This song creeps me out. I don’t know why.

[u/RickStevensAndTheCat]

This has been stuck in my head since the ep dropped

I can see how this belongs in a pill mix

This always reminds me of when I worked in retail back in the early 2000s. One of the songs in our rotation was a mash-up of "O Superman" by Laurie Anderson and "Stairway to Heaven" by Dolly Parton and "This City Never Sleeps" by the Eurythmics and "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benetar.

Didn't she invent a new kind of violin for this song? I think the strings were actually cut up pieces of audio tape.

...this is the hand that takes...

Laurie Anderson is one of my favorite people. Listening to bright red on a late night is amazing.

[u/asimpleboatman]

I'm fucking loving this. A lot. The Bowie cover of this is pretty amazing also.

Of all the things to murder people too...like, when you put it in that context this song just gets unsettling as hell
