This week's song of the week, Lean on Me, was inspired by the 1997 film A Life Less Ordinary, a quirky mix of comedy, fantasy, and romance starring Cameron Diaz and Delroy Lindo. The movie follows two angels on a mission to make an unlikely couple fall in love—because if they fail, they'll be stuck on Earth forever.

One pivotal scene, where an angel desperately writes a love letter to bring the humans together, sparked an instant creative moment for me—I heard the entire song in my head. In this episode, I'll share the story behind Lean on Me, why A Life Less Ordinary is one of my favorite films (despite its mixed reviews), and why you might want to watch it on your next date night.

Tune in, and as always, let me know what you think!
