In the nearly ten-minute track, Nai Palm fuses together a cover of David Bowie’s 2015 track “★ (Blackstar)” with a cover of her band Hiatus Kaiyote’s own 2015 song “Breathing Underwater.” Additionally, Palm’s rendition of “★ (Blackstar)” is layered over the melody of Radiohead’s 2001 track “Pyramid...
Part I: Blackstar / Pyramid Song
[Verse]
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Lies a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
On the day of execution (Ooh)
On the day of execution (Ooh)
All the women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
[Verse]
In the villa of Ormen, ah, in the villa of Ormen, ah
Lies a solitary candle, ah-ah, oh-oh
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
Part II: Breathing Underwater
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
Material, slowly unwind as I leave feathers behind
For your love, for your lover to find
Warm hands wrapped in blue linen from Torrington
For your love, for your lover to find
Wild rose, Jericho sun, arid as stone
For your love, for your lover to find
Aorta, tattoo the artery with acute artistry
For your love, for your lover to find
Breathing, breathing underwater
Breathing, breathing underwater
Breathe you underwater
Pleasure, melting a snowflake of lace down your face
For your love, for your lover to find
I could call your demons inside, soak them in Camomile
For your love, for your lover to find
Breathing, breathing underwater
Breathing, breathing underwater
I could breathe you underwater
To find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
For your love, for your lover to find
Breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
Breathing underwater
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover, your love, for your love
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
For your love, for your lover
I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in
I want you to breathe it in, I want you to breathe it in
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water
The word hurts, the word hurts
The word hurts, the word hurts
In water, in water
In water, in water

It really struck my world when he died, the day he died, my friend who was actually on this tour with me at the moment, she tattooed his eyes on me the day he died. I think the reason why I chose that song is there’s something profoundly beautiful about the fact that he was an artist and he knew he...
