bironic, for Festivids 2013. She called "Strange Days" a "great, underappreciated movie", and I have to agree. It's a bizarre trip through the weirdness of the human mind and soul, full of kinks, greed, love, hate, obsession, devotion...I guess you could call it an id parade. It was directed by Kathryn Bigelow back in 1995, but it's set in the last days of 1999, in a Los Angeles that's boiling over with racial tension and millennial fever. At the center of it all is Lenny Nero, an ex-cop turned black market peddler of illegal tech that records people's experiences to let others play them back like they were living in that moment. His best friend Mace has his back through all his bad choices even as she wants to slap him out of his self-destructive habits.
This movie stuck with me long after I saw it for the first time. When I went digging in my media boxes, certain that I had a copy of it somewhere, I was baffled when it wasn't in the DVDs. I even unearthed a copy of the soundtrack on CD. Then I finally found the movie - in my VHS tapes. Ah, technology.
As is becoming my usual, unwanted process, I dithered and procrastinated with choosing the music until I was well and truly freaking myself out.jetpackmonkey stepped up and offered to beta, which helped me pull through and get this all down. Thank you so much for saving me! Thanks also to all the wonderful people who left lovely comments on the original Dreamwidth and Livejournal Festivids posts!

Lyrics:
Kings and sons of God
Travel on their way from here
Calming restless mobs
Easing all of their, all of their fear
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Statue in the square
Meant so much when it first stood
People come from far and near
To bless them if, bless them if it would
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Sadie, dry your tears
I will be the one
To pull you through the mere
Before you come, before you come undone
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
Strange times are here
