The song was recorded in 1986, around the time of Arthur’s HIV/AIDS diagnosis. In his biography of Arthur Russell, ‘Follow Your Dreams’, author Tim Lawrence speculates he may have written ‘Sudden Chill’ with the test results in mind. However, recently released live recording from 1985 shows the song...
A sudden chill broke the dream
He leans away from where he is
He laughs or tries to laugh
And thinks to himself
That's the very reason
I have opened this
You reminded me
I responded in the other way
He's walking through
The temple door
What secrets are in his mind?
Explaining to himself the thoughts of the day
But he leaves one thing out
That's the very reason
I have opened this
You reminded me
I responded in the other way
