Music that fits Alastor pt 1
I'm trying to edit Al with songs from his time, that also fit him as a character in some way. Here is one of them...
Mr. Radio Man 1924
Al Jolson (with Isham Jones & His Orch.)
Little broken hearted Sammy
Sitting on his Daddy's knee
Listening to the radio
But his heart is breaking so
Seems the angels took his Mammy
Any wonder why he cries
When his Daddy fell asleep
Little Sammy boy would creep
To the radio and cry...
Mr. Radio Man
Tell my Mammy to come back home
Won't you do what you can
`Cos I'm so lonely
I've been listening here every day
Since she went away
But no word from Heaven's been heard
Can't the angels hear me pray
When the sandman is nigh
And to slumberland I must go
I know she hears me sigh
Over my radio
When the reason I'm crying
And sighing, I'm all alone
Mr. Radio Man
Tell my mammy to come back home
Mr. Radio Man
Tell my Mammy, my Mammy to come back home
Won't you do won't you do what you can
Oooh! I'm so lonely
I've been listening in every day
Ever since she went away
But not a word from Heaven have I heard
Can't the angels hear me pray
When the sandman is nigh
And to slumberland I must go
I know she must hear me sigh
Over my radio
Oh, and the reason I'm, I'm sighing
And I'm crying, I'm so alone
Mr. Radio Man, please
Please tell my Mammy to come back home
I love old music and in me trying to find music specifically for a character, I found so much music and downloaded it from Internet Archive that I'll need to delete something soon...
Hopefully, I'll edit the thing (also planing to animate this)
