My Claire Stanfield/Vino/Rail Tracer/all-purpose-Baccano!-playlist, with lyrics and links and downloads!
The problem with about 3/4 of my Baccano! playlist is that I got it from Chira first, whose amazing Baccano! fst you should definitely take a look at because it is glorious. I'm going to upload some of the ones taken from that fst, but not all of them-- the ones I specifically listen to/associate with Claire, to hopefully save Chira some bandwidth. The ones from that fst will have an asterisk next to them.
* The Wine Song ~ The Cat Empire ~ song/download/lyrics (My quintessential Claire song. Every inch of it is his personality and life philosophy, and just listening to it once gives you everything you will ever need to know about him.)
oh what a beautiful day today!
today's a day to celebrate
grab your bucket, grab your spade
we're heading down to half moon bay
i saw a plane go into a cloud
i'm drunk i'm singing i'm happy and loud
two o'clock in the arvo, but hey that's allowed
i'm having a good time and of that i am proud
Come Go With Me ~ The Del-Vikings ~ song/download/lyrics (This is the song I play whenever Claire kills someone/tortures someone/is being incessantly creepy or is thinking about doing those things. Which is often. I love the idea of this song playing in the background while there is some brutal murder scene happening.)
yes, i need you
yes, i really need you
please say you'll never leave me
well, say, you never
yes, you really never
you never give me a chance
Monster ~ Trentalange ~ song/download (Rail Tracer! This is a song I put in the "not from Claire's POV" category. Also, I can't find the lyrics for this anywhere so I typed them from memory; may not be accurate.)
they say you're a monster
with your stories and your schemes
you would lie just to bait me
to sit back and watch my silent screams
Ain't That a Kick In the Head (Remixed) ~ Dean Martin ~ song/download/lyrics (Claire looooooooooooooooves Chane :* :* :* :*)
the room was completely black
i hugged her and she hugged back
like the sailor said, quote "ain't that a hole in the boat"
my head keeps spinning
i go to sleep and keep grinning
if this is just the beginning, my life is gonna be beautiful
i've sunshine enough to spread
it's just like the fella said
tell me quick; ain't love a kick in the head
Who Walks In ~ RedSkunk Jipzee Swing Band ~ download (All the swank of Baccano! rolled up into one song. Couldn't find a youtube video for it since they're not well-known; same for lyrics. I also love this song because it has a very similar feel to one of the background pieces in the anime.)
who walks in when i walk out?
and don't you know you're my baby
who's that cat? got me jealous of you
when we kiss i kinda miss the way it used to be
every day when i'm away i get the feeling you're fooling me
* Moten Swing ~ The Count Basie Orchestra ~ song/download (Good old 1930s-era swing. I had this playing on Claire's journal until I ate all of Kiwi's bandwidth. :x)
Vuelvo Al Sur (Koop Remix) ~ Astor Piazzolla ~ song/download (Some kind of slow romance for the more tender moments in the series.)
La Mer ~ Chantal Chamberland ~ song/download/lyrics (This song reminds me of Chane, in perhaps a happier memory.)
La mer qu'on voit danser / the sea that one sees dancing
le long des golfes claires / along the clear gulfs
a des reflets d'argent, la mer / has reflections of silver, the sea
des reflets changeants sous la pluie / reflections changing under the rain
9:20 Special ~ Coleman Hawkins ~ download (Speakeasy-type music. Was also not on youtube.)
Petit Fleur ~ RedSkunk Jipzee Swing Band ~ download (The 1711 immortals, particularly Huey, Elmer, and Ronnie.)
Mack The Knife ~ Kevin Spacey ~ song/download/lyrics (This is a great all-purpose Mafia/Camorra song. Also, Kevin Spacey sounds uncannily like Bobby Darin.)
there's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
where a cement bag's just a'hangin' on down
oh, that cement is there strictly for the weight, dear
five'll get ya ten old macky's back in town
I may add more as I think of them. Let me know if there are any problems downloading! There hopefully won't be, but fyi about half these songs are in mp4, not mp3.
