about this song
The opening track of Actor. Annie Clark revealed to NPR in March 2009 that a lot of Actor was inspired by old films. For “The Strangers” she gathered inspiration from the 1937 Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She expanded: “The passages with the woodwinds and the vibrato voices — I was inspired by the scene where Snow White is singing at the well. I just have such a soft spot for those Disney films. I feel like I felt when I was 5 and I first saw them.”
