In The End.

Officially the Best Song (Original or Used in a Motion Picture)  heard by me in a movie, "In The End", sung by Justin Bond and The Hungry March Band, 
is featured in Shortbus,
a powerful film about love and sex that manages to surpass the barrier of its explicit sex scenes to
become a very humane portrait of people and their emotions.

Justin Bond, or sometimes known as Kiki, is an iconic drag performer in New York City. He played himself in Shortbus, although he's better known for his particular character Kiki, an aging, bitter chanteuse.

The Hungry March Band is a street band formed by 25 performers, though its number may vary from five to fifty depending on the occassion. They've been an ensemble since 1997.

The lyrics of "In The End" are very touching for me, for their nostalgic tone, pesimistic story but an overall hopeful message. That's the reason for its title... we may suffer uninterruptedly, but "we all get it in the end".

In The End
Justin Bond and The Hungry March Band


We all bear the scars
Yes, we all feign a laugh
We all sigh in the dark
Get cut off before we start

And as the first act begins
You realise they're all waiting
For a fall, for a flaw, for the end

There's a past stained with tears
Could you talk to quiet my fears
Could you pull me aside
Just to acknowledge that I've tried

And as your last breath begins
Contemptly take it in
Cause we all get it in
The end

And as your last breath begins
You find your demon's your best friend
And we all get it in
The end

And as your last breath begins
You find your demon's your best friend
And we all get it in
The end

Everybody!

Chorus:
We all get it in the end
Yes, we all get it in the end
Everybody!
We all get it in the end
Yes, we all get it in the end

As your last breath begins
You find your demon's your best friend
Cause we all get it in the end

Can't Be Me.

That's not me, can't be me.

Angel, devil... you can trust me, mon ami.


I heard that song for the first time when I was like ten or so. Back then it was just a sticky song, but now is a faithful description of my wicked little person.


My name is Leonardo. Some other times is Sebastian. I was born as Carlos, or Charlie as I prefer being called, but I rarely use that name now. My friends call me Flamingo, due to my fotolog's title. The basics: I'm nineteen, I was born in Concepción but I moved to Santiago to, obviously, attend University. My expectations with this blog are limited to the sole pleasure of writting in english. And I think I ran out of words =). But anyway... I'm a film student so I love cinema (of course), I like writting and annoying people with my honesty.


Thank You. (Y)
