Saul Williams “Sunday Bloody Sunday”
Posted to YouTube by newyorknewyokNY
Official video for Saul Williams’ cover of “Sunday Bloody Sunday” from the album “The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust.” Produced by Trent Reznor
In case you are wondering what I think about this album…
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!
“Side effects may include simply being who you are.”
Ask me what my favorite album is and I will tell you The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust! by Saul Williams.
Albums like this are a true rarity in my life, where both the music and lyrics work together as one, getting into my head, forever changing how I hear the world around me. I look forward to the weekends when find myself in my darkened listening space, pacing to the rhythms, yelling the words into my fist.
Instead of descending into a preachy speech as to why you need to own this, I’m giving you this link. You have the option of downloading it for free, or paying $5. The choice is yours.
