Actually, that When You Say Nothing At All is from that movie too. It's a soundtrack. :lol I didn't know about this one. Will need to listen it! :up

Yeah, I know, that's why I came to think of "She", since you suggested "When you say nothing at all" and it made me think of "Notting Hill" :blush :loveeyes :smug Wonderful movie!!

This is so beautiful, Van. I really love it. :loveeyes When I listened I saw scene where our lovebirds are staying to window and thinking about each other. They remembering all they romantic and touching moments, and miss each other, 'cuz he is in Milton, but she - in London after returning in it after all what happened. This is my image when I listened this wonderful music! :heart

Ooooh, the cello is a wonderful instrument! I am totally jealous that you have someone in your family who plays it. Is that your brother who just got married? I have a brother who plays the violin, but I like the deeper tunes of the cello better :)

Your idea of doing a You've Got Mail / North and South crossover has reminded me that I also sometimes like to listen to the soundtrack while writing something for N&S. Especially the song "Empty store", love that scene:

This crossover sounds awesome. Will it be modern like your others?

BTW do you have any sisters? I only have one brother.

Are y'all familiar with the earlier variations, the Jimmy Stewart movie Shop Around the Corner, and the fantastic musical She Loves Me? So great!! All based on a 30's Hungarian play, Parfumerie, which I've never read. I absolutely love the musical. They never made a movie of it but Julie Andrews was in talks to do one I believe at one time in the 60s. There is a filmed version from Broadway from a few years ago that's really good. It's got a great score, written by Jerry Bock who also wrote Fiddler on the Roof. Before the Broadway revival it was one of those little known shows that only hard core musical theater geeks knew about but we were obsessed with it. :love :love

For me it’s Aurora - Exist For Love (I’m a big fan of her like I knew all the lyrics from her songs) :love

“They say there is a war between a man and a woman
I’ve never felt like this before, my heart knew that I couldn’t


I mean the lyrics already told it all :sob

White Flag by Dido is my latest N&S song.



I think parts of the lyrics are accurate from both John and Margaret's POV.

"I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
Destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of 'it's over'
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be"

Also, Dido is cute as a button and it's a lovely song.

HI, I'M BACK.

Got a new one.

This song has played on Sirius XM's 'First Wave' channel ("80's alternative!" basically new wave) several times in the last few weeks since I've been back in Ohio. Some of you know better than me, this was a super group that included Johnny Marr (!!!!), Neil Tennant (!!!), and the lovely Bernard Summer.

And I read into the lyrics and oh Gosh.

I get moody Thornton vibes of not feeling worthy of Margaret, etc.

Instead of one of those nicely brushed HD'fied videos, I decided to attach the Top of the Pops video here.



Please let me know if I'm insane for finding a connection between this song and moody Thornton. XD

"I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away)
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you I couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away with it)
All my life (getting away)
However I look, it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
(More than you love me)
I thought I gave up falling in love a long, long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life
I've been talking to myself
Just to suggest that I'm selfish (getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do what he said)
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
However I look, it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
(I love you more than you love me)
I love you more than you love me
Getting away with it
Getting away with it"
