| Brian Eno – Everything Merges with the Night Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I was just thinking of this song and the phrase "Santiago/under the volcano" struck me. It occurred to me that it was only a couple of years or so after the coup in Chile when Eno wrote this song. I can't read a direct comment on the coup into the song, but unless he specifically had another Santiago in mind it's difficult to think he could have referred to it without thinking about the repression in Chile. Perhaps there was something more deliberate in it to start with and it got changed for artistic reasons. Of course with Oblique Strategies in play there might have been some other consideration at work. | |
