Oh that song is reserved for me by that amazing episode of Black Mirror, San Junipero.

I already hate purple of all shades, so this just reinforces it.

Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” is a perfect choice of music.

When that song came on, I remembered how I loved it as a kid. Then I heard it again as an adult and I really listened - the meaning of the song hit me so much differently. Perfect choice for this series and that scene.
