I said it was a series, and so now there’s a second one, and that makes it a series and me not a liar.
I know it’s cheap but any song that mentions flying, I am all over Poe singing it.
This one is not plot-significant, though it does appear explicitly; Poe sings snatches of it to himself while brushing his teeth, and Finn is charmed.
Of course the lyrics are slightly different.
But anyway. In-universe, I imagine, Nora’s [sic] dove is a reference to some sort of saga, and Poe isn’t quite so uh, bohemian-looking as Llewyn here. But this is another good atmospheric one, and also is, you know, actually Oscar’s performance, so you can really solidify his voice and range in your mind. (The faces Oscar makes in the Llewyn Davis performances, btw, are subtly not at all like the ones he does in his own stuff. Interesting, no?) (Nora’s dove, btw: the song is most famous from Dylan’s performance, I think, and he says “Noah’s dove”, which is obviously a Bible reference, but Dave Van Ronk’s idiosyncratic gender-switched performance of it features “Nora’s dove”, and that’s the extent of the research I’ve done.)
I’m going to run out of suitable Oscar Isaac performances after this, folks, so you’re gonna start having to use more imagination, but hold on with me here. Ride the momentum, if you will.
(Also I did in fact get a lot written today and we are crawling close to the end and I am procrastinating right now, can you tell? It doesn’t matter if literally nobody cares about these videos, I am compiling them to keep myself sane.)
