Pierce Pettis, “Chase the Buffalo”
I cannot name this passion
Don’t know where this stuff comes from
Maybe its a trail of tears
Or just a trail of crumbs
But there is music in all this
It is all material
Before the beauty melts like snow
Chase the buffalo
Byrne posted about this a while back, but it’s worth watching the video to hear all the sound clips matched to the pictures.
I’m very much in love with the idea that although we all have “passion” inside us, this passion has to be channeled into a vessel—an art form—that exists as part of a context: an art gallery, a blog, a bookstore, an iPod, a concert hall, etc.
