I'm completely obessessed with Ys. →[More:]It's so beautiful and rich and completely hers -- such a true artistic accomplishment -- I don't have the words. But I am so grateful to her.
I'm linking to an interview with her but it makes me sadder than usual, the modern media music machine, the ecstatic reviews that people have learned to reflexively sneer at as pretentious hype. So I wouldn't dream of trying to sell this record. I just hope if you need it, you take it.
From "Sawdust and Dust":
From the top of the flight
of the white white stairs
through the rest of my life
do you wait for me there?
There's a bell in my ears --
there's the white white roar --
drop a bell down the stairs
hear it fall forevermore
hear it fall forevermore.
The song is
here.
