Hey Fern me again 😂

My second request is going to a dance with Bob. My first thought was a vintage themed dance with Bob because he is such a gentleman.

Thank you 🩵

“And now! The Glen Miller Band and In the Mood!”

Jess! So I went straight 1940s/50s with this and I’m not sorry about it! Dancing with Bob would be a dream, especially when it came to the slow songs… he’d hold you so close, arms around you, and then when the music changed, he’d spin you around and give you the chance to shine!

The completed moodboards can be found here!

Welcome to this musical time travel adventure. The art of recording evolved at the same time the world was on fire. Two world wars and a depression in between was the backdrop to the beginnings of modern music. This is Pre-War America and, as long as you are an Apple Music or Spotify subscriber, you can experience it.

Aw you got 1940s playlist! Any songs from the playlist you enjoy?

I do! I actually made it specifically to pair with Letters to My Love! I love pretty much all the songs on it, so it would be hard to pick favorites 😂

I’ll link it here!

Kurt Weill -- Wie lange noch?

Singer: Soprano Brigitte Fassbaender Piano: Cord Garben

This is a strange and unsettling 1940's chanson from the perspective of a woman in an unhealthy relationship who is aware of the situation but cannot get herself to break up.

Look at me! Look at me! When comes the day where I tell you: it is over! When comes the day, ah, the day that I fear. How much longer? How much longer? How long?
