Olivia Rodrigo in interviews about writing "Can't Catch Me Now", from Lucy Gray Baird's perspective:

"It was a wonderful experience to try to write something from the character of Lucy Gray".

Lucy Gray is a character she feels very connected to.

"So while it was very much about Lucy Gray, i think i injected parts of myself into it too. I saw bits of myself in her; i admired her resilience, so i tried to embody all that and put it into the song".

With the song, Lucy Gray became the muse.

Francis Lawrence talking to Olivia about the song: "I remember I sort of talked at her for 45 minutes". “About the movie and about the themes and about the ending, and the mystery at the end, and how I thought the song should feel in terms of being a little haunting, and what it could do for us narratively with lyrics. She took a bunch of notes."

"Can't Catch Me Now" is just as haunting and mesmerizing as Lawrence wished: a crooned epilogue for Lucy Gray's story.

His inspiration: "one of the last scenes was very inspiring to me. It's an overhead shot of a bunch of birds in the trees, and something very important just happened, that was playing in a loop in my head over and over, and I was like, i want to write a song that captures what that feeling is".

(Producer) Dan Nigro and Olivia wrote the Hunger Games theme song in a beautiful studio overlooking the ocean, something they actually rarely do. "But I like to think that any of the interesting qualities of that song come from where it was written."

In the scene that was inspired when she wrote the lyrics: "There's Blood on the Side of the Mountain": —"There's a scene in the movie where it's kind of a breaking point for Lucy's character and something changes dramatically. There's a touch headshot of all these trees and birds coming in and out. It was my favorite part of the movie because it shows her resilience and her fight against her defense. I love that feeling, so when I wrote the song I had that image in my head the whole time and I tried to capture it".

"I really wanted the song to be super dynamic, especially when it's for a movie like The Hunger Games, there's a lot of space for some drama. So I think the vocals added this lush soundscape that swells, pulls back and gives it these dynamics I was really into. Watching the movie, there's a lot of Appalachian folk songs that Lucy sings and I was really inspired by those songs; I think they're really incredible. So I think the second I watched it, I knew I wanted to make a song in that vein".

She started the writing process for “Can’t Catch Me Now” from scratch after watching the movie and collecting her thoughts.

She listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel, Carole King and Joni Mitchell while writing her album Guts and The Hunger Games Song.

"Especially with the Hunger Games song, it was very insular in the way I wrote it. Though I guess I went back and edited it a bunch; it was one of those songs where I worked on it, set it down for like a month, picked it back up. We definitely refined it for a while".

Lips of Sixteen Hollywood Actresses

September 1st, 1935 - “Lips reveal character!” says Warner Bros. lip reader.

Have lips the ability to reveal character? They have, according to Perc Westmore, makeup director for Warner Bros. studio for many years. "Next to an actress's eyes, the lips are the most important feature," he says. It's no mystic power, only a matter of observation, he claims in analyzing the charcters of sixteen Warner actresses, whose lips are shown in the above photo.

Been looping “Can’t Catch Me Now” all weekend.

I just love Lucy Gray so much. Coryo is fascinating, and it was a delight to watch his (and Tigris and Sejanus’s) backstory come alive after I had such a strong hunch about it, reading/watching Hunger Games as a kid.

But back then, I was still deeply closeted, living with family across the South, intensely a tomboy. I loved Katniss—her masculine presentation and emoting, her Autism, her being a big sister first and always, her family trauma, her complete lack of a Southern accent, all still amidst constant oppression. She didn’t fit, didn’t understand, and usually felt intensely uncomfortable with the roles the world tried to force her into—the same as I did. But she beat the system anyway, seemingly by sheer force of will—and she got her love story, broken and unintentional as it was. I needed her.

I don’t know that I was ready for Lucy Gray back then. Someone powerful, feminine, utterly unafraid of her own voice. A girl who sounds like she’s from Appalachia and embraces it for all its gritty beauty, repurposing it in the spirit of rebellion. Katniss’s equal and every ounce as scrappy and brave as she was, but a person who found that strength in her art and her words—wearing a dress made out of rainbows. And while Katniss led with love, too, Lucy Gray wears it so much on her sleeve. She doesn’t regret it, I don’t think—not even in the end. And she escapes oppression by trusting and staying true to herself.

I think I would’ve been too afraid of Lucy Gray to love her as a kid. Katniss was who I needed then—her lesson that people like me can make it. But as I prepare to face this big next chapter of my life, I’m grateful for her. Grateful I’ve grown and healed enough to embrace a woman like her. To find strength in a girl who changes the world with her songs, her heart, and the voice of the mountains.

Finally saw “Wonka” this week (wanted to bring the nephew and neice patrol to see it closer to Christmas but there was some question about whether there would be too-scary parts for the sensitive ones but now having seen it, I think there was nothing that would be particularly scary for even very young children (old enough to sit through a movie, five or six), maybe some close-ups of sneering adults. However; no frightening imagery/characters or sequences.

My main takeaways:

Tenderness and optimism needed to make a comeback in family friendly fare, after the past few years of post COVID upheaval and the lingering bleak vibe that’s been shading culture, since. “Wonka” hits a sincere mark with its sweetness that feels like a cultural catharsis for weary families.

It’s also a gentle education for kids about organized corruption and how it works; what cartels are, how they develop, how people talk themselves into engaging in corruption or “selling out” based on interests and human weaknesses and snobbery. The villains in “Wonka” aren’t just caricatures, even at their most comedically buffoonish; the audience is shown how these figures developed their senses of entitlement and the excuses they make to themselves about why it’s okay to participate in corruption and abuse people (i.e., “it’s legal”, “you signed a contract”, “I have an addiction”, “if we don’t maintain absolute control our companies will collapse”, etc.)

Chalamet’s tone was just perfect for the origin story of this character. I haven’t seen such a convincing presentation of a childlike creative, since Ed Norton’s disarming portrayal of Sheldon Mopes in “Death to Smoochy.” It’s a hard line to walk, to play a character who is eccentric yet sweet, who connects with sincerely pure intentions to the dreams of children, without coming across as (even if only slightly) creepy. Chalamet convincingly comes across as a true friend to “Noodle” (a touchingly weary performance by Caleh Francie Lane) with a guardian instinct who is unwaveringly trustworthy. Wilder’s Wonka has long been known for his gently cynical, slightly demented sense of humor but by the end of the 1971 version, you see Wonka’s quietly bitter, sardonic facade crack and reveal the gooey center often found in those who build a hard exterior shell to deflect the pummeling cruelties of the world. When it’s revealed that all Wonka wanted was a child pure of heart to inherit his factory, “Wonka”(2023) shows us where that came from; his childhood heart had lead him to his dream (supported by the pure and unconditional love he remembered from his Mother). He’d nearly lost faith that such goodness could still exist in a cynical, shallow and materialistic modern world until he saw the sincerity and goodness in Charlie and it brought him back from his doubt. That is the Wonka we see in this film: The Wonka who believes. Overall, visually it was whimsical without being too strictly stylistic. There was an organic feel to costume design and spaces but subtly so. It didn’t feel cartoonishly dark, grimy or graphic as often seems the tendency in these “magical realism” type adaptations and/or productions. The fabrics look just natural enough, the visuals are bright without looking psychedelic or vintage carnivalesque. It just dips a toe into that for the dance sequences, (*Spoilers*!) chocolate shop reveal and zoo visit. There were many strong performances in it with a range of different comedic styles interweaving quite well but this was just my initial hot take on the film. I was most struck by how tender it was, credit Chalamet’s portrayal for setting that refreshing tone. This is indeed the Wonka we need right now and it will even make you like Wilder’s portrayal a little better when you see a continuity of principles and life’s purpose for the character.

In season 8 episode 10 of Adventure Time, Marceline the Vampire Queen (voiced by Olivia Olson) performed a cover of Francis Forever by Mitski, in a singing competition hosted by Princess Bubblegum (unabridged here).

In an interview with KEXP in 2017 (around 10 min mark), Mitski went on to say that one of the producers of the show "emailed me and they were like 'Hey, can I use the song?' ... It wasn't through any licensing channels, it was just someone from the show emailed me." People also mistook Francis Forever for "that song Marceline wrote".

Olivia Olson also posted a cover of the song in 2018, without the drums from the original track, Clay Priskorn on bass guitar.
