lyrics
And I Said
- by David Elias, 9/11/2001
It's the end of summer see the red lights running
Cross the open interstate
And the wind feels good through the summer wood
The evening's getting late
I'm with my little boy he's wearing corduroy
And he's looking up at me
He says why they kill those people there
In New York City
And I Said...
So we lit three candles sitting on the wall
While the stars were coming on
And we said our prayers in the early fall
For those never really gone
One for the bodies of the innocent
Good God let them rest in peace
And one for the minds in the universe
That learn from tragedy
One for the spirit and the souls at large
May we find true unity
In a little boy wearing corduroy
He's looking up at me
And I say...

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
