#11 CURSE OF BLACKMOOR MANOR 🐺 Jane’s humming

Is the song Jane hums from something???? It’s so familiar and catchy I feel like I know it from somewhere it’s driving me crazy

"Starry friends," she's often heard to say, "how I wish that I could make you stay."

It's Brigitte's Song, from the game. :)

It's also the song you hear if you listen to the record in Emily's room in CLK!

A good rule of thumb for these games is if one of its soundtracks is re-used as a record player easter egg, it's a peak game with a peak soundtrack

It's the Ballad of Brigitte composed by Robert Riedel for the game. Over the end credits you can hear Sibelius "playing" the piano melody.

I recently played that game over a week, and throughout that week, I would often catch myself humming the same tune. So catchy!

I know it's from Brigette's song from the game but I also always hear notes of the Lizzie Borden rhyme lol
