Okay, more music for those who asked for it (well, they didn't actually ask for it but showed some interest about it, so for them, here comes more).

Jeremy Northam's other songs in Gosford Park:

I can give you the starlight
What a Duke should be
Why isn't it you?
The Land of Might-Have-Been

And as I was at it, I remember I told koalathebear about a song I like about 'rain'. So here it, for you, lady.

I'm only happy when it rains by Garbage ( the lyrics )

And to finish the post a couple of songs that appear in Queer as Folk, because apart from having great characters, the series has the best soundtrack ever! A lot of disco music, that I love...

Two examples:

Relight My Fire by Take That (My sister and I simply love to sing this song ;P) ( its lyrics )

Crying at the Discoteque by Alcazar I love the song since the first time I listened to it! ( and the lyrics )

All are sendspace links. If they stop working let me know ;)

I think I mentioned how much I love Queer as Folk last episode of season 1. In that one Brian is finally 30 and has an unusual way to celebrate something that really kills him... So he buys a lovely silk scarf and has a private party for himself at his loft.

The first time I watched it I fell in love with the music playing during that scene and luckily I've found it.

I think I haven't said that I love 20s, 30s and 40s music... The kind of music I've heard in movies like Memphis Belle, Swing Kids, The English Patient, etc...

Well, the song I mention is (for what I've read) from the twenties but in a curious and satisfactory mix. The title is Happy Feet and it's by Jack Hylton & His Orchestra (didn't know them, :S , what makes me feel a bit ashamed, probably I should). I would love to read what some other people think about it, so here it is if you want to give it a try.

And, now that I'm talking about this kind of music and songs, I remember that not long time ago koalathebear talked about Jeremy Northam in some post and in my head Jeremy Northam + music from the 20s = Gosford Park, where he plays Ivor Novello.

In that movie Jeremy Northam sings, quite nicely several Ivor Novello's songs, my favorite being 'And Her Mother Came Too'. It's one of those funny and witty songs and I simply adore it, apart from enjoying singing along every time I listen to it. You can check the song (and Jeremy's singing) here.

I watched Possession and Orlando the other day and I love both of them! I really enjoyed costume dramas and movies *sigh*. I haven't made icons from Orlando yet but I have made some from Possession, plus some from Anna Karenina (Sean Bean and Sophie Marceau version) and BBC's North & South.
