I'll Kill Her

Yesterday, I found out that Cee-Lo (one of my favorite musical artists, and half of Gnarls Barkley) put out a new mixtape for free. He put it out in the beginning of June and I just found out about it, so I had some catching up to do. I listened to it for three hours straight yesterday on repeat. It’s that good. One song stood out more than the others. It’s a cover of a song named “I’ll Kill Her” that was originally done by a French artist named Soko. Cee-Lo took this song from a one-sided homicidal rant by a possibly crazy young woman, and turned it into a dialogue.

But don’t take my word for it. Listen to the song. Do it.

There’s something about this song, it not only caught my attention, it demanded it. I’ve been trying to figure it out since I first heard it, and I think I found the answer.

Part of me wants a girl like that.

Crazy, right? Part of me wants a girl that is possessive. I mean, granted, this is a bit overly so, but just the idea of someone being like, “You’re mine.” for once is desirable.

The other part of me though finds it completely off-putting. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an incorrigible flirt, and if a girl likes me, I almost feel obligated to pursue it because it doesn’t happen often. However, if it gets to the point where they get overly possessive (Beyond “You’re mine” platitudes getting into extreme physical or emotionally overloading possessiveness) or get upset if I talk to other girls or something, I guess you could say I shut down. I mean that in the sense that I go through the motions with them, but I don’t really feel anything.

I don’t know, should that be added to the long list of reasons I’m damaged?

ANYWAY, that’s only one of the points of this post. The other is, GO DOWNLOAD THE STRAY BULLETS MIXTAPE. It was released free online, so go find it. It’s amazing. 5 out of 5.
