LAURIE ANDERSON
O Superman
1981 U.S. 7” single @ 33rpm
One of the most inventive, unlikely, baffling, and MOVING “hit” singles of all time.
Just two alternating chords using an Eventide Harmonizer and a Roland VP-330 vocoder, the song was broken and championed by the great John Peel on BBC RADIO 1.
Lyrically, it’s mind bending, and many people, including Anderson herself, has said it’s about many things.
I’m not particularly interested in any of that. Just that when I hear it (still to this day), it strikes such an inexplicable emotional nerve in me that I can’t explain.
It’s a remarkable piece of art.
Perhaps Anderson summed it up best.
“Technology cannot save you.”
