A clip from HEARTWORN HIGHWAYS (1975). My man Gary Gunn put me on to this. Can’t wait to see the whole film.

Gilliam says he hadn’t read Orwell’s 1984 before creating this. Both are pretty close to our present-day realities. Lovely stuff!

It’s supposed to be about Gus Van Sant.

Art house director, art house director
we lost magic light until tomorrow night
art house director, art house director
make the waters part into an empty heart

its been like a joke
every step of the way
is there something to coax
the truth of the day

defeat deflector defeat deflector
the rushes will not lie I swear this is your guy
& the starlet is a harlot she does not leave the trailer
she thinks that you’re a jailer
or someone that delayed her

chorus

I never meant for it to be that way
But since I have your attention
I’ll just give you what you want
And maybe I’ll be in your trailer

canyon connector purist protector
all the fun fell through we cant escape the gloom
and the starlet is a harlot she will not leave the trailer
she says that you betrayed her with a surfer from Australia.

chorus

That led me to the film POWAQQATSI – Life In Transformation (1988) by Godfrey Reggio. This is the second on a series with KOYAANISQATSI – Life Out Of Balance (1982) and NAQOYQATSI Life As War (2002). Words won’t do them justice.
