Laser Beam
Low
Still thinking about Mimi Parker today and so I’ll pay tribute with a few more songs. This one is so simple and startling — from their masterful record THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE. So good. I love how her vocals and lyrics are front and center — so pure, beautiful, hypnotizing. No one wrote and sang quite like her. Man it kills me to write that last sentence in past tense. 💔
Here’s Mimi and Alan talking about the song — worth a watch!
I don't need a laser beam
I don't need the time
Leave me in the car tonight
Rest your drunken mind
I need your grace
Alone
Lesser things are on your mind
Don't you think I know?
Will this poison scar my eyes?
Mother, close the door
I need your grace
Alone
I don't need a laser beam
I don't need a laser beam
