I remember hearing the V version on underground radio in 1983 and immediately rushing to Newbury Comix's record shop in Boston's Back Bay to buy it. It was haunting then and to listen to the writer's version is even more so now. Zedek's version is available on Amazon.com. A truly great song by a unique and great voice!!!
Awesome! It's nice to see someone as great as Thalia is keeping this excellent almost unknown song by V; alive. I have the original ep and while that version is my canonical version, this is a lovely 2nd!
@acemma25 : Maybe one of the players in V; could post their song or however it's done on youtube, since I think it's long out of print. Not sure of the legality of sharing.
V; were a band from Boston who were around back when Thalia was in Dangerous Birds, very much part of the same scene, gigging at Cantones and all those scuzzy bars near The Garden. They only released one 12" ep, which had "1926" on it. Very abrasive post-punk, but this one song was just gorgeous.
Amazingly beautiful song; long thought lost to the hazy memories of early 80s Boston... glad to see Thalia's keeping it alive. The original V; version is great too.
Nicely done, as always...I wish more people got to hear the original version by "v", though---it was much less [melo?]dramatic, and so carried more feeling for me, the way a whisper can be better at expressing mood than a shout, more emotional dynamic range is possible.
Also...you can go on Soundcloud under New God Box for more V; material, including the 2010 reunion set....

Nice job Ms Zedek. It takes me back to the Middle East enjoying your great performances with a bottle of Xingu and good friends.

It was a 12" record that came out circa 1983... not on-line that I know of ... scour the Boston used record shops ;-)
