Thanks for introducing me to some music I had never heard before, Alex!<br /><br />My novel, Jungle Jeopardy, was inspired by Indiana Jones. Sleepless in Seattle was part of the inspiration for Daddy's Christmas Angel.<br /><br /><a href="http://marymontaguesikes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Mary Montague Sikes</a> Notes Along the Way with Mary Montague Sikeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417679983279135001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-79283815586679152322014-09-21T07:53:50.280-04:002014-09-21T07:53:50.280-04:00I hope no one tries to hunt me down, but I liked t...I hope no one tries to hunt me down, but I liked the Radiohead version.

At the end, I thought... I bet I can use elements of that (true) story and work it into my next novel. And I still might:)<br /><br />Alex, I expected to prefer the Radiohead version but I didn't like it much at all. It sounded really monotone to me in too many places. Stream of Passion performed the song with more energy, the female vocalist was a much better singer, and the arrangement was much more pleasing to these ears. Chalk up a vote for Stream of Passion.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-19729875683010208652014-09-17T15:35:35.963-04:002014-09-17T15:35:35.963-04:00Thanks, Truedessa!
