La Llorona ~ Beirut: The Best Music For A Government Sponsored Hit
La Llorona ~ Beirut: The Best Music For A Government Sponsored Hit
Ever away from seeing more than life
The morning lies miles away from the night
No man ever could steal her heart
But With bright gold coins I’ll take my shot
And all it takes to fall
If you don’t walk, might as well crawl
All it takes to fall
What a quiet world after all
Of the things that you guessed will come
What a moment it was after all
La Llorona lyrics by Beirut
I could never understand why my friend always insisted on playing this Beirut tune every time he was given a hit assignment that had to take place up close and personal. Most of his hits were long distance, but he said that the first time he heard this tune he wanted more up close and personal hits... rush I guess? His employer didn't mind as long as the job was done with discretion.. and of course, quick. I know that he is a faithful and devote Catholic and always had a priest near by to go to confession within a few hours. The Priests that knew him never had a problem with the absolution, mainly because my friend was working for the government. I guess it is easier to receive absolution when the letters I, A & C are involved. All of the priests were non-American which I think made it easier for him to get that absolution to remain in a state of Grace. Most of you don't understand the power of being in a state of Grace at all times... seems more gets done & more bad guys fall easily by the wayside, or so he says.
My friend plays this tune at a very loud volume, just as the subject enters the room, the subject being confused by the loud music of course and is mesmerized by my friend as he dances to this tune with his work instruments in hand...my friend then flips a few gold Krugerrands in the air and following the line in the tune, sings out loud to the subject...
With bright gold coins I’ll take my shot.Bang! Of course, I think my friend is being a little mean here in this part of the tune because on every hit he has done, he only wounds the subject with the first shot, so that my friend never fails to be able to sing along with the tune these very words to his subject:
And all it takes to fallMy friend claims that he follows to the letter, this tune when orchestrating a hit. I even think my friend had paid a French bitch to choreograph his dance moves to go along with this song. According to my Friend every hit was done with these lines in mind:
If you don’t walk, might as well crawl
1. Flip a gold coin
2. Take a shot (wounding of the subject of course)
3. Subject falls.
4. Subject unable to walk so he crawls.
My friend singing along with the tune to the subject as the subject is crawling on all fours:
If you don’t walk, might as well crawl
Finishes the hit with these words:
All it takes to fallAt the dying last breath of the subject my friend then makes his exit to go to Saturday afternoon confession...yeah OK I tell him that's cool and everything, and just maybe Hollywood should write a screen play or something, my friend said no, if anything Warning, Hollywood will one day write a screen play on what you are about to accomplish, I'm just a foot soldier with good dance moves that some bitch in France taught me that only the dead see, you on the other hand Warning, will attract Paris Hilton to help re-build the Holy Roman Empire. Now that's Hollywood, I on the other hand have to go to confession for now. I tell my friend, I do too.
What a quiet world after all
Of the things that you guessed will come
What a moment it was after all
that just might be a sacrilege
ReplyDeletewhat? soldiers dont need to go to confession? A priest is not allowed to absolve one who kills? Or is it sacrilege for Paris to help restore the Divinely Ordained Authority of the Holy Roman Emperor? or is it sacrilege to tell a story that involves confession and killing? Do I need to go to confession again? Are you scandalized?
ReplyDeleteI didn't say was, I said might. Ask a priest. If it isn't a sin to kill because your friend works for the CIA, then there's no need to confess it. If a priest absolves one for something that isn't a sin, that's a sin as well, because matter (sin) is needed for the absolution. If it is a sin, and he keeps doing it, knowing he can confess it, or if he takes a special thrill (dance and special song), well ask a priest. I don't know, I'm just wondering.
