Strange things are happening!
I was perusing new posts in Google Reader and listening to music when I landed on Simon’s Song for a Sunday.
Worn Me Down by Rachael Yamagata, from the album Happenstance.
A very fine choice, but I was a little spooked because I was listening to that very album.
A differnt track though, and so I wandered over to YouTube to find a video for my track. And I found a video – Rachael Yamagata’s I Want You set against footage from the film of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
What a thing to find when I still haven’t quite recovered from the wonderful news that Nicola Beauman is coming to my library!
Here’s the video:
I’ll get back to writing about books soon – and I do have a few gems to write about – but all of this excitement has me a little distracted right now.
I’m tempted to go and dance around my Persephone bookcase!
Loved that movie (loved the book even more). Great song, too!
Now that’s just eery! Clearly, you and Simon had sort of mind-meld!
That music video has made me quite determined to rewatch Miss Pettigrew again. I watched it when it first came out but haven’t seen it since I read the book for the first time last year.
Ooh I love when things like this happen 🙂 Have fun with the Persephone Dance! Sounds like something all Persephone fans should indulge in from time to time.
What a wonderful coincidence! Just shows what good taste we have.
