The Glossy Shoebox Episode 31 - Track 9: Bad Seed

This podcast episode is about Rusalka's Umbrella track #9: "Bad Seed." It's the part of the sequence within the CD that gets into innocence vs. deviance. The photograph shown here is a view I found from the top of The Grotto in Portland, OR - which is the grotto I referred to in this song. Listen to the podcast to find out the full meaning of the song and how Mermaids (staring Cher) fits in.

Good news! The book is here! Learn more about the new CD in Daughters of the Dead Sea which is now available at amazon.com. This 100-page paperback book has diary entries, poems, and lyrics/descriptions all relating to Rusalka's Umbrella.

BAD SEED

Just keep yourself strong," I said To the grotto and stone the gardens and the thorns of a monastery And the minute she arrived, they knew they'd have to bury a bad seed But she's here, and she tries But she's here, don't go. Let go. Don't let go, she could be anywhere Like a clouded sky, she's almost everywhere You can't the holy out of the water And she knew right then she could be anywhere and here. Routier pauvre et chantant And there she concedes in the gardens and the thorns of a monastery dirt in her finger nails, dig a little hole for a bad seed And the minute it was buried, she knew she'd lost a friend and a sister She was ready to go from the grotto and the stone of the monetary All the life she could taste from the gardens and the thorns of a bad seed MySpace | Facebook | Twitter | Last.FM
