This song is actually an direct homage to a french album: "L'histoire de Melody Nelson" by Serge Gainbourg. It's an album considered by many (and not only french, like me) as one of the finest album ever. Check google for "Melody Nelson" for more information. All I can say is that if like this song you'll love this album. Give it 3 or 4 listenings and you'll be hooked for at least a couple of months. Trust me on this one ! |

Melody just died in a plane crash - a night cargo plane - somewhere along the shore of Guinea. The song starts from there (the crash itself is at the end of the previous song). It's an egnimatic song about guineans indigens worshiping their totems and the Boiengs and DC4s (D.C quatre) flying over their heads and throwing |

Her voice is honey to my ears. A female voice of that power, singing the rock, is so rare! Love her. Love them. They are my secret jewel listening. Nobody knows them. How come? The power of music industry miseducation I guess. Whatever, I am fortunate to know them. Strong song BTW. Not my album's favorite but I love it. |
