Mostly gonna be recycling requests from previous rounds, I think:
Book Smart, Street Stupid - Sarah Slean:Lyrics | Youtube
This always made me think of a university student finding her way at a time when not many women were able to attend. Not sure about prompts yet (other than historical) but I love the feel of it.
It's about Cassandra of Troy, but I've always wanted a modern day/future apocalyptic sort of take on her - trying to warn people about some impending doom and not being believed.
Vivid ensemble cast with a ton of tiny backstory snippets to expand. "There was Yodelling Elaine, the queen of the air, who wore a dollar sign medallion, and she had a tiny bubble of spittle around her nostril, and a little rusty tear for she had lassoed and lost another tipsy sailor" <3
Small Town Dracula - Hawksley Workman (video):Lyrics | YouTube
I already loved the song but was so ridiculously charmed by the video. Weary vampire dad or grandad and overexcitable tiny vampire child.
Favourite Cohen cover. With a woman singing, it makes me want some kind of historical/fantasy wartime melancholy f/f love epic...
When the End of the World Came - The Jane Austen Argument:Lyrics | Youtube
"When the end of the world came it passed like an awkward remark" is just about my favourite opening lyric to a song ever <3
Still dithering on the others. Definitely some Bowie but I have to choose one from a ridiculously long list (probably Cygnet Committee or Memory of a Free Festival or something from Outside). Also maybe one of Rufus Wainwright's fairytale type songs, either Evil Angel or The Consort.
