Sing to me the music of the night...
So I'm compiling odd playlists that will (hopefully) help me write my novel this November. I've decided upon my Beauty and the Beast retelling for sure, and I was listening to Beauty and the Beast music this morning and it made me feel so ready to write! So I'm putting together a playlist for each of my main characters: Noelle (the beauty) and Roman (the beast).
I'm going to be listening to my own music for a while and figuring out if there's anything that seems to fit. So far the only songs are from Beauty and the Beast, or Phantom of the Opera (which is really close to the same story, anyway). But there's a chance I'm missing out on some song that might be so appropriate but that I've never heard.
Here's where you come in: if you've got any songs that you think might be relevant to the tale of Beauty and the Beast, be they lyrical or instrumental, modern or classical, heavy metal or new age -- tell me about them! If you actually have the tracks as files, e-mail them to me at readingredhead07@yahoo.com (assuming your computer will be alright with e-mailing large files) because apparently students at Berkeley actually get caught for illegal filesharing and I don't want to pay money for something like mood music.
Don't worry if you're not sure whether the song will relate -- if you think it does, I'd love to hear it! Even if the reference is minimal or requires a lot of thought, that's okay. I know I mentioned it above, but it's totally okay to send music that doesn't have lyrics, because it's just as easy to get the mood from wordless pieces.
And don't feel obligated to help me, or go through all of your music searching for a song that would fit. Just...if you run into one over the next few months, think of me and let me know! Thanks a bunch!
