This song was in Angel Heart as well. It is played as Mickey Rourke is pulling in to the New Orleans station on a great old vintage train.

That was beautiful the song and the pictures of your Grandmother. I especially like the pictures of her with her puppy! Thanks

@roachy333 yes, she is singing it at the beach, and then in the next scene, Alana Parker plays the recorded composition. A great transition scene that went over most people's heads.

The woman at the beach...Coney Island, is it?

She sings it while she is standing in the water too.
