Saving Grace - Everlast

'Saving Grace (theme song)' by Everlast


Here's a track that I quite like at the moment. It is the theme song for 'Saving Grace', a show that just recently finished its first season on TNT in the States. Holly Hunter plays the lead role and it is a powerful drama about a cop in Oklahoma who's family live in the shadow of the terrible Oklahoma bombing and is in desperate need to be saved from her crazy life. It contains an angel called Earl who spits tobacco and eats tacos. He is Grace's 'last chance angel'.

It's gripping stuff. The only hassle with it is that Grace sleeps with almost everyone to try and find true intimacy, but with little success. As the show develops we learn that Grace had been abused by a priest when she was a child and Earl's mission is to bring her to a place of healing.

The series is very dark at times and yet humor abounds in the midst of great gruesomeness. I'd be stunned if Holly Hunter doesn't end up winning awards for this show. It has a great supporting cast.
