All You Can Do Is Wait
Anne & Gilbert
I was in PEI last week for vacation, but too poor to go see any shows or anything. Instead, I bought soundtracks! I got ‘Anne & Gilbert’ as well as ‘Anne of Green Gables: The Musical,’ but A&G is far more my style. I’ve been listening to it nearly non-stop since I bought it, and not old yet. It may just be my new current favourite musical ♥
So, I want to share! I figure I’ll eventually upload all 15 songs, but I want to start with a very accessible one. It’s a love song, Gilbert pining for Anne. (If you don’t know that Anne and Gilbert are the main couple of the series, then I have no help for you.) Gilbert is sung by Peter Deiwick, and his voice is goooorgeous. Or maybe I can’t help falling in love with every incarnation of Gilbert Blythe? Either way.
Please listen! And if you like it, you can download it here (and the lyrics are here)
Tomorrow we start at the beginning of the show!
Did you read Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson? If so, what were your thoughts on it?
I have not read it but it sounds intriguing! When I do read it I will post my thoughts!
Thanks. I was all set to study for my exams then I HAD to get on Tumblr and stumble across your blog (which is simply amazing, by the way). Now I will get nothing done because I have to watch Anne of Avonlea. I have a feeling we're going to be bosom friends...
You are truly a kindred spirit ;) The same thing happened to me during exams this year. I watched the whole series over christmas break then when classes started again I had to watch it again….. and again
It is so awesome to find someone who loves Anne of Green Gables. I live in Alabama and seldom anyone knows about Anne of Green Gables.
Glad you found me! I live in Nova Scotia, where Anne was born and went to school in the books lol, so lots of people know about Anne but it is always a treat to find fans in other countries! :)
Oh God, I love you. It's so nice to know there are a lot of Anne & Gilbert fans like me. Aren't they just the sweetest and most perfect couple out there? ♥ I want a love like theirs. :)
Don’t we all! Anne and Gil have such a romantic love story. I still have hope :)
Thank you so much for having this blog!! Every time I see a quote from the books or movies posted, it makes me giddy (to put it simply). Anne of Green Gables has been my favorite book series since I read it; nothing can beat it. I'm so glad to see that others feel the same way, too :)
I feel exactly the same way! I have been watching the movies/reading the books since I was a kid and they still make me giddy :)
“But think of Green Gables now, Gilbert … the Lake of Shining Waters with a blue mist on it … the maples across the brook beginning to turn scarlet … the ferns golden brown in the Haunted Wood … and the sunset shadows in Lover’s Lane, darling spot. I find it in my heart to wish I were there now with … with … guess whom?
“Do you know, Gilbert, there are times when I strongly suspect that I love you!”
-Anne of the Windy Poplars
- Aunt Josephine Barry: You won't win that Blythe boy back by punishing him.
- Anne Shirley: I wonder why everyone seems to think I ought to be with Gilbert Blythe.
- Anne Shirley: Our friendship, it won't ever be the same now. Why can't he just be sensible instead of acting like a sentimental schoolboy?
- Marilla Cuthbert: Because he loves you.
- Anne Shirley: He loves me? I can't know why.
- Marilla Cuthbert: Because you made Josie Pye and Ruby Gillis and all of those wishy-washy young ladies who waltzed by him look like spineless nothings.
- Anne Shirley: Marilla, he's hardly my idea of a romantic suitor.
- Marilla Cuthbert: Anne, you have tricked something out of that imagination of yours that you call romance. Have you forgotten how he gave up the Avonlea school for you so that you could stay here with me? He picked you up everyday in his carriage so that you could study your courses together. Don't toss it away for some ridiculous ideal that doesn't exist. Hmm? Now, you come downstairs and see if a good cup of tea and some of those plum puffs I made today don't hearten you.
OMGSH I LOVE YOU FOR HAVING THIS BLOG.
ANNE AND GILBERT ARE TWO OF THE BEST CHARACTERS EVER. AND ONE OF THE BEST NOVEL COUPLES EVER.
I'M REALLY EXCITED TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM, AND ANNE OF GREEN GABLES!!!
ME TOO!! Since starting this blog I’ve found so many fellow AoGG fans!! It’s so exciting finding other people who share my passion! :)
Your blog is amazing! I'm rediscovering Anne of Green Gables and seeing your blog makes me super giddy about the whole thing!!!
Thank you! I too rediscovered Anne of Green Gables after reading it as a child! You appreciate so much more as an adult!!
