For my character, her theme sound is I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse. Not so much in that she cheats on her boyfriend; more in that she feels like she’s cheating her love interest out of the one thing he wants the most.BR/BR/If I say more, you’ll get mad at me for giving away a major plot point.BR/BR/Cheers,BR/Mary
jk:BR/I hadn’t thought about it for my characters, though I do play certain music when I working on some scenes. I am a major music junkie–have DAYS of music on my iPod. Lately, as a theme, I’m partial to Joni Mitchell’s version of Both Sides Now . . . and Keep the Car Running by The Arcade Fire. My “theme” song my whole life, the song that always got me pumped up, was Brass in Pocket by the brilliant Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders.BR/E
Mary — I don’t know that I’d be mad… I’m looking forwrd to reading the book. Since you blogged about Winehouse, I’ve been hearing her everywhere!BR/BR/Erica — Good songs all. I love the “new” Mitchell version of Both Sides Now, the one from her album, Dreamland. Age has added such depth to her reading of the song. Sends chills down my spine. It’s on my character playlist too.
