Fanmix: A Long Hard Road OST

Summary:

The working soundtrack for A Long Hard Road, the Iron Man Noir-verse sequel to Indelible.

Notes:

So, after almost a year, the noir!sequel is done. This is a selection of the music that I listened to while writing it. None of the music appears in the story, and some of it isn't technically within the correct time period, but I was going for feel rather than accuracy. Hopefully someone else out there will enjoy it was much as I did.

ETA: I forgot to talk about the cover! The photo is of a V-2 rocket, a design used during WWII. (For info, take a look over here.) Obviously, the photo does not belong to me. I just wanted something period-appropriate, since the plot revolves around Baron Zemo's rocket.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

01. Benny Goodman Sextet feat. Charlie Christian - "Rose Room"

[instrumental]

02. Jimmie Lunceford & His Orchestra - "'Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That Cha Do It)"

Says, "Things may come and things may go,
But this is one thing you ought to know!"
Oh, 'tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it

03. Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra - "I'll Be Seeing You"

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through

04. Count Basie & His Orchestra - "For the Good of Your Country"

I want an answer right away to this important question
Hey, You! What can you do? Will you do it?
For the good of your country!

05. Artie Shaw & His Orchestra - "Frenesi"

[instrumental]

06. The Union Boys - "You Better Get Ready"

He read off Adolph Hitler's name;
He said "Old Hell just ain't the same!
Compared to the fascists, Hell's too tame!"

07. Almanac Singers & Josh White - "Billy Boy"

Can you use a bayonet, charming Billy?
No, I haven't got the skill to murder and to kill.

08. Count Basie & His Orchestra - "One O'Clock Jump"

[instrumental]

09. Mills Brothers - "Till Then"

So pray that our loss is nothing but time
Till then, let's dream of what there will be
Till then, we'll call on each memory

10. The Andrews Sisters - "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

11. Frank Sinatra - "I Dream of You (More Than You Dream I Do)"

I want you so, more than you'll ever know,
More than you dream I do, I dream of you.

12. Harry James & His Orchestra feat. Kitty Kallen - "I'm Beginning to See the Light"

I never went in for afterglow or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light

13. Leadbelly - "Mr. Hitler"

Mr. Hitler, we gonna tear your playhouse down
You been flying mighty high but you on your last go-round

14. Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra - "Yours"

I've never loved anyone the way I love you
How could I? When I was born to be just yours.

15. Glenn Miller - "Moonlight Serenade"

[instrumental]

16. Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra - "When the Lights Go On Again (All Over the World)"

When the lights go on again all over the world, and the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above, a kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love”

17. Vera Lynn - "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square"

I may be right, I may be wrong, but I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me a nightingale sang in Berkley Square

18. Margaret Whiting - "That Old Black Magic"

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame

19. Les Brown & His Orchestra feat. Doris Day - "Sentimental Journey"

Gonna take a sentimental journey, gonna set my heart at ease.
Gonna make a sentimental journey to renew old memories.

May 2022: I've updated this with a link to a Spotify playlist.

Apologies for the severely truncated lyrics. Apparently, someone decided to report all my decade-plus-old fanmixes with too-lengthy quotes and broken links, so.... *shrug*
