They watched me unravel, while they secretly and joyfully pulled at my seams.

The Thin Line
The line between improbable and obvious is not seldom only a narrow one, and sometimes not even wider than the temple of a pair of glasses. Just imagine a person with a high academic degree, for example a professor or something similar in atomic physics, a gentleman (1), he does not have to be old, only intelligent. Or rather, intellectual. Or even better, educated. I guess this person could certainly tell us something about probabilities, that we would all get downright ear buzzing from his compiled and highly concentrated knowledge, but that's not really the point. In spite of this high brain volume I trusted such a respectable person to misplace certain things like let's say his glasses and not to be able to find them even after hours of searching in his own home, only to notice them in the evening completely surprised on his head during the evening hygiene in front of the mirror, where they had been unnoticed the whole desperate day (2).
Who doesn't know this comparison, or couldn't put himself in such a position? A true classic. Would you like a musical example? I would even have two for one on offer, namely I Walk Alone and Under the Rose. I should mention that for me personally this is part of the answer to the question of why I Walk Alone has that klassik Kiss vibe, and once again a reason can be found in The Elder. If you want to get a little closer to the bottom of this assumption, you can listen to the two intros and the main riffs of the two featured songs at this point and form your own opinion. The riff of Under the Rose is of course a little busier and of a slightly different key, and the intros merely testify to a relationship, but I say I know My Kiss too well by now (3). And to that I must say that there are other parallels of I Walk Alone and The Elder, but that's another story.
Side Notes:
(1) Of course, I would have chosen a lady as an example, but I think you can imagine scatterbrainedness better with a man.
(2) I have no idea why his wife didn't point this out to him earlier. Maybe she was playing a little joke on him. To that end, I have an old friend who would sometimes grab a pizza in on the way before he used to visit me and my lady. At one point we just refrained from pointing out to him that his mouth had been smeared with tomato sauce, all evening long. It seemed somehow appropriate.
(3) There are quite a few The Elder references on Carnival of Souls, though not necessarily obvious ones. I have already dealt with this topic in detail here with some hidden examples within I Confess.
You can hear the intros (1) of both songs and the main riffs (2), if I may call them so. The latter are highlighted. And perhaps you wear glasses without realizing it beforehand. Who knows?

the infamous 'last sighting of a barbary lion in the wild' photo taken by marcelin flandrin (1925) haunts me to my core. there's something so achingly poetic about it.

Screenland Vol. 52, No. 2. December, 1947. Original Caption: Burt and Kirk, another man-in-demand these days, talk over a forthcoming, serious scene for "I Walk Alone." [In the second photo] Burt Lancaster carries his kidding mood to lunch in the Paramount commissary.
