This is a short song in a tremendous mix album done by Coldcut in 1995 called 70 minutes of madness. Truly an electronic music masterpiece.
I’m not sure who the speaker is that Coldcut layered over the song but what he says is heartwrenching and fits with my own experience in this world.
Thanks to all the loved ones, friends, family, strangers that have been gods and goddesses in my life – my love goes out to all of you.
I’ll post soon about some that are no longer in this world – I miss you but understand that this is the price we pay to feel what we feel as we pass through all of this.
Here is what he has to say:
I can explain to be a form of people worshipper
I think people should worship people
I really do
I went out looking for god the other day and I…
I couldn’t pin him
So I figured if I couldn’t find him I would look for his stash
His great lake of love
That holds the whole world in gear
And when I finally found it
I had the great pleasure of finding the people
The gardens of it
Dig that…
With my 2×2 is 4
I figured that people who were guarding the stash of love known as god
And when people swing in beauty they become little gods and goddesses
And I know a couple of them myself personally
And I think you do to
I think people should worship people
I what to worship something I can see, get my hands on, my brains on
I don’t know about that Jehovah cat I can’t reach him…
I don’t know
Seem like every time I found myself in a bind
I always…
Nothing mystic came to help me
Some man or woman stepped up there
We’ll help you, we’ll do this, we’ll do that…
