Nausea (Sartre): Some of these days (Instrumental)

[PatrisMerso]

"And then all of a sudden, there it was, clear as day: existence had suddenly unveiled itself."

[MikelDeltoya]

I listened the Cab Calloway song, that was like going to the novel. but i don't know.

[blackhorse84]

It could be the version with Ethel Waters but the intro is not that long

[fallenpumpkinhead]

i instantly read the comments and felt very attached to these people

[MissBophaLokei]

i'd sooo like to be able to listen to that song in nausea

[Katzone]

Guys ...The nausea is a fiction book..not an article ..whether Sartre put into it ..was pure fiction ...Please...!

[DaNes200581]

simply wonderful

[DaNes200581]

: )

[Pumalex84]

Does somebody knows what is the song that Antoine talked about?

[zankokuslayer]

thanks

[nigouer]

so.. if your right, nusea would have never be written without this peice of black music. so if your right, blacks have invented existanicalism. so much for white supermacists.....

[mineralturbo]

@nigouer ahhahahahahaahahhaahh hahahahahahahahahhah

hahahahahahahahahahahahaah

you have just make my day ahhahahahahaahhaah

[electropollos]

Roquentin talks about a black singer in "La Nausee" because in her beginnings, the original singer of the song, Sophie Tucker, used to paint her face black in her performances, thats why Sartre mentions a black singer. She later said that this was at the insistence of theatre managers, who said she was "too fat and ugly" to be accepted by an audience in any other context.

@electropollos

Great news! I did not know that! So it's really Tuckers voice mentioned on Sartre's Nausea! Thanks!

[Somethingreallycool]

It's really weird.

The music is happy, but it haunts me.

[augustomariante]

Simply wounderful! This plays in the novel!

I love it so much! Louis Armstrong has been the Bach of the America! Let's face the music and dance!

Sartre? Well, Sartre is Sartre!

Antonio Augusto from Brazil

Sophie Tucker's vocal version is the one alluded to in the Sartre text, but not by name, since the story is about indeterminates and nuances all melding into a mood of poignant anhedonia.

Reputedly, Sartre was also recalling some mescaline experimentation in the imagery, as well.

A classic modernist cry~ that Nietzsche had already answered a half century before this book was written with his aphorism:

"Man would rather have the Void for a purpose than be void of purpose."

[dokydoc]

La nausée : some of theses days, days, days.... J.P.Sartres

[jefi25]

Antoine Roquentin: el sonido no es compasivo, detras de él no hay nada más que existencia y más pedazos de ella.....

[east37thstreet]

yes 1930 there's also a vocal version with a sightly slower tempo, but still build up at the end light this one

[27181917]

This the 1930 Louis Armstrong version

Probably more memorable than the book!!!

[TheMorMor]

Im aparently not the only one trying to find the song that Antoine lisstend to.

[downinthepampa]

conoci este tema por el libro de sarte. me lo imaginaba cantado por una negra creo q lo dice. pero este queda muy bien, muy linda idea tuviste

[worotan]

Sophie Tucker did it originally, but she's Jewish, and a black vaudeville pianist wrote it. Sartre got it mixed up in his memory - but don't we all make our own version of reality from our memories and impressions...

This is a song with a history...

[SorchaBanshee]

Maybe it was made on purpose.

Remember, Bouville doesn't exist, it's a mix between Laon and Havre (at least in my book (a portuguese translation) there's a note explaining this.

Maybe he intended to exchange "jewish" with "black"... I don't know, I was looking for the version he might be referring to and this idea came up to me, lol :]

[east37thstreet]

one of louis armstrong's best songs

[dogredrum66]

i fucking love it!!!

[Mnacuspia004]

Hahahahah!! great...! I think this is the nearest version of nausea´s "some of these days", but im sure this isnt.. Roquentin talks about the black woman voice..

[uraniacaelestis]

you are right, but i like this instrumental version more. :)

[Maarttttt]

@uraniacaelestis Do you know who sang the version is Sartre meant?

[WumpaLumpa]

I'm just reading the book...and thought of looking up the song that Antoine is listening to

Nicely done
