Laurie for a President of the World :)

Lyrics, part 1: There’s a story in an ancient play about birds called The Birds And it’s a short story from before the world began From a time when there was no earth, no land. Only air and birds everywhere. But the thing was there was no place to land. Because there was no land. So they just circled around and around. Because this was before the world began. And the sound was deafening. Songbirds were everywhere. Billions and billions and billions of birds. ...

its so magical that this song is here

because my memory came back too after to much risperdal and palmitate peridone

a true awakening after a psychosis

I can live without AmEx, but not without Laurie Anderson.

Bless you, Laurie. I'm forty-two, have been listening to you watch the end of the world since 1982, and believe it or not you can still scare the crap out of me.

This is brilliant.

hipnotic! unbelieveble! I'm overwhelmed!

[Thunderstormwitch]

And it's great to have memories but one can see that they can also be a bothersome burden especially if you're flying around constantly, always moving about and on the go. Who really has time for memories?

Amazing! Love the way she thinks, love the way she writes, loves the way she sounds. Fantastic!
