Hello, Sping. The Bay Area just ended Winter with a freaking heat wave, and I'm glad it's over and that we're set to enjoy milder spring weather in the coming days. Seeing as how it's still hot where I am, I'm unable to go to bed and have been diverting myself with stuff to feed my brain for my weekend writing.
You know, I actually debated adding this song to the gallery page for Doppelgänger, but I honestly didn't start listening to this until the tail end of that book's creation. I didn't listen to any song at all for inspiration, and it was solely by accident that I ran across this one again after a long spell of forgetting it existed.
Maybe it's sentimental of me to use it, but as it does have a lullaby-like quality, I imagine this melody being hummed by Marguerite when putting little Théodore to bed.
I've also listened to the English versions of the song, but I don't know how faithful of a translation they are to the original French (the title might come close enough with the English being "Mockin' Bird Hill").
At any rate, it's a melancholy touch if I were to apply it to the book and the LaSalle family's backstory. I'm not adding it to the gallery page, though, but posting about it here is good enough. In the meantime, I'm also not listening to any songs for The Shadow Groom although one of the book's original prompts (besides being inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale) was the Gothic album from Nox Arcana, which I listen to religiously alongside other albums from them.
Hell, given the way my brain works, I might end up recycling ideas that Gothic gave rise to for a future book.
