1974
Needles in the Camel’s Eye
Brian Eno
I was thinking of a song that sounds like careening out of the womb without any choice; about being born your first time; about my mom and dad and the ending of their youths and the beginning of mine. I love how everything sounds like a jumbled excited cacophony at first, with nothing in focus and barely distinguishable vocals, until the guitar solo jumps up to clarify its existence—and yours.
Fave lyrics:
Oh what could be my destiny Another rainy day Why ask why? For by the by and by All mysteries are just more Needles in the camel’s eye
