Love’s Blazon: Parzifal and the Lady he awoke

 

“The lady had fallen asleep. She wore Love’s blazon–a mouth of translucent red, torment to the hearts of amorous knights. She slept with parted lips that wore the Flames of Love’s hot fire.  Thus lay the loveliest challenge to adventure imaginable.”

‘Upon my word, you are Parzifal!’  She said of the red lips.  ‘Your name means ‘pierce-through-the-heart.’

Watch “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution” on YouTube

Continuing reflections of 1980’s music: Tracy Chapman’s self-titled 1988 release must be mentioned.

Everyone remembers Fast Car. What an effing lovely lyrical pop song.

The album was subjected to the 1980’s drum production.

In this case, forgiveable.

First track of the record here.

Great opening. This revolution sounds positive. Joyful. Honest.

Hooked for the rest of the album right away i was as a kiddo.

Still am. Cuz ima post another song off this album.

Go buy her record. I did.
