Does anybody know what Chesnutt means by "until the lead started hittin' me" ??? I read that the song was about a divorce, but I feel ignorant for not being able to make a connection. Sorry.
@Kolbgil1 Yeah, sounds like some kind of relationship destruction. "Lead" would mean bullets, metaphorical in this case i'm sure. Salesman and Bernadette is a concept album, with plot and characters, so we shouldn't assume any f this applies to Vic or anyone he knew. His best album, imo. Thanks for the post and the clever video pairing.
A 2005 performance by Orlando Bellydance. The girls were dancing to some other song, but I think it synchs nicely with Chesnutt's great song. First heard this song on a compilation from British music magazine UNCUT: Sounds of the New West. Reminds me of Cash's RING OF FIRE with those great horns. Thanks for watching.
That UNCUT disc just floated to the top again and I can't stop listening to it!
