Spinning Away - Brian Eno & John Cale (1990) HD FLAC
“Spinning Away“ was released on the Brian Eno & John Cale collaboration album, Wrong Way Up, in the fall of 1990. I think this album is masterpiece, it’s a shame that it’s relatively overlooked and wasn’t more popular when it was released. The album is filled with other great tracks, and you owe it to yourself to seek it out if you haven’t heard it before. This is an especially gorgeous and special lyrics, arrangement, and vocals combine to create an absolutely haunting and hypnotic tune! One of those songs (Eno has several) that I wouldn’t mind being the last notes I ever heard as I exited from this place to the next.
As a huge fan of Brian Eno, this was the record I’d been waiting to hear from Eno since his string of masterpieces in the mid-late 70’s ending with Before And After Science in 1977.
I’ve mentioned that the very first video I worked on when I stared making videos was for Eno’s “St. Elmos Fire“ (still unfinished!, though I did grab Fripp’s blistering solo for my first channel really got to finish that vid one day! LOL!). I’d also started working on vids for a few other of my favorite Eno songs and I’m thrilled that I finally got something finished for this song, which is my favorite from the album and one of my all-time Eno tracks of all. The lyrics, arrangement, and vocals combine to create an absolutely haunting and hypnotic tune! One of those songs (Eno has several) that I wouldn’t mind being the last notes I ever heard as I exited from this place to the next.
The album sits between the electronic and prog-rock/art rock genres and features some of both Eno’s and Cale’s most mainstream work. The single “Been There, Done That“ remains the only Eno single to ever reach an American chart. The cover picture is by Eno.
HUGE THANKS to everyone who’s art made this new art YOU!!!!!!!
[Lyrics]
Up On a Hill, As the Day Dissolves
With My Pencil Turning Moments Into Line
High Above in the Violet Sky
A Silent Silver Plane - It Draws a Golden Chain
One By One, All the Stars Appear
As the Great Winds of the Planet Spiral In
Spinning Away, Like the Night Sky At Arles
In the Million Insect Storm, the Constellations Form
On a Hill, Under a Raven Sky
I Have no Idea Exactly What I’ve Drawn
Some Kind of Change, Some Kind of Spinning Away
With Every Single Line Moving Further Out in Time
And Now As the Pale Moon Rides (In the Stars)
Her Form in My Pale Blue Lines (In the Stars)
And There, As the World Rolls Round (In the Stars)
I Draw, But the Lines Move Round (In the Stars)
There, As the Great Wheels Blaze (In the Stars)
I Draw, But My Drawing Fades (In the Stars)
And Now, As the Old Sun Dies (In the Stars)
I Draw, and the Four Winds Sigh (In the Stars) uk
