Rock Me Gently

Ryan over at HOLY EMBERS OF DREAMS tagged me although this time it’s a little different than the usual tag…

And it goes a little something like this…

“So here is your assignment for today, dear readers. Find a song that inspires you to write something, whether it gives you an idea for a script or just puts you into a better frame of mind. AND/OR (don’t you love choices) peek into the lyrics and find a stanza that sums up the theme of whatever script you’re working on. It’s quite uncanny how the two circumstances go together.

If possible, post a video of the song to really get people into the mood. (Yep, I’m aware of the irony of using Internet clips during the pissing contest. I like irony as much as bitchiness.)”

As it turns out, I am putting the finishing touches on the shooting script draft of my final draft… One of the elements that I get some input on is music so this being tagged comes at a particularly easy time for me.

I can’t talk about the script except to say that it’s got serial killer in it. I can also say that there’s a mom hunting this guy down because he killed her kids… She’s chasing him across the Southwest and he plays with her. At some point, he becomes fascinated with her to the point of having shall we say, a very huge crush.

He decides that he wants her. Wants her in a very bad way so one night when she retires to a cheap motel room after having one too many, our man enters the motel room while she’s in the shower and just to set it up a little more… She had just been turned down for sex from another main character just ten minutes earlier so she’s feeling pretty sorry for herself right now albeit justified.

As she stumbles herself onto the motel room bed still wet from the shower, our man emerges from the shadows and takes her.

That’s all I can tell you.

Here’s the song that will be playing…

I heard it only two weeks ago while I was eating a hot pastrami sammich at my favorite deli… As soon as I heard it, the scene totally came together for me.

Thanks, Andy.
