A video I made for Rasputina's weepy cello waltz "Sister Sleep" song with some 1890's Thomas Edison and The Lumiere Brothers footage of famous dancers Annabelle Whitman and Loie Fuller performing the serpentine dance and the butterfly dance. (Some of the oldest moving pictures int he world!) I also put a few clips of Raspuitna in there, the cello queens themselves. Lyrics are as follows : Wee lee-ike to smoke pohot. We lee-ike it a lohot. Owower smeall eyes are tee-arharering fower what we have nohot. Thee nee-ice peeipe is neeayeeair. A lee-iteeair is neeayeeair I I wee-on't become free-ayked out fee-ayeear no-ott sistair dee-ayar. We meiss the bleeue skyeehi. It is cee-old we will cryeehi. Owower bee-ig mind is weeayneeaying and we nee-ow kneow whyeehi. We wee-ant to fee-ayel wohorm. Yayet outside the nohorm. We weeant to be a crayaydelheld and then be rebohoeren. :) And for the "translation" We like to smoke pot. We like it a lot. Our small eyes are tearing for what we have not. The nice pipe is here. A lighter is near I won't become freaked out, fear not sister dear We miss the blue skies. It is cold we will cry Our big mind is waning, and we now know why We want to feel warm, yet outside the norm We want to be cradle-held and then be reborn.
