You Will Miss Me When I Burn

Soulsavers

 

When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you

In the corners there is light
That is good for you
And behind you, I have warned you,
There are awful things

Will you miss me
When I burn, and will you eye me
With a longing
It is longing that I feel
To be missed for, to be real

When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you

Will you miss me
When I burn,
And will you close
The others' eyes, it would be
Such a favor
If you would blind them

There is absence, there is lack
There are wolves here abound
You will miss me
When I turn around

When you have no one,
No one can hurt you
When you have no one,
No one can hurt you

Cat Ballou

Directed by Elliot Silverstein, 1965

Based on a novel by Roy Chanslor

Catherine Ballou’s family farm is being threatened by the Rail Road. She sends for Kid Shelleen, finding him to be the drunkest gunfighter in the west. When her father is killed by the rail road magnate’s gunman, she vows to fight on. Shelleen manages to ride sideways in several scenes, while minstrels sing the ballad of Cat Ballou in between scenes.

 

"I have always enjoyed the tour-de-fore effort of Lee Marvin in this movie. There are a series of scenes that make it an utter delight. When the rear of the stagecoach is opened and the crumpled up gunslinger rolls out on the ground, we know it’s going to be a tough ride. When they get him sobered up enough to show his skill and in a demonstration of shooting, he misses the barn. He and his horse leaning against a building, both of them apparently drunk. Kid’s rendition of Happy Birthday at the funeral of Cat’s father. The ongoing chorus of 'The Ballad of Cat Ballou' with Stubby Kaye and Nat “King” Cole. The scene where Kid Schelleen is bathed and preened in preparation for the big showdown is a classic. It’s so much fun from beginning to end. This is a feel-good movie which never needs to be taken seriously."

Balance

Earl Sweatshirt feat. Knxwledge, 2016

I've been tryna tell a different story
Find balance and I'm tippin' off
And tell grandma I be with her shortly
I won't panic when they send her for me
Cause I ain't got time for feelin' sorry
I gotta be on point when duty call
And I'm prolly the worst nigga to get involved with
These shoulders is not for you to sniffle on

Watch the wall collide with my fist
Mostly over problems that I know I should fix
Focused so I know my skin tone is a cliff
We on the edge and they hopin' we slip
I had to ask moms what I owed in this shit, she said nothin'
She asked about them old times both of us miss, I said nothin'
She asked me if I'm smokin' again
I told her that I prolly gotta go in a bit

I've been tryna tell a different story
Find balance and I'm tippin' off
And tell grandma I be with her shortly
I won't panic when they send her for me
Cause I ain't got time for feelin' sorry
I gotta be on point when duty call
And I'm prolly the worst nigga to get involved with
These shoulders is not for you to sniffle on

She Devil

Directed by Kurt Neumann, 1957

Doctors Scott and Bach inject the dying Kyra Zelas (Mari Blanchard) with a formula which saves her life - but also renders her almost immortal and wickedly evil.

The story is based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Modern scientists accidentally create a monster. They then have to cure the woman of the qualities that pose a threat to civilised society after her demons surface. Since the final operation is not a success, we can assume that the only cure is death.

Naturally, it is a woman who personifies the disturbing Pandora's Box so directly and meaningfully. When men are reborn as monsters, nobody seems to fathom that the root cause is a flood of unrefined energy from the unconscious. Whereas with a woman, huh, its so obvious!

Unconscious+Woman=Monster. Unconscious+Man=What happened? He's no longer conscious and therefore a man. Or he's split like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. At least he's conscious and dignified half of the time. But the rest, forget it, he's just a monster! Whereas she clearly is still a woman. And a permanent menace.

Let Me Down Easy

Bettye Lavette, 1965

 

Let me down easy though your love for me is gone
Let me down so easy, baby, since you feel to stay isn't wrong
But its all over but the last goodbye, let me down easy, hmm

When you pass me by, say hello once in a while
When you pass me by, does it hurt so much to smile
But its all over but the last goodbye, let me down easy, baby

I remember at the start
It was so nice to think that we never had to part
But its all over but the last goodbye, let me down easy, baby

Hum hum hum hum,let me down so easy baby, let me down so easy baby
Let me down down down down, let me down so easy baby,oh oh oh
I dont want anyone of your love, baby, let me down down, let me down so easy
Baby, oh oh, let me down so easy
