Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

Thanks Renée. This has been fun.

Margo,

Yes. Every breath you take, every move you make . . . I agree that is a very on point song.

I simply adore Sting! So, thank you Margo!

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

I've always thought the song "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak a good representation of FD's feelings for E leading up to his proposal and immediately following. It's all about repressed desire and longing - all the things that can't be said in a regency novel but were running through his head the whole time. The song talks about how he doesn't want to fall in love with her but his desire leads him on. He also goes on to say that she is wicked for telling him she never felt the same for him (totally Hunsford to me). Anyway, here are the lyrics for anyone who has never heard of this oldie.

My world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't want to fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I don't wanna fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
And I want to fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
With you

My world was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I wanna fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
No I wanna fall in love
[This world is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
No I.....

Nobody loves no one

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

Oh, Lisa, I absolutely agree, especially:

Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you


Perfect!

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

High time to revive this thread...

I can't help thinking of P&P when hearing Patience by Take That. Can't help it, I love it!

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

I don't know if you are gonna agree with me, but this song, well, at leat the first part of it, reminds me of P&P, when Lizzy doesn't see that Darcy is in love with her and looks at her to criticize!

Beautiful and Strange

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart, unseen.
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see, lyric's top
And you'll realise that you love me.

Yeah...
Yeah...

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep,
I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep 'cos I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me, yeah...

Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...
Yeah...

I only recently discovered Natasha Bedingfield thanks to our esteemed authoress Abby B.

LOVE her Soulmate!

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

I was listening to this old song by Neil Diamond and I immediately thought of the fail proposal. I will see if I can find the music too. But the lyrics is so great!

It's a lesson
too late for the learning
made of sand, made of sand

in the wink
of an eye my soul is turning
in your hand, in your hand

Chorus:
are you going away?
with no word of farewell
will there be not a trace
left behind.
well I could have loved you better
I didn't mean to be unkind
you know, that was the last thing on my mind

you got reasons a plenty for going
this I know, this I know
for the weeds
have been steadily growing
please don't go, please don't go.

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

I love this thread! It's fun.
My contribution is an old song by Atlanta Rhythm Section (don't listen to them particularly, just heard it on the radio recently) called So Into You. The music's good - kinda sultry. The lyrics make me think of Darcy @ Rosings before his proposal

When you walked into the room
there was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
but I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinkin' how it's gonna be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good
Don't you know? (head to toe)
I'm gonna love you all over
Over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you

Come on baby, you're driving me crazy.

*Sigh*

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

Good one, Margo. I LOVE The Police/Sting.

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

A little late, maybe, but I was just wondering lately about songs that fit to P&P, so I decided to post here

I always associate P&P with Beauty and the Beast, not that Darcy is a beast or something (oh no! FAR from that!!), but because he changes when he learns how to love, just like the Beast. So, here the theme song of the Disney movie!

Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast

So, what do you think?

Re: Which song do you associate with Pride and Prejudice?

Wonderful choice, Marloes. I consider P&P as a beauty and the beast story too.
