Movie Scene:
Brian: [Singing lyrics from “Meant For You”] As I sit and close my eyes, there is peace in my mind, and I’m hoping that you’ll find it too. And these feelings in my heart I know are meant for you. […] Danny Hutton and his group [Three Dog Night], he has a record called, “My Impersonal Life.” In that song he goes, “be still and know that everything’s alright.” Oh, wow, I like that. That’s what I need, you know. I’m never ever still, always in turmoil, you know, hoping that somebody will save me or someone will come along and save my life or save my day.
