“Time After Time” by @cyndilauper changed the trajectory of @bazluhrmann’s life. It accompanied the evolution of ‘Strictly Ballroom’ as it went from student play, to professional theater production, to Cannes, to one of the top-grossing Australian films of all time (with a new version recorded for the film). Baz told me the story of his relationship with the song in today’s episode of Key Change, out now on the Song Exploder podcast feed. Listen at songexploder.net/baz or wherever you get your podcasts.
