I've just recently realised that another theme we probably ought to bring out is a love of nature, as it's such a huge part of everything L.M. Montgomery writes--I wish I could write about the city the way she writes about the natural world, with such poetic clarity and intimacy. And, y'know, stars & constellations might be nice. ^-^ Then again, I may be throwing too many themes out there, but maybe one of them will jog either of our memories as to songs we've got knocking about.
Anyway, and I suppose on that topic, I've got another song that may or may not work--the main problem is that it's about nine minutes long, which could be awkward. It being so very long, not every bit fits, but--look, the song is even calledEmily (http://www.fromamouth.com/milkymoon/lyrics.htm#Emily), and it's got that love of nature, and lines like 'you came and lay a cold compress upon the mess I'm in'. The live version I've got (which is, unfortunately, not up at Milky Moon at the moment) sounds like...Appalachian and classical music mixed together with something indefinable. Did I mention Joanna Newsom is a harpist? (And she also has the weirdest voice ever, but I love it. Check out her video (http://music.yahoo.com/ar-310541-videos--Joanna-Newsom) for 'The Sprout & the Bean'.) Hopefully I will be ordering her album Ys from Amazon Marketplace soon with some of my Christmas money.
Lyrically, I'm particularly fond of 'Feather Moon' and 'Gravity'--'Feather Moon' has got some of the same colours in it that Montgomery's writing often does. I am definitely sensing a rich shot of crimson. (Er. Yes. I'm one of those barmy people who thinks in colour. ^-^)
...I wonder if we could shake our muses into order and attempt to write wee ficbits to go along with whatever tracks we end up choosing for the final mix? I daresay my muse needs a good dusting and possibly some oil. And, y'know, the universe needs Dean-fic.
