Song of the Day: Somebody Has To Pay by Susie Van Der Meer


Today’s song of the day comes from the soundtrack of 1998’s Run, Lola, Run.

Whisper my darling
I didn’t have the time to say goodbye to you
Flow into silence
My mouth is full of blood and my mind is too
And my mind is too

And you see me walking miles away
Somebody has to pay
And you see me walking miles away
I’m gonna take your pain with me

Golden reunion
I will always wait for you to be with me
Secrets in heaven
I’ll complete the mission if you want me to

And you see me walking miles away
Somebody has to pay
And you see me walking miles away
I’m gonna take your pain

And you see me walking miles away
Somebody has to pay
Somebody has to pay
Somebody has to pay

Somebody has to pay
Somebody has to pay

Scenes that I Love: The Roulette Scene From Run, Lola, Run (Happy Birthday, Tom Tykwer!)


Today is the birthday of German filmmaker Tom Tykwer.  Tykwer directed one of my favorite films of all time, 1998’s Run, Lola, Run!  As such, it only seems appropriate that today’s scene that I love should come from that film.

In this scene, Lola shows us all how to win at roulette.  Do not try this in Vegas.

Scene That I Love: The Casino Scene From Run, Lola, Run


Today, we wish a happy 59th birthday to director Tom Tykwer.

Today’s scene that I love comes from Tykwer’s 1998 masterpiece, Run, Lola, Run.  Everyone has their own system when it comes to gambling but I don’t think anyone has ever come up with a system as effective as Lola’s.

Music Video of the Day: Believe by Franka Potente (1998, dir by Tom Tywker)


As I mentioned yesterday, I was visiting with some old friends on Saturday morning when we decided to watch the 1998 German film, Run, Lola, Run.  Ever since then, along with trying to run everywhere, I’ve had the soundtrack playing on repeat in my head.

This is the video of Believe, which one of the most important songs in the film.  Along with featuring scenes from the film, it also features the film’s star, Franka Potente, and Herbert Knaup, who played Lola’s disapproving father and who continues to be somewhat truculent in this video.

Enjoy!
