About Hit so Hard

Hit So Hard is a 2011 American documentary film directed by P. David Ebersole. The film details the life and near death story of Patty Schemel, drummer of the seminal '90s alternative rock band Hole, and charts her early life, music career, and spiral into crack cocaine addiction. The film weaves together Hi8 video footage Schemel recorded while on Hole's 1994-95 world tour with contemporary interviews with her, bandmates Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson, and Melissa Auf der Maur, as well as her family members. The film also features interviews with other female drummers and musicians, including Nina Gordon, Kate Schellenbach, Gina Schock, Debbi Peterson, and Phranc. The film's score is written by Roddy Bottum of Faith No More. It was produced by Todd Hughes and Christina Soletti and was released theatrically in North America in 2012 by Well Go USA via Variance Films. It also screened a series of film festivals, including South by Southwest, the Marché du Film at Cannes, the Seattle Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, The Portland Queer Documentary Film Festival, and Outfest. The title is a reference to a song on Hole's 1998 album Celebrity Skin.

Put me up above the boy 
The one I love I should destroy 
My sweet tooth has burned a hole 
Forget about it all 

He hit so hard 
I saw stars 
He hit so hard 
I saw God 

He's cold give him a candycoat 
He can't swim but he can float 
One by one they all fall down 
I look at him and drown 

He hit so hard 
I saw stars 
He hit so hard 
I saw God 

He's so candy my downfall 
Melts in my mouth  'til he's nothing at all 
This keeps me, I can't sleep 
He rages to be true 

He hit so hard 
I saw stars 
He hit so hard 
I saw God 

Oh, man, he hit so hard 
I saw stars 
He hit so hard 
I saw God
