lyrics
Red Tail Guide - by David Elias
Red tail guiding me alone
Red tail guiding me alone
And how will I know
Just when it's safe at home
Red tail guiding me alone
Uptown singers know just how to say the words
Downtown ring it out beneath the river's dirty rain
Small time dealer boys wonder if they're getting off
For one more red tail healer guide
Red wing burden's laid aside
Red wing burden's laid aside
And how will I know
Just when it's safe inside
Red wing burden's laid aside
Cast of thousands
Originals all on their own
Stalk the countryside
Looking for someone they've known
And in the evening time
Roll it up and roll it out for
One more red tail healer guide
Red sky guiding all my dreams
Red sky's guiding all my dream
Burns my memory
Leaves me in between
Red sky's guiding all my dreams
Red tail guiding me alone
Red tail guiding me alone
And how will I know
Just when it's safe at home
Red tail guiding me alone
Red tail guiding me alone
Red tail guiding me alone
And how will I know
Just when it's safe at home
Red tail guiding me alone
Uptown singers know just how to say the words
Downtown ring it out beneath the river's dirty rain
Small time dealer boys wonder if they're getting off
For one more red tail healer guide
Red wing burden's laid aside
Red wing burden's laid aside
And how will I know
Just when it's safe inside
Red wing burden's laid aside
Cast of thousands
Originals all on their own
Stalk the countryside
Looking for someone they've known
And in the evening time
Roll it up and roll it out for
One more red tail healer guide
Red sky guiding all my dreams
Red sky's guiding all my dream
Burns my memory
Leaves me in between
Red sky's guiding all my dreams
Red tail guiding me alone
Red tail guiding me alone
And how will I know
Just when it's safe at home
Red tail guiding me alone

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.
