"I know sometimes the world is wrong"



Two songs from the John Giorno Poetry Systems 1989 compilation Like A Girl, I Want You To Keep Coming.

Deborah Harry - Invocation to Papa Legba
A very unusual direction for Debbie, and perhaps the strangest thing she ever recorded. This is a voodoo chant sung in - what I assume is - Creole? Kind of amazing - I especially like the change in meter half way thru.

David Byrne - Song For The Trees
An solo song from around the time that Talking Heads were wrapping things up. Again, a strange recording, but what a pretty melody! And I love the night time insects buzzing about.
