Dave Bruebeck is a default lately

Lula was a girl from a humble town
She had a mean drunk daddy; liked to push her around
He sold what he called 'poor man's cocaine'
But the police called it methamphetamine
One night she sunk her knife in the small of his back
Ain't no one gonna find where she buried him at
She hopped a train up the river into Omaha
Did some dirty damn things and bought a broke-down car

She'd say 'I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down, have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke

Now people do funny things to numb their pain
And Lula drank liquor to forget her name
She used to sleep it off under an old Oak tree
In the Pontiac she bought with her money from the streets

She'd say "I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down; have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer somebody tell me a joke

She was crying for a life that she never knew
What could have been, how it was and what she oughta do
She wipe the tears from her eyes and shut her mouth
When her feet hit the river all the lights went out

She'd say "I ain't getting younger, I just wanna feel good
I ain't gonna do what you want cause you tell me I should
I'm just gonna sit right down; have a smoke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke
Somebody buy me a beer; somebody tell me a joke

Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

This is great.

:party: I love the whole album.

Any links to the whole album?

I was inspired to relisten to Ground Zero - Consume Red by your song:

I'm 25 minutes in and the drums have just entered the battle. :up:

I have a vertiginous feeling that I've heard it before, or even used to be kind of into it, and I've since forgotten it. :chin:

I found the Noto/Sakamoto album because I was having a look through the releases by the Ensemble Modern. Another one I liked:

I used it in one of my old OP's, so maybe that's where you heard it before.

Interesting. What was that about?

What counts as listening?

It was 5 years ago so it's been awhile.

Oh yeah! That was interesting. I even contributed a few posts myself, so maybe you're right and I heard it there.
