song 067 : Kali (DNA + Outtakes)

The chimes were bought in an import shop in Little Tokyo. On our way there and back we walked by most of what Ronnie describes in the lyrics.

A pun on Cali but sincerely a hymn to the great Hindu mother goddess Kali, this song started as some riffs I was working on when Debbie left the band. I didn’t want to play them anymore but Ronnie liked them so much he wrote lyrics for them.

The refrain “grace and mercy in your wild hair” was inspired by Grace and Mercy in Her Wild Hair: Selected Poems to the Mother Goddess, a collection of Tantric poems to Kali by the great Hindu poet Ramprasad Sen.

Ronnie is a witchy lad indeed, although he doesn’t do ceremonies or covens. Honestly, he probably knows more about your religion than you do. He’s an encyclopedia of weird facts about history. His fellow pagans will enjoy knowing that Ronnie was born at 3:14 AM (pi) on the Feast of Artemis.
