Here is a song of loneliness, longing, and hope.
Iris Dement singing Pretty Saro in the movie Songcatcher.

_____
When I first come to this country in eighteen and forty nine
I saw many fair lovers, but never saw mine
I viewéd it all around me, Saw I was quite alone
And me a poor stranger and a long way from home

Fare thee well to old mother. Fare thee well to father too.
I'm going for to ramble this wide world all through
And when I get weary, I'll sit down and cry
And I'll think of my Saro, Pretty Saro, my dear.

Well I wish I was a turtle dove, had wings and could fly
Just now to my love's lodging tonight I'd draw nigh
And in her lily-white arms I'd lie there all night
And I'd watch the little windows for the dawning of day.

1. "Coming" from Orlando

by David Motion & Jimmy Somerville

2. That is pretty

I had forgotten all about that movie. I'll have to re-rent it.

:)

3. I used to have my fave movie songs in a folder somewhere :(

I lost it I guess. It was long ago..
Anyway this needs a bump, I wanna see a list, Mofo's

[crim son]

13. Is that from the book by Virginia Woolf?

I think I remember hearing a movie was made of "Orlando" but I never saw it. Great song, great scene. I'm going to look for it.

[Inchworm]

15. I'm 99.9% pretty sure

Orlando lived a very long time. That's all I remember about the movie.

:hi:

[crim son]

16. Several lives.

Male and female, mainly male. It seems to me it was based on an affair Woolf had with... dammit, what was her name? I had to google it: Vita Sackville-West, a woman of noble descent who didn't inherit the family estate because she was female. :eyes:

Virginia Woolf is just about the most fascinating person I've ever read about. Orlando is a great book, too!

[stuntcat]

18. very very worth a watch!

I haven't watched it in years but it used to be my #1 favorite of all movies. It's filmed beautifully and not over-acted/over-produced like some period movies are (I think)

[crim son]

19. Thanks.

I will most definitely look for it!

[stuntcat]

20. (and I didn't read the book) :blush:

:blush: I'll get to it though, I swear.

Let Go by Frou Frou

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcIpKL86Jk

drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like


So, let go,let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can't await
your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply


So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown




So, let go, so let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's alright
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, yeah let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

8. Tiny Dancer

Already a good song, but I never dug it like I did after seeing Almost Famous.

Scene from the movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU

Bonus video of Dave Grohl performing it acoustic and talking about how he loves it in Almost Famous: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2mZ9SJL6yNc

14. Yes- this added life

To an already good song.

Thanks!

12. "Born Slippy" by Underworld, from Trainspotting comes to mind...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYUYcByvvqE

And "Where Is My Mind?" by Pixies, from Fight Club
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EE59Ex5Px4

[Inchworm]

17. Thats the movie!

I had nightmares as an adult about a baby crawling on the ceiling. Was that a scene in Trainspotters?

Cool tunes.

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

24. Trainspotting, and yes, that scene is in the film.

[crim son]

21. Some may find this cheesy but I've always loved it:

Julia from 1984

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ytq7jeMNGQQ

When the leaves
Turn from green to brown
And autumn shades
Come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid

When winter leaves her branches
bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling
Will we still be there?

Julia

When spring rejoices
Down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be
Just the same
Will we be there?

Oh Julia

[Inchworm]

22. That is Pretty

I have "1984" on my saved list on Netflix. I don't guess this movie made it to DVD yet? I really want to see it.

:hi:

[crim son]

23. IMHO, it's an awful movie.

However, my opinion is not always shared by others, especially when it comes to movies. :D :hi:

[Inchworm]

25. Hehe

But see.. I don't really read. One of the only books I've read front to back is 1984. I want to experience that "the book is much better than the movie" feeling before I kick.

:D

[crim son]

28. Then this is your opportunity!

Seriously. :)
