Einsturzende Neubauten brought me here

I love Lee's old Western accent when he says "I am a stranger in your land..." and Nancy's feminine voice.

@z1rakz1gal Blixa never did heroin, nobody in neubauten did. but the sad thing is, if you want to see blixa and nick perform together now, you'll need a tardis...

[z1rakz1gal]

@licor007 you might be right there..and i knew wat you meant re; EN. thanks for the info.

[licor007]

@z1rakz1gal somewhere in an interview with Blixa I read, that they never took heroin (I mean members of Neubauten), they were usually either wasted or on MDMA and similar shit, Nick Cave took heroin

[Albacorewing]

@z1rakz1gal The sexual part is when she says that her fire is burning high.

[Albacorewing]

@z1rakz1gal Not necessarily so.

I always thought "Some Velvet Morning" was someone relating a story from the past. It is not as sexual as "Sand."

"Sand" tells the old story of the nomadic man meeting a woman in a settled community. The sexual connotations are very strong, but "land" is what he means at first. He uses the accent of the Old West. He refers to "your fire" which means he came in from outside.

@licor007 Me too! Always loved their minimal take on this. Blixa's vocal is wonderful.

[z1rakz1gal]

@Albacorewing yeah u gotta ask the question..it was the 60's so ya cant say 'get on my dick' or some similar idiocy, but im a stranger in your pants might be more accurate. certainly shines new light on 'some velvet morning when im str8- im gonna open up yr gate' i think we both know to which 'gate' he refers.

[z1rakz1gal]

@XXmello42 blixa will have you for that! and anyway the only thing they have together nowadays- is history! sad though it is. (i would have said they have had heroin in common but that far too boring)
