St. Everyday


Enugu, Nigeria - 1985
From the album Anything You Sow

Trembling outer space synthesizer, shuffling electronic percussion (the hi-hats are pretty wild), subtle saxophone, and Mr. Onyeabor's repeated lyrics combine to make a perfect summertime love song.
 
Verily, verily, verily, I say unto you: You are my only beloved one

This version is a little slower and much shorter than what's on the album.  An mp3 of this version is available, for free, on a compilation from one of our most regularly visited internet places: Flash Strap.

The album version and a wacky fan video can be heard/seen here.
