Brief Encounters is a studio album by French singer Amanda Lear, released in 2009 by independent label Just Good Music for Your Ears.
Amanda Lear met the singer and producer Enrico Petrelli in Paris in 2008, and started working on the album in the autumn of 2008, with recording sessions taking place in Rome and Paris. Together with PMG (Prolific Media Group) producers Carl M Cox and Nathan Thomas, she recorded a song called "Doin' Fine", previously recorded by Australian singer-producer Peter Wilson. Wilson and his songwriting partner Chris Richards have contributed four songs to the album, however, only two would make the cut, while the other two were included in Lear's next musical project. PMG continued to work with Amanda in 2009 producing two remixes of the ballad "Someone Else's Eyes".
Lear announced that new album was in the works in late 2008 on French and Italian TV. The album was then previewed at the annual Midem music conference in France on 18–20 January. Originally scheduled for April 2009 release, then the summer, it was eventually released on 16 October 2009 in Italy. A two CD set, Brief Encounters consists of downtempo pop songs and ballads on disc 1 ('For the Heart'), and uptempo dance tracks and remixes on disc 2 ('For the Feet'). The album included a number of cover versions of tracks like Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black", Lenny Kravitz's "I Belong to You" and Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" alongside new songs, written mainly by Enrico Petrelli and Amanda Lear.

Gregory Crewdson (born September 26, 1962) is an American photographer. He photographs tableaux of American homes and neighborhoods.
Crewdson was born in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. He attended John Dewey High School, graduating early.
As a teenager, he was part of a punk rock group called The Speedies that hit the New York scene. Their song, "Let Me Take Your Photo" proved to be prophetic to Crewdson's future career. In 2005, Hewlett Packard used the song in advertisements to promote its digital cameras.
In the mid 1980s, Crewdson studied photography at SUNY Purchase, near Port Chester, NY. He received his Master of Fine Arts from Yale University. He has taught at Sarah Lawrence, Cooper Union, Vassar College, and Yale University, where he has been on the faculty since 1993. He is now a professor at the Yale University School of Art. In 2012, he was the subject of the feature documentary film Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters.
Crewdson is represented by Gagosian Gallery worldwide and by White Cube Gallery in London.
Brief Encounter is a 1945 British film directed by David Lean about British suburban life, centering on Laura, a married woman with children whose conventional life becomes increasingly complicated because of a chance meeting at a railway station with a stranger, Alec. They inadvertently but quickly progress to an emotional love affair, which brings about unexpected consequences.
The film stars Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway and Joyce Carey. The screenplay is by Noël Coward, based on his 1936 one-act play Still Life. The soundtrack prominently features the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, played by Eileen Joyce.
In the latter months of 1938, Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson), a respectable middle-class British woman in an affectionate but rather dull marriage, tells her story while sitting at home with her husband, imagining that she is confessing her affair to him.
Laura, like many women of her class at that time, goes to a nearby town every Thursday for shopping and to the cinema for a matinée. Returning from one such excursion to Milford, while waiting in the railway station's tea shop, she is helped by another passenger, who solicitously removes a piece of grit from her eye. The man is Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard), an idealistic doctor who also works one day a week as a consultant at the local hospital. Both are in their late thirties or early forties, married and with children.

rare soul
Meeting a stranger in a railway station, a woman is tempted to cheat on her husband. Director: David Lean Stars: Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway
Two strangers, both married to others, meet in a railroad station and find themselves in a brief but intense affair.
Filmed over a decade, Brief Encounters follows internationally renowned photographer Gregory Crewdsons quest to create his unique, surreal, and incredibly elaborate portraits of suburban life. He sets a house on fire, builds 90 foot sets with crews of sixty, shuts down city streets...all in the service of his haunted image of American life, and his own anxieties, dreams and inner desires. Brief Encounters is an intimate portrait of one of the most heralded image-makers of our time.
We are bored, we are married, we are young
On the edge of the city, the edge of Ambrosia
Rolls upon, rolls upon, rolls upon the tongue
A certain party, a certain cul-de-sac
A certain outcome, a certain piece of me
Car keys, choose your keys, car keys, choose your keys
Outside alone crossing a perfect lawn
Ah, could it be you? Could it be you?
Could it be you or could it be, this is what freedom is?
We are brief encounters, we all lose our keys
We all choose our partners, we all choose our keys
Car keys, choose your keys, car keys, choose your keys
Pull back, pull back into the drive
Rigid in the matrimonial superking bed
Pretend to sleep, pretend to sleep, come on pretend
Yeah, let's pretend, yeah, let's pretend, yeah
We are brief encounters, we all lose our keys
We all choose our partners, we all choose our keys
Car keys, choose your keys, car keys, choose your keys
Car keys, choose your keys, car keys, choose your keys
