. I had chills. I was so excited to sit in front of her and she just sat there and sang and strummed a guitar and I was just like: I can't believe this is happening.

"I couldn't wait to jump up and call my sister (which I did afterwards) and she was like no way, no way! So, we were so excited about that and then to actually go into the studio and record with her which was a huge fear to do but she was so wonderful and totally gave me direction; then of course she had to lay down her own voice underneath mine to help carry it because there was no way I was surviving on my own."

^ Cameron Diaz' comments about Heart made me want to learn more about Nancy Wilson. So due to the movie Vanilla Sky, I discovered how good a guitar player Nancy Wilson is by listening to this old video of "Crazy on You":
