I like the 2nd version much better than the first. I have not seen the movie but being a Clint fan, I can't figure out why. Now I've got a reason. Ta figure out what chu' rappin' about bro :!:

I'd like to say that even if CE made those spagetti westerns so that he could make good films, I love those westerns. He was awesome in them. I've got The Good, the Bad and the Ugly soundtrack on vinyl. It is awesome 'specially if you've got a loud stereo and hardwood floors.

Definitely a big one for even trying that sort of song - phew...
I hope you were wearing your cap back to front and wearing some tasteful gold chains?

Rock on in the mix!

It's just one of those weeks]]> Sunday Songwriters Group JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7-wk17-million-dollar-baby/#post-321893 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y7-wk17-million-dollar-baby/#post-321862 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:44:24 +0000
Thankx for the insight.... It makes much more sense now :D
I thought it was a rather odd way to portray Clint's character! lol.

I've been a bit hasty I'm afraid, as I'm away from home right now, without all the usual time I had for analysis :wink:
But I am glad that you told me, so I can better enjoy what you have done 8)

Yes, Clint is an AMAZING artist!
He's been acting/directing/ and doing the scores for his movies for some time now.

He has TONS of clout with his studio, and actually does all those action type/Dirty Harry movies in order to
be able to get movies like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino made.
Those 'Blockbusters' he stars in, make the studio money so that they will back him in losing pictures that he wants to make.
If only Orson Welles had been that keen a businessman! :roll:

Thanks for the thoughtful reflection....and I agree, I did not tackle the depth or the retelling of the story.

Actually, I focused on one aspect.... I was writing it as the singer being Maggie's mind and the singee being Maggie's body....Her mind is telling her body, quite arrogantly, "I'm in control...suck it up and do what I want" until the "crack" ...spinal injury....and then she is remorseful wanting a second chance to be "connected" with her body...her mind can't handle being left on its own....she would choose suicide over living without the use of her body....a bit of Romeo & Juliet :? maybe not....

I read through it again with your interpretation of the characters and I could see that working, but you're right....that would not have covered the depth of the relationship.....I tried to mask the true characters under the assumption it was a relationship where the dominant half was too arrogant until the other half left and the dominant half was left remorseful....

It's all a bit of exploration and fun between this veil of hide and seek with the lyrics....
....And I didn't realize Clint Eastwood did the music for the film, as well as act and direct it!!!!!WOW!!!!!! I think the music he wrote for it does fit perfectly for the depth of the film....but it's not an upbeat number which was the focus of this week's assignment :wink:
