I was convinced the Big Little Lies theme was sampling something I've heard somewhere - that background, choral part. The track was produced by Danger Mouse, turns out, which explains the spaghetti westernness, and I know Crazy was based around a sample, but I'm not seeing a source for this one mentioned anywhere. Has Mouse just been doing Morricone type stuff for so long he can now invent what you could swear you've heard before? Crazy was one of those songs that made me assume everything would be good now - some new way of doing things had entered the world and surely everyone else would be jumping on board. Obviously this feeling is never right. Nice to have it, though.

That phrase "the skull beneath the skin"
Reminds us that a skeleton
Not only stands for being done,
But also Death, the doer-in.

It's that that skin is ours that's grim;
From within he comes, the Reaper:
Each of us his own end's keeper.
Skin can't hide that we are him.

Though also not. A skull's a seat
And we're what sits there. We're the skin.
Bone's the soil where begin
Those growths that put the me in meat.

All stems from him, all goes back,
But nonetheless he stays a stranger.
Life-possessed one, you're the change:
A ripple on a fade to black.
