Mos Def + Brooklyn Philharmonic "Coming Together"
Restoration Rocks
Bed Stuy, Brooklyn
10.8.11
Composed by Frederic Rzewski, the text from "Coming Together" comes from a letter written by Sam Melville, who was an inmate at Attica prison convicted as part of the 1969 Manhattan bombings, and one of the leaders of the 1971 Attica riots, where Melville was killed.
Lyric:
I think the combination of age and the greater coming together is responsible for the speed of the passing time. it's six months now and i can tell you truthfully few periods in my life have passed so quickly. i am in excellent physical and emotional health. there are doubtless subtle surprises ahead but i feel secure and ready.
As lovers will contrast their emotions in times of crisis, so am i dealing with my environment. in the indifferent brutality, incessant noise, the experimental chemistry of food, the ravings of lost hysterical men, i can act with clarity and meaning. i am deliberate--sometimes even calculating--seldom employing histrionics except as a test of the reactions of others. i read much, exercise, talk to guards and inmates, feeling for the inevitable direction of my life.
