I'd just like to point out that I posted this when it looked like things wouldn't be that bad, in my defense.

Still, most of these songs are appropriately tragic.

Does there come a point when these kinds of threads are just plain inhuman?

― PB, Friday, 2 September 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

Agreed, this just isn't funny.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 September 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

I don't think anyone's making light of the situation. (If you are, you're a complete asshole.) ILM is nothing, if not a place where people tie music to events in gigantic lists. Not meant to diminish the seriousness of what's going on in NO right now.

Katrina (The Hurricane)
(to the tune of Corrina, Corrina, Bob Dylan)

Katrina, Katrina
Gal, What have you done?
Katrina, Katrina
Gal, What have you done?
I been worr’in’ ‘bout my baby
Since you took my home.

I got a mom that’s injured
I got a pa that’s dead
I got a child that’s missing
I got a man that’s dead
But I ain’ a-got N'Orleans
Life don’t mean a thing.

Katrina, Katrina
Gal, you’re on my mind
Katrina, Katrina
Gal, you’ve done me wrong
I’m a-thinking’ ‘bout you, baby
I just can’t keep from crying

one month passes...

Following hurricane Katrina, I wrote and recorded a song called "New Orleans 2005", to channel some of my anger at the conspicuous lack of disaster relief, and at what I believe are the racist underpinnings of such lack. The ultra-simplistic arrangement (just a drone and voice) as well as its message are aspects of the song which may well appeal to you. The song is not for sale, but rather is available only as a free download (MP3 format). I hope you'll take a moment to go to the website below, listen to the song, and dowload it if you so desire.
