For more good music, follow me on spotify:
I have a playlist called “Compact Cassette“ that I update and change weekly (a regularly modified rotation, kind of like a radio station)
From the album “An Awesome Wave.“ Footage is from the beautiful 1988 film “Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation.“
Lyrics:
Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war,
They advance as does his chance -- very yellow white flash.
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,
Burst so high finally Capa lands,
Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,
foe, him five yards from his leg, From you Taro.
Do not spray into eyes -- I have sprayed you into my eyes.
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, qui
