Speaking of her song being used in Tores' film, Eleanor said: "Paco Tores the spanish film maker, heard one of my songs I Hear You Breathing In on Sunshine Radio and decided it would be perfect for a sequence in his new film " El Vuelo Del Tren" ('The Magic Of Hope'). Strangely I have two recorded versions, with different arrangements. One from the Woman's Heart album and the other from my album 'Yola' I didn't at first know which one he wanted. He took both"
