Dru music

[indri]

With this Dru fic, I'm writing lots of separate scenes all out of order, knowing I'm going to have to ditch half of them before sewing the other half all together, and then will have to rewrite most of it anyway to get the proper pacing. But for now it's still an entertaining, free-form way to write, quite different from my usual painstaking line-by-line accretion. And I find that if I'm listening to music, a new scene may just pop into my head.

So, what music reminds you of Dru?

[Bad joke of the day: I passed a shop this morning selling lacy, high-waisted dresses, and I thought, "They're selling Dru-frock!" Drufrock is no doubt one of TS Eliot's lesser-known works, a companion volume to his Book of Practical Hats.]

Nope, I got nothing. Which surprised me. I kinda assumed that any old goth would be drusilly. (heh.) But not really. Their were some songs I vetted, e.g., part of the soundtrack for Requiem for a Dream, that put me in the same sort of mood as Drusilla eps but that tenuous connection was as close as I got.

Rasputina wins the day. Gingerbread Coffin in particular:

We found an old doll that was out in the grass,
She had special powers, we said a Black Mass.
We sat in a circle all holding hands. The
Doll-bed held together with old rubberbands.
...
Oh, Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin.
She's so pretty all layed out in white.
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin.
When we need her, she'll rise to the light...

more lyrics (from an ad free site, as far as I can tell)

Now finding Spike music is easy as pie microwave popcorn.

Cool! Thanks!

I'm running off to work just now but I'll have a listen when I get home tonight. The first few bars are tantalising...

OK, deleting post since it seems like you got it. :)
