Music To Fic To

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

Some others have graciously shared music of the era/flavor of that in which Wodehouse has set many of his stories, in particular the Jeeves & Wooster stories, and I'd like to add to the bounty.  I've also found a few other pieces that are other versions of some of the same songs that have been shared, as well as some new works.  I'll likely share some of them, too.  I'm building a lovely play list to listen to when I'm working on Jooster fic and I'd be surprised if there aren't some others with similar notions.

These two songs are from the soundtrack of the movie "Amelie" which I absolutely love.
Since I've had my head buried in ficcing, it's colored a lot of other things.  I'd, of course, heard them many times before, but suddenly, when I was listening to the soundtrack while writing, I realized these just had to go in my Jooster Mix.  So, I'm offering them to any who want to add them to their own mixes.

Guilty (Russ Columbo)  This couldn't be MORE Jooster if it tried.

Si Tu N'Étais Pas Là (Frehel)  I'm seeing a trip to Paris for Bertie and Jeeves, of course they've got to go out to a nightclub, right?  This might be one of the stage acts, non?

Please let me know if the links don't work or there's something otherwise askew.

Thanks, coves & fillies, and enjoy.

Oh man, I've loved Guilty for so long, but I would never have thought to compare it to Jooster. Amelie is absolutely one of my favorite movies. Amazing soundtrack.

*grin* Yay! Another fan of Amelie!
I never thought of it that way before, but it just hit me this week and I was like "OMG! That could SO be Bertie & Jeeves' song!"

EDIT: fer punchewashun & shpellin

Oh! Thank you very much for sharing! *grabs and listens*

Guilty is...just...perfect.

Si Tu does sound like it would be sung in a nightclub and the lyrics are also absolutely fitting for Jooster writing. *lovey sigh*

Very welcome!

Oh, I don't remember but a teensy fraction of my French - I should look it up and see if there's an Anglais version.

I thought I new these songs! :D Yeah, its a great movie... :)
Just one thing; it's not called Amalie but Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. Just pointing things out here, no offense. ^^

No offense taken at all! I corrected the spelling of Amelie in the posting. I am never offended by corrections (especially when they're so polite! *smile*), since I'd rather have my facts straight.

My very weak excuses are A- bad memory for the spelling, and B- The CD soundtrack art shows "Amelie" large and clear, but the rest is teeny.

I've been planning to look up the composer/artist who did the majority of the music and see if he/she has anything else out there.

Oh, thanks so much! I'm such a huge fan of the music of that era, but I don't have very much of it.

You're very welcome!
BTW, your icon made me grin :D

I already had 'Guilty' inserted into ironicbees's mix on my player, although I didn't associate it with jooster specifically. Amelie is a great movie, thanks for sharing and reminding.

[random-nexus.livejournal.com]

Utterly tickled to do so!
:D

I downloaded these earlier but completely forgot to comment, so before I forget again, thank you for sharing these!
