Belladonna Of Sadness (album)

**Belladonna of Sadness** (originally titled **Strange Portrait**) is the debut studio album by American singer Alexandra Savior, released on April 7, 2017 by Columbia Records.

## Background and recording

The recording process for *Belladonna of Sadness* was captured by film director Ben Chappell in the video "Alexandra Savior – An Introduction", which featured on Savior's YouTube channel. In June 2016, Savior stated in an interview that the studio setup for the album mostly consisted of collaborators Alex Turner and James Ford, with the three occasionally augmented by bassist Zachary Dawes.

## Reception

Template:Album ratings

*Belladonna of Sadness* was released to mostly positive reviews. *Paste* praised Savior's singing, comparing her style to Françoise Hardy and Lana del Rey.

In a mixed review, Pitchfork praised the "eerie, campy" quality of songs like "Bones" and "Mystery Girl," but criticized the album as too closely resembling her collaborators' body of work, deeming it "an Alex Turner album passed off as Savior’s simply because she sang it."

## Track listing

All songs are written and composed by Alexandra Savior and Alex Turner, except where noted.

Howl

[Verse 1]

It's a little dangerous

When you come treading by me

Hide and seek delirium

Where do you think you'll find me?

Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I

Am falling from behind

Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I

Can't get you off my mind

[Chorus]

Howl

[Verse 2]

It's a little peculiar

Cold sweats off dripping down my bed

Transatlantic barrier

Trust falling right into my death

Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I

Am falling from behind

Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I

Can't get you off my mind

[Chorus]

Howl

Can't get you off my mind

Howl

[Bridge]

Handsome dictator of my crimes

I can't tell if they're yours, I can't tell if they're mine

Sweet revelation bitter wine

I'm dreaming but mostly I'm feeling behind

[Refrain]

Hold a little tighter, boy, 'cause I

Am falling from behind

Walk a little lighter, boy, 'cause I

Can't get you off my mind

[Chorus]

## Lyrics

**[Cameron Avery]**

And I don’t wanna believe it

So don’t, don’t let me see it

When you’re with him

And I won’t bring her

Let’s not make it worse

Let’s give ourselves some time…

**[Alexandra Savior]**

…To start again…

And I don’t know what your papa taught you

But, honey, don’t, don’t you be cruel

Don’t let me see you with her

And I won’t bring him

Don’t make this a thing

Let’s give ourselves some time…

**[Cameron Avery]**

…To start again…

Our mistakes and choices we make

Or chances we take

Without thinking it through

**[Alexandra Savior]**

It wasn’t me, neither you

No, this ain’t a thing

I’m just tryin’ to begin, again

**[Cameron Avery]**

But don’t come here with him

**[Alexandra Savior]**

And I could have played it better

I kind of wish that I never met her

**[Cameron Avery]**

But don’t hold hands with him

**[Alexandra Savior]**

And you don’t with…

[Cameron Avery, Alexandra Savior]

…her, let’s not make it worse

Let’s give ourselves some time

To start again…

**[Cameron Avery]**

And I know that it’s only dancing

But don’t let me see you romancing

‘Cause I’m only human

I can’t play it cool when

**[Cameron Avery, Alexandra Savior]**

I know there’s something still there

I know you still care

**[Alexandra Savior]**

I know she can’t hold you like I can

**[Cameron Avery]**

Honey, I’m your man, you know that I am

**[Cameron Avery, Alexandra Savior]**

You just gotta take me back for good

If only you would

**[Alexandra Savior]**

But I’m here with him

**[Cameron Avery]**

And I am with her

**[Cameron Avery, Alexandra Savior]**

We’re just making it worse

We’re just making it worse

We’re just making it worse

Let’s give ourselves some time…

Risk (song)

"**Risk**" is a song by Alexandra Savior featured on the soundtrack for the HBO TV series True Detective. The demo was released as a single on July 19, 2015.

## Background

This track was co-written with Alex Turner and produced by Turner and T. Bone Burnett.
It was the first song by Alexandra to be released after signing to Columbia Records in 2013. She was originally credited as Alexandra Semitone.

T. Bone Burnett, who produces much of the music on the TV show, recalled: "They (Savior and Turner) came over one day with this song they've been working on, and it sounded exactly like this season of *True Detective*. So I said let's finish it up, and they brought over the multi-tracks, so we mixed it over here at Electromagnetic. And it's a killing tune."

## Live Performances

Savior publicly performed the song live for the very first time on April 11, 2016 at Bardot in Los Angeles, CA, USA on tour as a supporting act for The Last Shadow Puppets, and the song continued to be included in the setlist in 2016 and 2017 for the Belladonna Of Sadness tour.

## Lyrics

There's a color running through your blood

Such a hasty shade of blonde

You're that awful sort of dangerous

Kind that keeps me hanging on

Darkness does appear when

I can see the secrets hangin' 'round your neck

When we're shirtless, assessing the risk

Prick your finger on a kiss

Tell no one about it

They don't need to know

I'd chalk a line around it

If I could let you go

Keep me quiet, honey

And I promise to

Tell no one about you

Trap the passion, baby, lock the trunk

Catch the keys and hit the road

Went to sleep hungover, woke up drunk

Baby shake that aspirin snowglobe

Darkness does appear when

I'll present you with a temporary fix

My accomplice, this bottomless pit

It's 'bout as deep as it could get

Tell no one about it

They don't need to know

I'd chalk a line around it

If I could let you go

Keep me quiet, honey

And I promise to

Tell no one about you

The reflection

In the cold

You're on the run

Things got me wonderin'

How the sun came up before

Tell no one about it

They don't need to know

I'd chalk a line around it

If I could let you go

Keep me quiet, honey

And I promise to

Tell no one about you

But You

[Verse 1]

The wilted edge of a lonesome mattress

I lay my head there until the feeling passes

It's sinking in just as time relapses

I hope that you can feel it

'Cause nobody else can heal it but you

[Chorus]

Baby, but you

Baby, but you

Baby, but you

[Verse 2]

Speak soft, speak sly now, honey

It feels a little empty in the night now, honey

Drift back, drift right down on me

I know that you can feel it

'Cause nobody else can heal it but you

Baby, but you

## Summary

Uramichi Omota makes a note to himself to buy soap at the drugstore after work.

At work, Eddy Edei hands out scripts and costume designs for the day. Utano Tadano and Tobikichi Usahara laugh at the costumes for Iketeru Daga and Uramichi. Uramichi forces himself to accept it, as it's how he makes a living.

During the segment, Utano, Kumao, and Usao introduce the germ-fighting role of Jermbuster, played by Iketeru. They are interrupted by Blight Mite, who is played by Uramichi. Kumao wheels in a cart of balls for Jermbuster to throw at Blight Mite, to show how soap can fight germs. Jermbuster invites the children to join him in throwing balls, and Usao tells them to throw as hard as they can. Kumao observes that Uramichi makes sure the children are able to hit Blight Mite. However, the segment does not go completely according to script, as Iketeru and Uramichi mix up the names of their roles, and Iketeru's aim prevents Uramichi from finishing his lines.

Afterward, Iketeru visits Uramichi's dressing room to apologize for all the bruises, referring to Uramichi as a "polka-dot *oniisan*." He explains that he tends to get too deep into his roles, while Uramichi hopes that the segment is poorly received.

Uramichi overhears Usahara mocking Uramichi's fitness and complaining about his own unfunniness. Uramichi confronts Usahara and tells him that "polka-dot *oniisan*" is not funny. Usahara wonders how Uramichi knew he was the one who came up with it.

On his way home, Uramichi wonders what could be a better way to teach children to wash their hands, and it reminds him to go to the drugstore.

## Uramichi Oniisan

***Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan*** (うらみちお兄さん, *Uramichi oniisan*) is an anime series based on Gaku Kuze's manga of the same name. The adaptation was first announced in a video promoting the fourth manga volume in October 2019. It was originally slated for 2020 but was delayed due to production issues. The anime eventually premiered on July 6, 2021.

## Plot

Freedom, spirit, hopes and dreams… There's a lot that children have that adults don't. 31-year-old Uramichi Omota faces this depressing reality working on the children's show *Together with Maman*, and his similarly miserable colleagues don't make it any easier. Although Uramichi puts on a happy face to lead exercises, his true feelings often slip through the cracks when he teaches the kids important life lessons.

天気予報は　くもり　時々雨

試される　僕の　動物的勘

ああ　ああ　どうして　（どうして）

こんなことなら　いっそ　（いっそ）

仕事　休めば　よかった　（遠い親戚の法事とか言って）

家から出なければ　（それはそれで　ゆううつ）

傘を　持ってないときに限って　雨が降るのは　なんで

逆に　持ってきたときは　降らないよね

降水率　そこそこ　高いのに

使いどきのない傘は　一日じゅう　荷物になって

何をするにも　地味に不自由

不快

Tenki yohō wa kumori tokidoki ame

Tamesareru boku no dōbutsu teki kan

Aa aa dōshite (dōshite)

Konna kotonara isso (isso)

Shigoto yasumeba yokatta (tōi shinseki no hōji toka itte)

Ie kara denakereba (sore wa sorede yūutsu)

Kasa o mottenai toki ni kagitte ame ga furu no wa nande

Gyaku ni mottekita toki wa furanaiyone

Kōsuiritsu sokosoko takainoni

Tsukaidoki no nai kasa wa ichi nichi jū nimotsu ni natte

Nani o suru ni mo jimi ni fujiyū

Fukai

The forecast said cloudy, with a chance of rain

My animal instincts are being tested again

Oh, tell me why (why)

If I’d known, I would have just (just)

Skipped work altogether (saying I had a funeral for my great-aunt or something)

Of course, if I’d stayed home (that would have been depressing in its own way)

How come it only rains when you forget your umbrella?

When you don’t, it doesn’t rain at all

Even though there was a pretty high chance of rainfall

So this pointless umbrella just weighs you down all day

Always a tiny little bit in the way!

What a pain!
Dream on

**Dream on** is the ending theme to the *Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan* (Anime). It is performed by Mamoru Miyano, who plays Iketeru Daga in the show. STY wrote and composed the song.

Dream on, dream on

さあ今 keep on, keep on

頬杖を突いて窓の外を⾒ていた

僕の独り⾔に猫がにゃあと返事した

「そのままでいいんだ」

君のあの懐かしい声みたいだ

時間が作る⼤⼈のセオリー

⽇々に追いつきたくて叩き潰した

Tonight is the night!

僕ら前よりも dream on ⾒ようよ

夢ならきっともう⼀歩⾜⾳鳴らして

踊ろう そう此の⾳の中で匂いがした

新しい⾊もう⼀度

Dream on, dream on, dream on

⼀緒に keep on, keep on, keep on

君とさ dream on, dream on, dream on

届け今 keep on, keep on

さあ時間を超えて⾏け dream on

Dreamin' on

*Dream on, dream on*

Dream on, dream on

Come on, right now Keep on, keep on

Gazing out the window, chin in my hands

I was muttering to myself when the cat meowed in reply

“You’re good enough just the way you are.”

It sounded just like you did back then

Trying to keep up with the passing days

I took the logic of grown-ups that builds up over time and broke it down

Tonight is the night!

Beyond yesterday, let’s Dream on, let’s dream on

If this is a dream, let’s be sure to kick up our heels a little more and dance

That’s right, in the midst of this sound, a scent arose

Once more, a new color

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Together, let’s keep on, keep on, keep on

You and me, let’s dream on, dream on, dream on

Reach this moment, keep on, keep on

Come on, go beyond time and dream on

Dreamin' on

## Summary

Uramichi Omota wakes up and rejoices that he does not have work. Mitsuo Kumatani is fishing with a cat, whom he promises to feed some of his catch before they leave. Iketeru Daga brings his Borzoi Sayuri to the supermarket, where he interprets a fellow patron's phone conversation as a dirty joke and laughs. Utano Tadano supports her boyfriend at his comedy show, even though the sparse audience is not amused. Tobikichi Usahara is on a losing streak at a pachinko parlor when he takes a call from Kumatani, and they decide to visit Uramichi.

Uramichi opens to door to find Usahara, who has brought alcohol and croissant taiyaki. Usahara teases Uramichi for predictably having spent the day working out. They catch the end of the afternoon *Together with Maman* re-run as Kumatani arrives. Usahara trips on Uramichi's dumbbells both walking to the door and walking Kumatani in. On his balcony, Uramichi smokes and smiles.

Finally home at 2 a.m.

Time to put your chores off again

“I have to get up early tomorrow”

That's the excuse you tell yourself

It's not like somebody will scold you

There's no one to scold you anymore

But still

Your place is a mess, and you feel so guilty (guilty)

“When did I wear this?” “Is it still good?”

No more folded clothes in the drawer!

Ugh, fine

This'll do, I'm in a hurry

But then you

Put your arm out through the neck hole

Put both feet in the same pants leg

Your life's such a mess

That you can't even get yourself dressed

La la la, la la la la…

Stretched-out neck holes, black and blue knees

Songs and gloves, both different colors

## Chapter Chronology

**That's What It Means to Be a Grown-Up** (それが大人だから, *Sore ga otonadakara*) is the 4th chapter of the *Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan* manga series. It was adapted in Episode 2 of the anime.

## Characters

* Uramichi Omota
* Kayo Ennoshita
* Mitsuo Kumatani
* Tobikichi Usahara
* Eddy Edei
* Iketeru Daga
* Utano Tadano
* Tekito Derekida

## Summary

Uramichi Omota arrives at work energetic and cheerful, and his colleagues comment on how unusual it is to see him in a good mood. However, he shortly loses all motivation and energy.

Iketeru Daga and Utano Tadano perform the songs "How Come It Only Rains When You Forget Your Umbrella?" and "Those Little Spiders You See Around the House." As Uramichi, Usao, and Kumao stand behind them in costumes, Uramichi reflects on an earlier conversation with the director, who tells him with no certainty that they need Uramichi's presence.

In a later segment, the hosts read fan letters. Utano reads a letter from a girl who wants to marry someone like Uramichi or Iketeru when she grows up. The girl asks Utano which one she would prefer to marry. Utano snaps, warning the girl not to make such decisions based on looks and charm, saying these are worthless in the long run. Uramichi and Iketeru are shocked, and Utano begins crying, so the crew stops filming.

Utano apologizes to Uramichi and Iketeru in Uramichi's dressing room. When Uramichi tells them to go back to their own dressing rooms, Utano asks if he ever finds the loneliness unbearable like she does. While Iketeru daydreams of onigiri, Utano laments that her boyfriend doesn't pick up any of her hints at wanting to get married.
