Beautiful lyric. I met a man in Berkeley who was playing trumpet on the street. He used to play in Sun Ra's arkestra. He said something that I won't forget: he said that when we're truly "past race" in this country, we'll realize there are more colors, not fewer!
- hprotagonist 10y agowell, the rest of the lyric is " no more water; the fire next time". it's more prophetic than beautiful.
- macawfish 10y agoVery deep song. It's got me seeing through ways my religion distorted myth, even as it acted as one of my most conscious sources of it. "I baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he'll baptize you with breath and fire." (John the Baptist) So, did you hear about the scientists telling of methane coming out of the ground? They're saying it's gonna get warm around here.
