Now with that done, back to the project I'm working on

I don't know why but I've always been someone that analyses music. I take it apart layer by layer to hear the story that it's presenting. I've been listening to the Sinners Soundtrack for days and I think out of all of the songs, Smokestack Twins is my favorite.

Without the context of the movie, the song feels like its two people having a conversation. the conversation starts off at 0:00 to 0:26 with Character A, who portrays this carefree, confident, nostalgic whimsy. We don't know what the first character is talking about. it could be about a pleasant memory or the sight of a flower on the side of the road, but they are making light of the situation they are in.

The conversation is briefly interrupted by Character B at 0:27, who is trying to focus on getting to where they have to be and tries to bring Character A's attention back to the task at hand. Unfortunately, Character A brushes off Character B's attempt at getting them to face the grittiness of their situation at 0:32 and continues to make light of it all..

Sadly, it's only for a moment before Character B strongly interjects at 0:41, reminding Character A of the realness of the situation they were in and that there wasn't anytime time for levity and this goes on for a long time until 0:58.

It's at 0:58 where Character A tries to reminiscence about the past. About when things weren't as dire as they were now and for the first time, the harsh and gritty shell that surrounds Character B cracks and you see the person beneath it. Slowly, but surely, Character B starts to reminiscence as well. It's a melancholy moment that reveals that the two haven't been seeing eye to eye for a long time, perhaps they were even separated up until the situation they were in reunited them in this single goal.

But whatever the situation, its a moment where the two reveal that they both long for that time. But then, at 1:27, Character B sharply ends the moment. I could go on and on about this piece but there is so much in it. Grittiness, nostalgia, melancholy, hope and longing. I love this track so much.

The Sun is too bright

Much love 💕 to Neighbahood and a hearty #CheeHoo 🏝️ for creating this #passion ❤️‍🔥 site!

Mixing reality with our #storylines 📖 is just one of those #Lessons ✏️ I learned from those who #PavedTheWay 🛣️ like the High Chief 🪶 and the Soulman! 🔥

It reminds me of when I was living in #Agra 🇹🇯 with only #7Bucks 💵 in my pocket, fighting monkeys 🐒 in the shadow of the #TajMahal, eating scraps of banana peels 🍌 just to survive!

Keeping those #HardTimes 📉 close to my #soul 🪽 is something I always worked into my #character for the members of the #RockUniverse! 🔭

@CharlotteWWE and I will always share a #bond 🪢 because we both grew up in this crazy business of ours! 🤼 She always brings that #fire 🔥 on the mic 🎤 just like her old man after sipping on some @Teremana! 🥃

Charlotte always #KeepsItReal, and her promos are as smooth as my skin after using Dermatologist Tested @PapaTui! 🧴

Her #passion 💓 gives me #chills 🥶 no matter what #face 🤔 she wears, I hope she remembers to never work herself into a shoot! 🔫

Still thinking about Sinners

This movie and this scene has lived in my head for decades and never fails to make me cry
