GEORGE HARRISSON my sweet lord

.
when leaving the recordstore in tokyo where i got that 7inch with J,, the luminous news-bands on the skyscrapers announced Harrisson's death.

to me, this song will be forever connected to a very old and used tape my father had recorded from the radio in the mid 70ies for his car. i discove-
red it at the age of seven, the day my brother was brought to hospital for incomprehensible reasons that made the whole situation even more frightening to me.
i spent the whole day in his room, crying and listening incessantly to the tape. My Sweet Lord was its first track. it gave me hope.


listen.
