Se nel primo episodio della nuova stagione di American Horror Story (Freakshow) la talentuosa Jessica Lange si era cimentata in una cover senza infamia e senza di Life on Mars di David Bowie, nella quarta puntata la talentuosa attrice avrà a che fare con un pezzo di Lana del Rey.
La canzone prescelta da Ryan Murphy per il personaggio di Elsa Mars è l’emozionante Gods and Monsters, tratta dall’Ep Born to Die – Paradise, e ben si adatta all’ambientazione del telefilm, girato in un circo popolato di strani e inquietanti personaggi.
In attesa che la scena venga resa disponibile online, vi pubblichiamo video e testo di Gods and Monsters.
I was an Angel.
Living in the garden of evil,
screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed.
Shining like a fiery beacon,
you got that medicine I need;
fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly.
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly.
Me and God we don’t get along, so now I sing.
No one’s gonna take my soul away,
living like Jim Morrison.
Headed towards a fucked up holiday.
Motel, squeeze, squeeze, and I’m singing;
fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
It’s innocence lost. Innocence lost.
In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel, lookin’ to get fucked hard.
Like a groupie incognito posing as a real singer,
Life imitates art
You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please
I don’t really wanna know what’s good for me
God’s dead, I said ‘baby that’s alright with me’.
No one’s gonna take my soul away,
living like Jim Morrison.
Headed towards a fucked up holiday.
Motel, squeeze, squeeze, and I’m singing;
fuck yeah give it to me, this is heaven, what I truly want
It’s innocence lost. Innocence
