Experimental love song and single-channel film, now minted as NFT (2024)
Duration 06:44 mins
As much as it appears to be an audio track only (at times) it delivers a n BIG reversed Hollywood Ending because tragedies have this certain charisma.
These were the only full takes. I improvised the melodies on the go and had to sing a cappella from the half-way through 'til the end (of the first take) as originally the backing track was half of what was needed... Got this idea to harmonize the verses with quiet chorus backings. Referring to Lana Del Rey's (perfect) "Margaret", Star Wars and Polanski's film, thematics in ”Crow” as well as Marianne Faithfull's "Broken English" album it is a combination of things that hurt as well as a goodbye song. It is about a relationship where both know they have to move on and only one is willing to. I am beginning to understand that I am not the girl to drive through Paris in a convertible (again) because I don’t have a drivers license.
lyrics:
(If she makes you happy)
(Thank you, Kix
For the kicks
And these lyrics)
This is a story about something so broken it was worth it
Margaret didn’t know
Before Lana told her
She just knew something was wrong
On the rooftop like Lucy Jordan
She gave away and escorted herself
To the white car
It took her into church
Of Notre-Dame
To meet face to face in true love
When the song got out
The PR did their job well
The answer was no -
But it hurt like the diamond under pressure
A ring on my finger
A ring in yours
(If she makes you happy)
(Thank you, Kix
For the kicks
And these lyrics)
I am singing solo
Running these hills like Margaret her head spinning
In a fairytale
How can you be sure -
Something that never happened
How can you be sure
It never happened
When the song got out
The PR did their job well
The answer was no -
But it hurt like the diamond under pressure
A ring on my finger
A ring in yours
(If she makes you happy)
(Thank you, Kix
For the lyrics
I need a fucking fix)
Afterglow alone
Like in Strauss’s Salome
I was longing to meet you all the way
in my innocence, in my whites in these little lies
Because Hollywood ending
Found Margaret
And I am waltzing to sacrifice myself in Sunday service
For the bride in my Bitter Moon
Have a sweet honeymoon
