The Beginning of Memory - Laurie Anderson[00:00:00]
There's a story in an ancient play[00:00:27]
About birds called The Birds[00:00:28]
And it's a short story[00:00:32]
From before the world began[00:00:33]
From a time when there was no earth [00:00:36]
No land [00:00:38]
Only air and birds everywhere [00:00:40]
But the thing was[00:00:47]
There was no place to land [00:00:48]
Because there was no land [00:00:50]
So they just circled around and around [00:00:54]
Because this was before the world began [00:00:57]
And the sound was deafening [00:01:04]
Songbirds were everywhere [00:01:07]
Billions and billions[00:01:09]
And billions of birds [00:01:10]
And one of these birds was a lark[00:01:16]
And one day her father died [00:01:18]
And this was a really big problem[00:01:20]
Because what should they do with the body [00:01:22]
There was no place to put the body[00:01:25]
Because there was no earth [00:01:26]
And finally the lark had a solution [00:01:40]
She decided to bury her father[00:01:45]
In the back if her own head [00:01:47]
And this was the beginning of memory [00:01:51]
Because before this[00:01:58]
No one could remember a thing [00:02:00]
They were just constantly flying in circles [00:02:03]
Constantly flying in huge circles[00:02:08]
