and I promise you // I will treat you well // my sweet angel // so help me Jesus

So I have this imaginary movie in my head. I can remember the exact day that I made the soundtrack to this untitled project, it was the day I got Grand Prix #2 (R.I.P.) I burned a cd of a batch of almost random songs and wrote "a film" upon it and popped the mug in and drove to Isaacs' house. It was the strangest brew of songs you'd ever hear, probably normal for me, but it started with a Beastie Boys song and ended with The Byrds, and plenty of madcap imagination in between. It comes up here and there, like today when I heard a song that I thought would be great at the end. Like what I see/hear is 3 main characters, two guys and a girl and also a guy in a bear costume that sort of follows with the different themes all over the place (ie he's the dj during the 'Super Disco Breakin' intro through the airport, bartender in the bar while 'Kiss Him Goodbye', I think I was obsessed with knowing how to say the bear in spanish, it's el oso btw ha) and it would start with the one guy who just flew into his old home town and he's sort of down so he hits the bar, he's got a (the) girl on his mind, but you don't find out much about her yet, he drains his glass and cruises the town and pulls into the gas station, where there is a huge choreographed dance sequence to 'Wild Wild West' waiting (not the Will Smith one, that pure early 90's version). He meets his friends ('Rascal King'), spends the whole day thinking/sitting on a park bench ('Danka Schoen' from Ferris Bueller sdtk), 'Scatman' 's his way through a trendy club still thinking about her, rides the cold and lonely subway home to The Kinks 'Lola', dreams of her to Beck 'Deadweight', takes his friend's car and flies down the road with 'Come and Get It' Badfinger to get her back, you get the (my) trailer (the main guy staring at the girl with the guy's arm around her walking past in slow motion, of course) music (Toadies 'Possum King', the last "I will treat you well..." until the end) as he sees her with the 3rd guy, he goes for her, the woman whom completes him and he completes her, wins her heart at the dance and they go 'Tambourine Man' into the sunset. I just thought of a great title for it, 'I'm Insane'.
