A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall by Bob Dylan
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

<center>WARNING: this post contains some very explicit, uncensored language </center>
Observations on my latest "Just Discovered" artist: Peaches. The ultra-sexual, foul-mouthed Euro "electroclash" 40-something. I don't know why I hadn't heard of her before. Probably because she swears constantly, always in sex-talk mode, and in our culture of censorship- good luck being exposed to artists like Peaches.
I'm bouncing around from album to album (thanks to Napster). Right now I'm on Fatherfucker. It seems to be regarded as her weakest album. I'm not surprised, the beats are way too lowkey for her over-the-top lyrics and style. But as I'm meant to understand it- this is what electronic music is supposed to sound like when it's influenced heavily by punk. I'm immediately reminded of the Daria episode "Depth Takes a Holiday," where Daria was being hounded by a band performing music that would sound a lot like the music on this album (only with more guitar, and of course- a male singer). For this album, there's nothing in the background. It sounds like someone made this at home with an expensive electronic beat machine. Which, of course, would be pretty punk for the time.
Apparently, she rose to (some) fame in 2000 because of a song called "Fuck the Pain Away." Which, cutely enough thanks to a YouTube video, pairing it up with clips of Miss Puggy goin' hogwild from The Muppet Show (especially at 1:55 to the end- amazing what they got away with in the 70's ain't it?), is how in fact I've now come to be exposed to her in the first place. Thanks to her latest album, I Feel Cream, and all the comparisons to Donna Summer, I assumed she was black. But, her previous album covers (and this video for "Set It Off," the video mix being much better than the album version), showed me that she's quite-white. And looks the lovechild of Kelly Osbourne and Tracey Thorn (with hair-up).
But, joking aside, the woman is an incredible artist. As her latest single/video, "I Feel Cream" proves in its' pure sublime heavenliness (this has got to be her finest moment in music). This and her video for "Take You On" suggest that her latest album isn't really aiming for Donna Summer. They have a much more early 80's feel. If nothing else, she's worth paying attention to because her music really shows just how many things electronic music can accomplish. Her tracks express her loves of punk music, hip-hop, rock, pop, soul - pretty much everything - like they were punk, hip-hop, rock, soul tracks rather than just club electro. Which the haters of electronic music often don't see. Why? Just because this isn't live guitars and drums.
When thread was started: Peaches - "I'm the Kinda"
Right this second: Peaches - "Lose You"
