`Love on a Real Train, by Tangerine Dream



`Love on a Real Train is piece composed by Tangerine Dream, recorded in 1983 and included in the score for the iconic coming-of-age film `Risky Business.
I saw the forlorn woman and the train and thought Anna Karenina.
One YouTuber made this comment a year ago, in reference to the late 19th century novel by Leo Tolstoy.  I'm dying to know who this woman is and what the context of this video is.  She is evidently from well-heeled society, decades ago, and it's hard to tell whether she is waiting for a lover on a train that never quite arrives or she is pining for a lover who left on a train.  



I was just 23, going on 24 years old, when `Risky Business came out.  It was superb drama-cum-comedy, and the young Tom Cruise brilliantly pulls off the role of Joel Goodson, living in the well-to-do North Shore suburbs of Chicago. 

Rebecca De Mornay

I lusted after Rebecca De Mornay, now 54, too, just a month younger than I, following that erotic train ride.  Such evocative lovemaking to the strains of Tangerine Dream.
