“Lightning” with music by Philip Glass, and lyrics by Suzanne Vega. This is from the 1986 album “Songs from Liquid Days”, where Glass collaborates with various pop musicians to create some interesting pieces. Listening to this you would swear it is sequenced, but actually every note (even the synths) is played by humans. I once saw the Philip Glass ensemble perform live and was completely blown away by their performance. Vocals on this track by Janice Pendarvis. Listen out for polyrythms on the kick drum around 4:20 - the lyrics go “now I feel it in my blood” and it suddenly feels like some sort of heart palpitations. Hopefully someone else out there also likes this kind of obscure stuff…
