I didn't know Tim Curry could sing operatically!

Picked up the Soundtrack from the 1947 movie The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
Music is composed by Bernard Herrmann (maybe you've heard of him 🙄😄) ; he regarded it as his finest work.

Somehow, I have not heard of this film before. If you have seen it, what is it like? Worth the watch?

Seen it? ...hmm...... seen it ......seen it .....yes, I've seen it a few times.
Number of times I've watched it is, well, I've used up the fingers on both hands and the toes on my right foot, and am on the 2nd toe of my left foot.
So I leave it to you to decide if I think it's worth the watch. 😉

It is based on a book, a novelette a little over a hundred pages. I just read the book for the first time about 2 months ago.
More often than not, I will read the book first on which a movie is based.
I did not do so this time because the first time I saw the movie I did not know it was based on a book until it was mentioned in the credits, which in the older "classic movies" roll at the beginning of the movie, not at the end.
So I wasn't going to postpone watching the movie right then (this was in the the late 70s) just to read the book.
Bernard Herrmann's score was already playing and that just completely hooked me and reeled me in.
Anyway, the movie follows the book pretty closely, and in retrospect I'm glad I watched the movie first.
As for what it's about, well just watch it "cold" (often times the best way) **

N.B. Avoid at all costs the TV series (made in the late 60's I believe ) "based on the movie".
The people that come up with these doofus ideas should be exiled to one of the lower circles of Hell...

** The first time I watched Casablanca early in the 1990s I only knew it was hailed as a great classic; I didn't even know where Casablanca was.
I was captivated; it is my favorite movie. And I truly believe (as do many others ) that it is the greatest movie ever made . . . not was, is.

Sorry, but after listening to this I don't want to listen to anything else.

Ah, and the Valier exist, she is one of them.

Came across this song today. They are a new band just starting out, but I think they are really good!

Came across this artist last night.

I just discovered this instrument existed! A microtonal harpsichord. 😮 ❤️

Stumbled upon this absolute gem while browsing TikTok. It sounds off but in a good way. I think it's a great first song to introduce someone to Black Metal. Maybe you 😅

More cats.

I love when I grow addicted to songs I don't understand, listening them for weeks day and night, and when I look up a translation, it makes even more sense, because it's literally of me, so from there on, I need more of it.

You torture animals and me too
Every word is stroke and stitch
You like to chafe at other people's suffering
Anointed in treachery and spite

The soul has, from all the hating
Left your body long ago
You don't die and don't let others live
There will be no love and pity

Are you born without a heart?
Or have you lost it?
Has it been broken?
Jabbed by another hand?
Just disappeared like that?
I searched and didn't find anything
Suffering and pain every day
You have no heart

Malice is your constant companion
The shadow remains, but you just move on
Your brain a battlefield day and night
No prisoners will be taken
Anything that comes too close to you will burn
You are what is simply called heartless
In your chest it's cold and empty
There is and stands no live anymore

Are you born without a heart?
Or have you lost it?
Has it been broken?
Jabbed by another hand?
Just disappeared like that?
I searched and didn't find anything
Suffering and pain every day
You have no heart

Everyone has a heart
I have a heart too
But you don't have one
So I'll give you mine

Are you born without a heart?
Or have you lost it?
Has it been broken?
Jabbed by another hand?
Just disappeared like that?
I searched and didn't find anything
Suffering and pain every day
You have your heart

These are two of my favorite songs from the artist DPR Ian. He is an Australian Korean singer. He has Bipolar and Dissociative Identity Disorder. So he uses his music videos to tell stories of what he goes through.

He's a favorite of mine too, and I've been pushing his stuff here since first discovering him! Example:

Cool! Nice to see I'm not the only one that knows who he is!
