Windego - is a mythical creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquian people. It is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform, or which could possess humans. Windego were embodiments of gluttony, greed, and excess; never satisfied after killing and consuming one person, they were constantly searching for new victims. In some traditions, humans who became overpowered by greed could turn into Windego. "sounds like the gangster government and accomplices."
been listening to this song since first released. it got to me deeply. still makes me weak, makes me cry. this is one of the most powerful poems ever written and it's fitting that buffy would be the one. she deserves a grammy for this one and it's typical that anything of this importance never reaches a large audience because the beasts of the golden bull keep it supressed as usual...
I remember being blown away by her lyrics 19 or 20 years ago when I first heard this song. Sadly, of course, her take on things is even more true today. Where is there real hope? I'm glad I didn't bring children into this world.
Stunning. Lyrics are incredible. Damn the music business for not realizing who the real singers and writers in this world are. The world and its politicians can learn from such an artist. I have thousands of songs in my collection but this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. This, and Keith Barbour's version of "Echo Park," another neglected and wonderful song.
The legend of the Windigo is well known among the Algonquian speaking tribes in America. No "monster" or "evil spirit" evokes so much fear in these people.
The Windego are cannibals. This craving will endanger the rest of the community. It is believed that the only way to kill the windigo and the malevolent spirit is to burn the body of its host into ashes.
The CD is Coincidence and Likely Stories. I got it on eBay years ago, searching for Buffy. I listen to these songs every day, and this particular one is indeed a true masterpiece!
This song is very important for all of us and for the next generations. I share it with my children. It is so true. We must find a new value system to help the planet.
Wow this song is so powerful, if u listen to the lyrics it just goes to show u how intelligent and wise this amazing woman really is. I am so proud to be CREE and to be alive here and now.
yea i have looked for this song and this album of buffys for a long time and i cant find it. would anyone know where i can find the song. to get on an ipod.
wow. this song gets me deeply. didn't know it was on utube. thanks. it's a different version than the one i was accustomed to but still the same song, same effect. amazed i'm the only one who's commented this song is a masterpeace
