Laurie Anderson - Let X = X

[brettrach2]

one day my sweetheart and I will sprout wings and fly to another country:a smaller country

with no cars and even fewer people where I will do nothing all day but breathe buttermilk air

and I promise to leave the trout alone in the nearby stream and my dog will actually catch

the rabbits that run . over the stream there's a bridge

and the name of the place is occipital ridge.

I don't want to be discouraging because I love this song and it's awesome that you've posted it, but why the lyrics? Laurie's voice is so clear you can hear every word, and part of the poetry is listening to the sound of her voice instead of having the distraction of text. Can you redo it without the lyrics? :-)

table for two, under white silk sheets.

cross in front of the camera, touch the silk, one finger through the silk

ahead the balcony, open the heavy curtains to the side, some light comes in.

[winterstellar]

When I was a kid I loved these lyrics SO much! It was my favourite song!: )

[winterstellar]

@winterstellar But it was cut short here? Damn these CDs! I had the Big Science album on a cassette tape back then, hehe. : )

[BasherCoon]

aaahhh, the divine Miss Anderson (Mrs Reed?)

[psychicbyinternet]

@withConor Miss. It's probably Ms. or Mrs.

[psychicbyinternet]

@psychicbyinternet Sorry to nitpick. Stuff like that bothers me.

[RPelectribe]

thick enough to stun...

[eurositi]

One of the lighter tracks from the "Big Science" (or "United States pt. I-IV") album masterpiece... And it's such a catchy tune... "Thanks for showing me your Swiss army knife". Gotta love this one. :D
