LAIBACH: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (1988; Lennon/McCartney)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears Inciting and inviting me Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns And calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Jai guru deva Jai guru deva Jai guru deva Jai guru deva Jai guru deva Jai guru deva

Song Diary Day 36: "Sympathy for the Devil (Who Killed the Kennedys)" by Laibach

Growing up, I was that kid that always had to have eccentric tastes. I would actively seek out the bizarre and hard to find stuff, and that went for my taste in music, too. Instead of listening to the classic or popular music everyone else listened to, I would be listening to the ethnic drums of Indonesia, or a guy that converted a skateboard into a guitar, or a German orchestra with instruments literally made out of vegetables. All of the above were things I actually listened to, by the way! But because I filled up my younger days with stuff like this, my exposure to classic rock was pretty stunted.

In fact, I had never even heard the original version of "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones until about 4 years ago. It was pretty good, and the song found its way onto one of my playlists on YouTube. And then Spotify came out, and with it came a flood of lesser-known artists that had covered many of the popular songs I'd enjoyed.

One of those artists was Laibach, a Slovenia industrial band. Their cover of this song is much more ominous and disjointed, and the layered female vocals really make the narrator of the song seem extra shifty and untrustworthy. The song is really a complete tonal shift from the original version, and that's what makes it so enjoyable.

After listening to other songs by Laibach, though, I wasn't too impressed by their other offerings. Apparently the female vocalist I enjoyed so much wasn't even a permanent part of Laibach. Her name is Anja Rupel, and looking up her work sent me down a rabbit hole on YouTube that took an entire Saturday afternoon of listening to 80s-inspired Slovene pop music.

But that, my friends, is a story for another day!
