A friend played this song for me and I can’t stop listening to it–its a fantastic song to begin with plus Jamie XX of the XX plus Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover, who plays Troy on the show Community).

Protean genius David Lynch can’t help but be better than everybody at everything. The dark lord of all things strange and sublime, his appreciation for the uncanny power of subtle surreality infuses all of his work, imbuing it–and, by extension, the scenes of middle American banality typically depicted therein–with a kind of ill-begotten, paranoid profundity. While Lynch’s remix of Zola Jesus’ “In Your Nature” surely doesn’t ascend to the magical heights of, say, Blue Velvet, it nevertheless bears traces of his enigmatic aesthetic. Shimmering guitars, plodding drums, and an ominous grinding sound lend a certain hypnotic momentum to Nika Danilova’s powerful vocal performance that the original utterly lacks. This is one of those rare instances when the remix wins.

Heard this song on 89.3 the current–my home state radio station ya’ll should check it out–while I was driving and it seemed to fit the mood of my day. Hope you enjoy!

I’d love to be more secular, but it’s hard to ignore RUN-DMC around Christmas because of this song. Face it, this song is a classic.

This song is one of those ones that once I start listening to I just can’t stop–there is just something so truthful about the lyrics (not to mention its fantastic to run to).

This is why they call it “soul” music

This is a masterly song in itself, but the video is beyond wowza and features mask-wearing tribesmen, sentimental kudus and ginormous saxophone-schreeching eels.
