THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE MOVIE

R&B singer Shirley Murdoch sang the song for the soundtrack of the movie A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.

Annie Lennox covered it on her Medusa record. The Pretenders covered it in 1984 on my favourite album of theirs, Learning To Crawl. It’s interesting that the song has since been covered extensively, most prominently by women singers. But, on reflection, this song really is about rage, particularly a woman’s rage. Coyote-esque conclusion, as the narrator finds himself bandaged “from foot to head” in the hospital after his girlfriend’s saintlike patience reaches its limit. The Persuaders’ signature hit, which scored number one on the Billboard R&B charts with crossover success on the pop charts in the top twenty, certainly touched on the darker side of love, and on how dysfunctionally men and women can relate to each other in general. Who could predict how the story would end up from here? And, what else does this song reveal?

We have the man who is out on the town at all hours, and his seemingly patient and selfless other half waiting at home for him, even at 5 O’clock in the morning, ready to fix him something to eat, unfazed by his absence up until then. Many more are about the scorned woman, the one waiting at home while their men are out “doin’ the camel walk”.īut, with this song, the emotional landscapes are not quite that easily defined.

Pop music is full of stories of how love can go wrong, and how lovers can become callous, taking each other for granted. Here is a classic tale of neglect, seeming acceptance, pent up anger, and one of the best lyrical payoffs in the history of soul music. It’s their signature single and their biggest hit to date from 1971, “Thin Line Between Love and Hate”. In answer to this, Kartt would say, “Art can be used as a tool to confront reality I like to think I work in this way.Listen to this track by million-selling New York soul vocalists the Persuaders. Kartt’s works have been described as post iconic, therefore Dadaist and Surrealist. In answer to this, Kartt would say, “Art can be used as a tool to confront reality I like to think I work in this way.” It is a very real, bitter/sweet perspective. It is quite shocking to be presented with this data, a bit scary and yet strangely liberating. My personal countdown was calculated using family and personal health records and lifestyle history. “science tells us that the nature of our lives are finite. The subject of death is a recurring theme in Kartt’s vocabulary. This beauty is so often overlooked in so many aspects of our lives.” “The texture, the multitude of colour and sense of warmth that sometimes happens when steel oxidizes and changes from being a strong supportive material. Both the physical one around us and the internal one which is always trying to make some sense of it all.” In his piece, ‘Rust never sleeps,’ the composition and subject matter came about due to loving the quality of the material. Asking questions, so the work becomes an observation of the universe we live in. As an artist my view is that art is about expressing the experience of being human.īeing human, is often shaped, coloured and shaded by the light gleaned from our ever present media.īeing an artist is I believe, about seeing… things in the world around us and seeing things in the mind’s eye. 'I was taught that there is no such thing as art, just artists. However, it was not until the age of eleven that his creativity and love of drawing was tarnished when his art teacher confirmed he ‘was doing it all wrong.’ Kartt has commented that he “didn’t dare do anything really creative again until was in early 20’s.” Kartt attended art school at the age of twenty-five, and it was then that he began to reignite his love of creating and developing art work.
