I have a recurrent dream
Everytime I loose my voice
I swallow little glowing lights
My mother and son baked for meAnd during the night
They do a trapeze walk
Until they’re in the sky
Right above my bedWhile I’m asleep
My mother and son pour into me
Warm glowing oil
Into my wide open throatI have a recurrent dream
Everytime I feel a hoarseness
I swallow warm glowing lights
My mother and son baked for me, ohThey make me feel so much better
They make me feel betterWe have a recurrent dream
Everytime we loose our voices
We dream swallow little lights
Our mother and son bakes for usDuring the night
They do a little trapeze walk
Until they’re in the sky
Right above our heads
While we’re asleep
My mother and son pour into us
Pour into us
Warm glowing oil
Into our wide open throatsI have a recurrent dream
They make me feel better
They make me feel better

Another Patti Smith and William Burroughs photo. Taken in 1977. Smith is wearing a neck brace because she fell off stage earlier in the year and fractured a vertebrae in her neck!
William Burroughs, the ‘Godfather of Rock’, with Patti Smith, the ‘Godmother of Punk’. Photographed by Allen Ginsberg. Perfect.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix
From ‘Howl’ by Allen Ginsberg.
I’ve decided I’m going to quote two lines of ‘Howl’ every day. Because, after all, this masterpiece can only be described as a literary orgasm and as such deserves to just keep on coming.
Björk performing Gloomy Sunday at Alexander McQueen’s memorial service. Try to ignore the rustling at the beginning!
Gloomy Sunday covered by Björk. Beautifully haunting gorgeousness. Her performance of this at Alexander McQueen’s funeral was heartbreaking.
