Been Down So Long
" Been Down So Long" is a song by the American rock band The Doors.
It appears as the third song on" L.A. Woman", the last studio album that The Doors recorded with lead singer Jim Morrison, who died in July 1971.
It has been called a" take- off" on the album.
Noted as one of the standout tracks on" L.A. Woman" as one of three blues songs, lyrically, the song draws upon themes of depression, liberation, and sexuality.
The title makes reference to the 1928 Furry Lewis song," I Will Turn Your Money Green I been down so long/ It seem like up to me"), and the first verse may have been inspired by Richard Fariña's 1966 novel" Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" which was about Fariña's college experiences and travels.
It is also considered to be Morrison at his most" mock tough".
Musically," Been Down So Long" is a standard, very conventional blues song, with rambunctious aggression, and of the" old Doors, slow blues" style.
It also features a distinct slide guitar, a rough sound, and a stomping beat.
A live version recorded May 8, 1970 at Cobo Arena in Detroit appears on" The Bright Midnight Sampler"( 2000, Bright Midnight).
It has also been covered by Randy Newman and by Gov't Mule with Doors guitarist Robby Krieger.
I Will Turn Your Money Green
I Will Turn Your Money Green( sometimes credited as Turn Your Money Green) is an American blues song first recorded in 1928 by the author, Memphis bluesman Furry Lewis.
It was a standard for Lewis' performances, and has been recorded by bands in the British rock scene of the 1960s and 1970s, and also by serious American blues performers.
Richard Fariña's 1966 novel" Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me" took it s title from a line in the song.
The 1971 song" Been Down So Long" by The Doors in turn borrowed the line from the Fariña book.

The Good Postman
The Good Postman is a 2016 documentary film directed by Tonislav Hristov.
The film offers a tragicomic perspective on the' refugee crisis' of 2015 from a small Bulgarian village located near the Turkish border.
The village has suffered decades of economic and demographic decline.
The handful of remaining residents observe refugee families from Syria and elsewhere as they cross the border, and ponder inviting them to settle in the vacant village houses.
This proposal, advocated by the village postman and main protagonist Ivan, polarizes opinions and brings into focus the local people's own fears, hopes and disappointments.
Although the film uses a semi-fictionalised plot, all characters portray themselves in a narrative which closely follows real events which unfolded in Bulgaria during 2014 and 2015.
The film was largely positively received by international critics.
An exception was a review by Neil Young of The Hollywood Reporter, who found the film to be" conventional in form and intermittently engaging in content."
By contrast, Stefan Dobroiu of CineEuropa called it" an amazing and complex portrait of life, politics and community."
The film premiered in November 2016 at the Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival.
The Good Postman was also the opening film at the April 2017 edition of the One World Human Rights Film Festival, held in Brussels.
