Harry Styles Wrote the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ ‘Trigger Song’ in Five Minutes

Image
Harry Styles was up “Late Night Talking” with his “Don’t Worry Darling” director Olivia Wilde about the film’s score. It turns out, the script for the psychological thriller only referenced a “trigger song” to haunt Styles’ character Jack and his wife Alice (Florence Pugh) as they navigate a darkly sinister 1950s suburbia. “In prep, Harry called me and said, ‘What’s the trigger song? Like, what’s the melody?’ I said, ‘I don’t know. I’m going to different writers to write it. Do you have anything in mind?'” director Wilde revealed to Variety. “And he said, ‘I’ll think about it.’ Five minutes later, he sent me a demo from his piano, and it was what ended up in the film.” Wilde added, “He called me and said, ‘What about this?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s it.

Unequal pay for women - Women’s Equality Day

Image
  Should more be done by the government to address unequal pay for women? In a time when discrimination and wage disparity are both heavily debated, the question arises of whether the government should be more actively involved in bridging the gender pay gap Rise of the Issue The question of whether government enforcement of equal pay programs reduces economic inequality or just intrudes illegally into private industry and other rights is frequently debated in Congress and among the voters. The gender wage gap initially became a problem during the Second World War, when women rushed to factories and other sectors to replace responsibilities left vacant by males who were called to active duty. Even though they offered the same levels of expertise and output as their male counterparts, women employees were paid much less than men in comparable positions. Since then, several laws have been implemented to eliminate the gender pay gap and other income inequities, but today's average...
