"Your Body Is A Nurturing I Ride Into Night / New Cars And Power-Lines Are Strung Out To L.A."
A song written along I-5 in 1990 and recorded with Kidd Jordan and Morikeba Kouyaté at Rick G. Nelson's Marigny Studio on July 24, 2014 as part of the album 'Women Center Earth, Sea and Sky'.
Stills from video by Aristide Phillips.
This morning the Angela King Gallery in New Orleans sent us link to video recorded of Big Chief Shaka Zulu and Golden Feather Hunter tribe-members emerging in their gigantic artistry this past Mardi Gras morning. The energy and splendor reminded me of how Kidd and Morikeba played on this track in Summer of 2014. We’re very lucky in those we know!
“Your Body Is A Nurturing I Ride Into Night /
New Cars And Power-Lines Are Strung Out To L.A.”,
videography by Aristide Phillips.
Your body is a nurturing
I ride into night
Your body is of spirit things
To bring soul's delight
Your body is replenishing
Source gives back to thirst
Your body is of healing things
From it wants are burst
` Hi-dee-High
Hi-dee-High
Hi-dee-High-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
New cars and power lines
Are strung out to L. A.
How we use the time we have
Is our means our light
Birds are mired in the oil,
Palms and firs shrink by Bays
How we meet the calls of life
Is our play with paradise
Damage is a constat
As cars run round the clock
Dying can't be accident
If we boil in our own pots
Politicians banning Art
Scumbags wash to shore
No shame in Nature's gifts
Naked 's where it starts
Your body is a nurturing
I ride into night
Your body is of spirit things
To bring soul's delight
Your body is replenishing
Source gives back to thirst
Your body is of healing things
From it wants are burst
` An-other world!
An-other world!
An-other world is there for us
Starry, fleshly night
