Långt ner i hålet

Jag är en serienörd. Det erkänner jag utan omsvep. Kollar på många serier. Just nu har jag toktittat på The Wire. Så sjukt bra serie, inne på sista säsongen.

Varje säsong har haft samma "theme song" fast i olika versioner. En av dom bästa enligt mig kommer från Säsong 4.



Way down in the hole
(skriven av: Tom Waits)

When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track
if you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole
he's got the fire and the fury
at his command
well you don't have to worry
if you hold on to Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder rolls
just gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole
All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword
and they'll shield you with their wings
and keep you close to the lord
don't pay heed to temptation
for his hands are so cold
you gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole

The name of The Wire's theme song is "Way Down in the Hole." There are actually 4 versions, one for each season.

Season 1 - recorded by The Blind Boys of Alabama
Season 2 - recorded by Tom Waits (he actually wrote the song.)
Season 3 - recorded by The Neville Brothers
Season 4 - arranged by Doreen Vail and recorded by members of a Baltimore Boys Choir.
Season 5 - recorded by Steve Earle (reds anm)
