Jackson C. Frank - My Name Is Carnival Lyrics

I still owe for that don't I?
What the FUCK ARE YOU talking about?! STOP talking out of your ASS, Art!
Oh no! I forgot to punch out. (Punches the clock) HA HA HA HA HA HA!

You dont listen me

I listened to this while walking to school. It was dark out and this song made me happy.

Been looking for this song. I love it so freaking much.

I had to look this song up as soon as i heard it.

He has now been heard in the biggest movie (Joker) and show (This is Us) of its time and still no one knows his name.

Marilu?

When did this start playing? I actually don’t remember this being here at ALL. Credits?

When Arthur is walking down the stairs and scribbles out the "smile" on the "don't forget to smile" poster.

Jackson was much like Arthur. A furnace blew up killing 15 students and his then girlfriend, burning 50% of his body at age 11. Then he gained weight due to the burns effecting his lymph nodes. Later, his son died, which worsened his depression, he only made 1 album before placing himself in a mental institution, which he was then diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. In an attempt to find his old music producer, he left to New York, leaving his parents house, were he became a homeless bum, who by chance got shot in the eye with a pellet gun, becoming blind, and eventually dying pneumonia

👍🇫🇮👍

awesome

Perfect duration.

SMILE

I've seen your face in every place that I'll be goin'
I read your words like black hungry birds read every sowin'
Rise and fall, spin and call, and my name is Carnival

Sad music in the night sings a scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear and disappear in the forest
Short and tall throw the ball, and my name is Carnival

Strings of yellow tears drip from black-wired fears in the meadow
And their white halos spin with an anger that is thin and turns to sorrow
King of all, hear me call, hear my name - Carnival

Here there is no law but the arcade's penny claw, hanging empty
The painted laughing smile and the turning of the style do not envy
And the small can steal the ball, to touch the face of Carnival

The fat woman frowns at screaming frightened clowns that move enchanted
And the shadow lie and waits outside your iron gates with one wish granted
Colors fall, throw the ball, play the game of Carnival

Without a thought of size, you come to hypnotize the danger
The world that comes apart has no single heart when life is stranger
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all, in the name of Carnival
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all, in my name of Carnival

Joker's Carnival

That song was in Joker? Where? I discovered it recently, or so I thought.

Emmchen when he gets his stuff at work after hes fired

@Elisa O With lyrics?

one of his songs is in Gallo's The Brown Bunny also...........

*And My name... Carnival🔥*

I would've preferred "Stuck in the Middle" but this is cool too

"You never listen do you?"

That song that plays when u get fired

Not surprised this was on the soundtrack...Jackson C Frank had a horrible, tragic life as well.

@jokermovie "Short and tall.. And my name is Carnival..." #JOKER2 #gaggy

I love the soundtracks they added in this movie. I already seen the joker 7 times 🤡😁

Author: I heard this song on the radio the other day it was about a guy singing how name was carnival
Lady: Author
Author: and that’s funny because that’s my clown name work.
Lady:author we have some bad news

Ethan Top his name is Arthur

You don't listen do you?

@Sam Briddon lol... you're like whaaaat? 😄

I thought this was the song he was talking about when I saw the movie! Shit! Jackson was what I jammed on the street as a hobo with a guitar. It's beautiful to hear this become part of a soundtrack

sometimes... its just too late when we finally notice! rest in peace Frank!

NO FUCKING WAY


HOLY SHIT

knock knock

In what scene did this play again?

I think when he was at work

Broke with my girl after a week of watching the movie
Lmao love the movie

"I forgot to punch out"

" its funny, because... that was my clown name... "

Jackson C Frank was a legend. RIP, friend I never knew.

This song is 4 minutes 20 seconds long. Epic gamer moment if you ask me

La película Joker es perfecta, música, soundtrack .

I'm gonna tell Starbucks everytime I order a drink my name is carnival

listen this at 0.75 speed.

I still owe for that don’t I

Like many of you, I discover this song thanks to the joker but I woold like to listen more of this type of this song, if someone had some titles it will be nice. this song also reminds me Bob Dylan sometimes ( excuse my english I'm french )

RobinPax wood is spelled would in a sentence like this one

@Aidan Loughlin my bad ^^

RobinPax it’s okay I’m just saying for the future

@Aidan Loughlin you did well

Put on a happy face

"oh no, i forgot to punch out. Hahaha"

Don’t Smile !

This song is so haunting and very fitting for the movie.

The fat woman frowns
At screaming frightened clowns
That move enchanted
And a shadow lie and waits
Outside your iron gates
With one wish granted
Colors fall
Throw the ball
Play the game
Of carnival
Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize
The danger
The world that comes apart
Has no single heart
When life is stranger
Wheel and call
Clawed dreams all
In the name
Of carnival

Anyone who came here from the movie, I highly suggest listening to the entirety of the album. Jackson Frank is a treasure.

He's a great musician. I been listening to him and Nick Drake for year's. I was surprised this song was in the film.

@Legion Gotta love rural folk hehe. Here's some newish suggestion you might fw: Mike Kozelek and Jason Molina.

This song is the sleeper on this soundtrack. Watch it get more recognition over the years.

I love this song...So sad but real 🖤😢

JCF was someone who fucked up by life and society, he was forgotten, he was invisible, and people noticed him only after his death through his only album, it makes sense that his song is included in this movie, JCF is the Joker tragedy in the real life

Mehdi Bouftima I crye after the movie because I feld the pain . On a other way but still by me I understanding I also so lonely and see Things I know 😭

what is the name of the music from 03:45-05:19 ?

Don't -forget to- smile

i still owe you for that gun don't i

The name if his clown name ♥️

My name is carnival by Youn Sun Nah is such a good cover.

put on a smile in ur face

I just looked up Jackson C Frank, and holy Hell, he might as well be a reflection of Arthur Fleck. His entire life was pretty much one bad day after another, starting with the fire that burned his school and his then girlfriend, then having mental issues, and becoming homeless in New York. No wonder they used this song, Jackson and Fleck are two sides of the same coin. The biggest hint was Arthur's clown name at the beginning of the movie was Carnival as well.

His music was also in This is Us, and people still haven't caught on!

Either, Jackson C. Frank wrote this song for Jocker almost 50 years ahead of time, or this movie is a well deserved tribute to the geniuos of Jackson C. Frank

Arthur’s true theme song

Now I have an urge to dance down the stairs, score out “cry just”, and kick a door wide open like a boss.

king of all hear me call.....GREAT SONG

Oh noo please don't make this popular and ruin it

Don't be a hipster. I was so glad to hear this song in the movie knowing that it would lead people to JCF.

The best song ever!!!!

somehow would have also fit to Alan Wake (i dont really rate that game high, but the soundtrack)

I used to think I didn't exist

"Another joke Murray"

I was caught by surprise when I heard Jackson C. Frank in the background when I had been listening to him daily for the past few weeks at that point. One of my favorite songs of him, too.

"God has a sense of humor..."

it happens to me too

52 people forgot to punch out.

Life is a misery

どこのシーンで流れてたっけ？

shiawase ni shigoto kara yameta toki

This song was perfect for the movie, along with white room by cream playing when it pans to the cop car scenes. Perfect timing for music that matches the moment

"The world that comes apart has no single heart when life is stranger "

"Hehe Hahahahaa.....You wouldn't get it.."

I don't know why, but I love the fact that Arthur's clown name was Carnival. That's such a sweet name for a clown.

represents the internal chaotic nature of his mind

Walker11 Howso?

ecxstasy a carnival has wild rides, circuses, loud noises, and then also peaceful innocent games. Arthur’s mind was quiet, pure and innocent but also deep inside was the animalistic and brutal nature of Joker

jesus.    and I thought my childhood was bad.

"ENOUGH, WITH THE CLOWN!"

this song is more painful than my divorce

I thought this was a 70s song

Such a fitting soundtrack to this masterpiece

Amazing film & amazing song. Please someone with good editing skills make an Arthur Fleck tribute to this song.

I heard this on the radio at work the other day, I can't stop listening to it now. People are starting to notice.

Myself Arthur fleck

we love you stay safe Arthur 😢

@melolunatic I'm Arthur that's an imposter

How does it feel to have to come here? Does it help?

EPIC😂😂😂😂😂😂

Babies who were rocked in the cradle by their mothers grow into rock n roll. 👊✊
Dont compare yourself with the beast who was tied to the pole by the witch when mommy and daddy were away. Beasts are into death metal. 😎😍

I heard a song on the radio today about a man called carnival, and the funny thing is, that’s my clown name, Carnival

for my whole life i didn't know if i even existed. But i do. And people are starting to notice

I cannot get this song out of my head...

In which scene was this

Derpy Ghost When he was packing his things when he got fired from his job, when he forgot to punch out, and when he scratched out a portion of the ‘don’t forget to smile’ sign.

Don’t smile

this song is really thematically fitting for Joker.

Is it me or all the OST of this movie are just so good? Smile, That's Life, Send In The Clown, there are all so good and all related to Joker one or another.

*How are you forgetting White Room and Spanish Flea?*

Yeah their very good

Yes man they are fitting perfectly i am getting serious thrilled with this songs i remember Arthur and Feel something that makes me start crying

*Yes, that's what happens when you make a movie. You get to choose the music.*

So depressing as well,
That's why this is on my sad music playlist... :<

Oh i forgot to Punch out

Last time I saw Jackson C Frank featured was in Daft Punk’s Electroma, nice to see him featured in another great movie :) dude should get recognised more, he went through a lot :(

Don’t Smile

Love Jackson C. Frank. It makes me smile to know they used this song in the movie. He's woefully underrated and his music deserves more exposure.

Ty God for exposing Jackson C. Frank! RIP ❤

DON'T F̷O̷R̷G̷E̷T̷ T̷O̷ SMILE!

"Oh, I forgot to punch out!"
Punches Time clock 5 times.

I listen to this as my country burns u.u

Don’t smile

I think this song is in the middle point between Lennon and Eddie Vedder.

Whenever i hear "king of all,here me call, here my name - carnival" i think of joker on top of the car after he painted the smile on his face with his arms spread out with the riot around him.Truly a perfect fit for the movie

Consideration like that shows how far ahead this film is compared to the other trash that’s released these days

@Walker11 its sad how soul-less other movies are but because of how ass other films have grown to be it almost makes me appreciate this gem even more

Is this song was use in this moment?

@aramam ben no it wasn't it just reminds me of that.But it is used after he gets fired from his job and he is cleaning out his stuff from the locker room

awesome song and movie

My dad introduced me to the music of Jackson C. Frank and Nick Drake, who was inspired by Jackson. Here is a cover my dad did of “My Name is Carnival” by Jackson. https://youtu.be/ZuuaWraBKYA
