No way to say this without sounding insanely pretentious but. Really lovely and wistful lost (and now remastered) record by an Ethiopian nun from the 1970s <3 Blends a lot of the Ethiopian liturgical tradition with Western textures and a jazz-y, improvisational playfulness... and sounds so intimate like you're in the room with her. I can't find the lyrics anywhere and have no idea what she's saying but I can feel it and it moves me.

this ethiopian nun composed some beautiful songs that perfectly encapsulate the state of always yearning for something. it’a the perfect music to listen to on a plane while playing zelda. my favs are probably ‘ballad of the spirits’ and ‘mother’s love’.

So ok when I was a child running in the night — afraid of what might be hiding in the dark, hiding in the street, and what was following me — the hounds of love were hunting me! I've always been a coward! I don't know what's good for me. Oh, here I go... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!!! Oh, help me, someone, help me, please!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I found a fox caught by dogs. He let me take him in my hands. His little heart, it beat so fast, and I'm ashamed of running away. I mean, from nothing real, I just can't deal with this... I'm still afraid to be there. Among the hounds of love. And to feel your arms surround me. I've always been a coward and have never known what's good for me. Oh here I go... don't let me go... hold me down... it's coming for me through the trees!!!!! Help me, darling! Help me, please!!!!!!!!! Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water. I don't know what's good for me, I don't know what's good for me... I need love! Your love. And take your shoes off and throw them in the lake. Do you know what I really need? Do you know what I really need? LOVE!
