RandomPlaylist: The woman in question trades refuge for money
Dec 19, 2008 | Filed under RandomPlaylist, music
RandomPlaylist is a showcase for music I’ve just discovered, obscure songs you might not have heard before, or just good songs that I think everyone should listen to.
“When I was born, the world was a far simpler place. It was all just…cops and robbers.”
Suddenly, there’s a loud bang. A heist. The narration continues:
“But it wasn’t for me.”
Then the 60’s, and the history of the drug movement. Then he steps into the frame, our Narrator. Daniel Craig, well before he was James Bond, but looking every bit as cool. He breaks his business down for us — he’s not a gangster, mind you, he’s a businessman, whose commodity just happens to be cocaine. He tells us the simple rules he lives by. A couple of unattractive Britons bump uglies while watching a sex show in Amsterdam. We meet the Narrator’s crew. The ugly Britons are up to something. The Narrator tells us he’s going to retire.
He opens a door. Nine minutes into the movie, the title is finally displayed. The transition from night to day as is slick as the rest of the opening sequence has been. He steps out of the door and into a waiting car. Strains of an echoing guitar can be made out. The car pulls away.
Then, a perfect cut over the snare drum, as the song begins and the opening credits roll.
“She Sells Sanctuary”
It’s also a blast to play on Rock Band.
I wholeheartedly endorse the Amazon mp3 store
