In Native American cultures, such as the Iroquois and Plains peoples, the sun was recognized as a life-giving force. And after being a long time fan of hers, Cat Power – for me has reinforced this sentiment with her 2012 album ‘Sun‘. Reportedly she’s had set-backs, health and financial problems, sadness, gone to deep dark bad places and back and all the rest of the shit that is part of the human condition. But what is absolutely brilliant about her is, she doesn’t give up despite the kicks and the knocks – she doesn’t fain to make it public but is honest and remains true to herself and I truly admire her for that.
Sun is a life giver and middle finger to whatever gets you down, despite where she gets her inspiration from when it’s out there, it’s out there and I very much hope there’ll be more on its way.
Thus this prelude to the review of her concert tonight at Volkhaus, Zürich on tomorrows reverb. Go see her! Tickets:
