I’m not a morning person. That’s why I keep my Alexa unit close to the bed, so I can shake off the cobwebs by playing Juice Newtown’s Angel of the Morning. It’s a soft, gentle, sweet song that wonderfully belies the gristly hilarious opening teaser for the the original film Deadpool. Each day I imagine the amazing cinematography sweeping around a suspended moment in time: zooming from a man with a cigarette lighter burn mark on his forehead, passing an ironic Green Lantern playing card and Hello Kitty lip balm, to Ryan Reynold’s red-suited crotch (and all sorts of other great Easter eggs). The camera pans through the car and out to the frozen falling car tableau. [pullquote]It’s a scene to relish, and re-watch, and deserves some kind of award for Best Movie Opening Ever.[/pullquote]
As we know, Deadpool is a love story. And all the best love stories begin with a murder. And possibly Juice Newton.
Here’s the brilliant opening scene with the not-to-be ignored title credits…followed with the lyrics for Angel of the Morning, so you too can awaken to the soft notes and violent Deadpool imagery for yourself:

Angel of the Morning
(Sang by Juice Newton – Songwriters: Chip Taylor/Angel of the Morning lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC (1968)
Not if my love can’t bind your heart
And there’s no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I’m old enough to face the dawn
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Then slowly turn away from me
And it won’t matter anyhow
If morning’s echo says we’ve sinned
It was what I wanted now
And if we’re victims of the night
I won’t be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Then slowly turn away
I won’t beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day, of the years
Baby, baby, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, (angel)
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, darling
