Just Fine On My Own

Copyright Erin Wolf 2025

i am here on my own
in the house that i'll never own
and people think i'm lonely
but they are wrong

i used to be afraid
what i would say
didn't want to be on my own
i was afraid my shadowside

now we've united 
and we're delighted to meet one another
i have learned how to be content
with me

why's everyone so scared
i'm still here 
not going anywhere
not going anywhere

it's like they all need me
to check the boxes that they're pleading
i'm alright
i'm alright
i promise i'm fine
for real

and i've taken time to
get to know myself
this is just reprieve from the world that is
burning to hell

i'll take this moment
don'tcha wait for just a minute
'cuz i know this is a game if i win
i'll win either way just the same

so i will enjoy
just for a moment 
sitting here 
sitting here
oh, sitting here

The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)

"Is that from Gangly Orphan Jeff, the ill-fated musical that opened six days after Annie?"

...

Oh, the sun will rise in the morning, or so I’m told, but who knows?/ You could win a million bucks in the morning and then get rolled by a mob of stinkin’ hobos/ Good news, you can’t lose when you tell Mr. Blues that you choose to keep going/ We’ll never stop, we’ll keep on moving forward, even if we don’t know what we’re moving toward/ They say life’s too short, but they’re wrong — it’s so long/ Sometimes the only way to go is to just go on.

Keep a smile in your pocket when the wolf is rat-a-tattin’ at the door, just lock it tight/ Keep a dream in your heart and you’ll never ever want for more, unless you’re in a knife fight/ Chin high, spit in the eye of the folks who can’t stop laughing at the stupid things you’ve done/  Don’t ever stop, even though your heart is breaking, don’t look over your shoulder at the love you left behind/ They say life’s too short, but they’re wrong — it’s so long/ Sometimes the only way to go is to just go on.

Suspicion

In 1976, Carrie made a star of Sissy Spacek, a bankable first-tier director of Brian DePalma, and a household name of horror writer Stephen King (on whose first novel the film was based). Newcomers John Travolta, Amy Irving, and Nancy Allen didn't do so bad for themselves either.

But like the solid efforts of many film composers, Pino Donaggio's work went largely unheralded at the time, though DePalma would reward him with no less than five more scoring assignments in the years to come. Ironically, Donaggio was the director's second choice; the first, Bernard Herrmann, died just hours after the final recording session for Scorsese's Taxi Driver in December, 1975.

For the Carrie, score, Donaggio descends from the breezy string and flute arrangements that introduce the innocence of the title character into a darkening orchestral maelstrom as the troubled telekinetic Carrie suffers increasingly harsh indignities at the hands of her schoolmates and madly fundamentalist mother. Like his peers Morricone and Rota, Donaggio often understates the most dramatic scenes of his projects; the famed school prom hell storm scene is accompanied merely by rumbling sustained chords from the strings beneath subtly disquieting electronic effects. Ryko's interspersing of dialogue clips is especially effective here, particularly the chilling rantings of Piper Laurie as Carrie's mother.
