Subject: [K-list] Losing the Big Red Sun Blues
From: Nina
On 2001/09/18 04:48, Nina posted thus to the K-list: I have been channeling popular music in my waking dreams lately. ;)
This morning's playlist: Lucinda Williams' Big Red Sun Blues.
Yes, something of a Rorschach test... but one could see the lyrics as
metaphor for a particular construction of "self" in relation
to "current events".
The last refrain is the trickiest one of all... particularly the
potential to fall for that promise and kiss.

Big Red Sun Blues
Lucinda Williams
Everything is goin' wrong
It's not right anymore
We can't seem to get along
The way we did before
Sun is hangin' in the sky
Sinkin' low and so am I
Just for the love of someone
And a big red sun
How am I gonna lose these big red sun blues
Big red sun, big red sun, big red sun blues
True love to hold
Is worth everything
It's worth more than gold
Or any diamond ring
But this little diamond
And a heart that's been broken
Are all I got from you
Big red sun
Look out at that western sky
Out over the open plains
God only knows why
This is all that remains
But give me one more promise
and another kiss
And I guess the deal's still on
You big red sun
