A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
isabelle:
I know there was a thread about songs that remind us of BBM on the old board, but I have just discovered this song by P.J Harvey, a British singer I like a lot. It's called "Slow Drug" (and you feel like you're high too, when you listen to the tune ;D)
I thought this is what Ennis could've felt after the second tent scene (or the reunion romp in the motel).
Blue now is the colour,
Love, the drug I'm needing,
Got to keep this feeling.
With the headlights burning,
We're looking up for something,
Answers on the ceiling.
Watching out the windows,
Watch the way the wind blows,
Soon it will be morning.
Still the question lingers,
Twisted round my fingers:
Could you be my calling?
See this windboy falling,
Falling out of something,
It's the drug I'm needing.
Arrows that he's turning,
Need to keep this feeling,
Slow drug in the morning.
With the headlights burning,
Looking out for something
Something that we're needing (that I'm needing).
And still the question lingers,
Twisted round my fingers,
Could you be my calling?
So many things are there: the BLUE shirt, the HEADLIGHTS of the truck from which Ennis descends at dawn at the start of the film, those of Jack's pick-up too. The WIND that blew Jack Ennis's way, this drug that Jack becomes for Ennis... and of course that question about Jack being his calling, question that lingers TWISTed round his fingers...
Or is it just me showing serious signs of withdrawal symptoms as I have not seen BBM for well over a month now?? :'(
Toast:
I like to play a Ryan Adam's song from his
CD - Jacksonville City Nights
Pa
Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a grave
He found the lot where she'd lay
He drove to old man Ed Somerton's place
To find him some peace
He got there round about twelve
And he stayed 'till three
And the sun left him down in the valley
But the moon met him up in the hills by the lake
Reflecting the ghost of Ma's face
Suppertime came and went
No one heard from him
'Sis left his food on his plate
At the end of the table right next to ma's place
Where nobody sits
Telephone rang about four
My Sis answered it
And I felt the news through the floorboards
Like a long sullen moan,
like a wreck on the road
Like a joining of hands
Sha-la lala
Sha-la lala
Sha-la lala
Sha-la lala
So I drove to town yesterday
To pick out his grave
I found the lot where the'dy lay
I drove to old man Ed Somerton's place
To find me some peace
It isnt accurate with the time line of death
but it makes me wonder what it was like in the DelMar household
after the Mrs and Mr missed the only curve.
Why is there so much sadness in the world ??

Songs that instantly remind me of Brokeback Mountain? Well, I've got a nice one and a nauthy one.
The nice one first:
ANNIE'S SONG (John Denver)
You fill up me senses like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you
Come let me love you, come love me again.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
...Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you, come love me again.
You fill up my senses like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

And now the naughty one:
THE BAD TOUCH (Bloodhound Gang):
Ha-ha! well now we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about
I’d appreciate your input
Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I’ll bet you’ll feel nuts
Yes I’m siskel, yes I’m ebert and you’re getting two thumbs up
You’ve had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you’re out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my waffle house hashbrowns
Come quicker than fedex never reach an apex like coca-cola stock you are
Inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like daylight savings time
Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin’ horny now
Love the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of egypt only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? let me be specific I wanna be down in your south seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory
So if I capsize on your thighs high tide, b5 you sunk my battleship
Please turn me on I’m mister coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I’ll show you mine tool time you’ll lovett just like lyle
And then we’ll do it doggy style so we can both watch x-files
Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin’ horny now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals
So let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel
Gettin’ horny now

Gotta love them both... :P

I associate the movie very strongly with my favorite moody music. For anyone who hasn't had a chance to listen to the radio station Philip set up, give it a try. Really good selection of tunes.
I love the lyrics posted, they remind me of different aspects of the film. One song that really gets me that feels in synch is How Will You Go by Crowded House. The leisurely pace, the Finn brothers' amazing harmonies, and the "fell over on the couch" part, oy, gets me every time:
Escape is on your mind again
Escape to a far away land
At times it seems there is no end
To long hard nights of drinking
How will you go, how will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up, cover it up
I’ll find you a shelter to sleep in
I fell over on the couch again
But you know not all sleep is wasted
Your dreams are alcohol inspired
I can’t find a better way to face it
How will you go, how will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up, cover it up
I’ll find you a shelter to sleep in
And you know, I’ll be fine
Just don’t ask me how it’s going
Gimme time, gimme time
’cos I want you to see
’round the world, ’round the world
Is a tangled up necklace of pearls
How will you go, how will you go
Drive through the wind and the rain
Cover it up, cover it up
I’ll find you a shelter to sleep in
Just put the pillow over my face now....j/k.
