Thankyou John Lewis for this brilliant advert and Lola thankyou for your beautiful version of this classic song/ Electricdreams is my darling daughter Laura's original e-mail. She was killed aged 23 whilst driving in her own car by a drunk and drugged driver who came round a bend at 90 mph and smashed into her car in 2003. She chose the electricdreams e mail because she watched her first ever video at the age of 4years old and it was the film Electric Dreams. It was a wonderful film about a computer who was a bit like a butler and did everything for his computer wizard master.I (the computer)becomes very attached to his young man owner. When the guy falls in love with a girl, the computer becomes very sad and decides his master no longer needs him, so it decides to send itself a self destruct message that end it's life. Laura's older brothers explained that the poor computer was going to die and she was SO upset, She never forgot it and she eventually became a legal secretary and a computer engineer like her brothers choosing the videos name and the year she was born as her email. We played the song from the film ( Together In Electric Dreams by The Human League) at her funeral, The words are vey special and of the 500 friends and family who came, there was hardly a dry eye in the house, it is such a special and beautiful song , This has made my Christmas XXX
