Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
BOILEN: Describe the cover art for us.
CLARK: The theme is "near-future cult leader." I'm wearing this metallic dress, and my hair, I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket. ... The throne that I'm sitting on is inspired by the Memphis design movement, which is very much about elemental shapes. The other inspiration was Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain, which is a movie from the '70s that features all this really intense, bizarro imagery.
A description of the experience
St. Vincent - Marrow (Official Video)
"Marrow"
Muscle connects to the bone
And bone to the ire and the marrow
I wish I had a gentle mind
And a spine made up of iron
Mouth connects to the teeth
And teeth to the loves and curses
Honey can you reach the spot
That need oilin' and fixin'?
H-E-L-P
Help me, help me
H-E-L-P
Help me, help me
Muscle connects to the bone
And bone to the ire and the marrow
So I pretend there aren't ten strings
Tied to all ten of my fingers
H-E-L-P
Help me, help me
If you want we could go somewhere else
