#hang on i gotta go listen to jgls baby its cold outside again

1/? ok so the idea of arthur singing in the canon inception universe has been rotating in my mind like a rotisserie chicken. what if one time their mark is this big head mafioso guy & the only time he isn't surrounded by security is when he visits a swanky club known for its music. so finally the night arrives when they can make their move, the guy is finally visiting the club but things quickly go to shit when they learn the singer has cancelled their appearance for the night. the team knows

2/3 they only have this tiny window of opportunity to get near the guy, if the guy finds out there's no singer he won't visit tonight & they might have to wait weeks before the mark decides to visit again. cue arthur straightening his bowtie and jumping on stage to confer with the band. as the don enters the club arthur is singing the opening notes of frank sinatra's my way of life (please check out this song), the team breathes a sigh of relief when they see the don give a nod of approval and

3/3 sit down. Eames, however, is stuck staring at arthur dumbfounded because!!!!!!1 sorry for the big build up for me just wanting to say i want to see arthur singing those jazzy easy listening classics. him also singing the world we knew by frank sinatra. my brain would melt. and so would eames'.

NONNIE. NONNIE. Okay. *deep breath* So. When I first heard the first few seconds of My Way of Life I felt like putting on a fancy frock and strutting around, looking around my apartment mysteriously like I'm in a Bond movie 😂 - this song is a whole vibe - thank you for asking me to listen to it.

I love this. The lyrics? Gotta have you near all the time, with your dreams wrapped up in mine? *chefs kiss*. Everyone thinks Arthur can't carry a tune. He's the guy who mumbles awkwardly while everyone else is belting out Happy Birthday to someone, or flat out doesn't even pretend to sing. He's awkward. The most 'musically inclined' he's ever demonstrated to be is finger-clicking and toe-tapping to whatever tune is playing at a bar for after-job-drinks, and only when he's had several shots. Arthur isn't classically trained. Maybe all his notes aren't perfect. But he's got a natural talent, and Eames eyes haven't left his all performance. He's us about Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge -- who knew he could do that???

Now I want Arthur and Eames, be it their own kitchen, or the motel room they're sharing, swaying to those classics, one of those I can't believe what we went through to get here moments.

Thank you for sharing this with me nonnie, I really enjoyed diving into this!
