Face to Face with Allen Ginsberg (part 1)

Face to Face with Allen Ginsberg - interview by Jeremy Isaacs (1995). Includes performance of 'Father Death Blues': "Hey Father Death, I'm flying home / Hey poor man, you're all alone / Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going // Father Death, Don't cry any more / Mama's there, underneath the floor / Brother Death, please mind the store // Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones / Old Uncle Death I hear your groans / O Sister Death how sweet your moans // O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths / Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths / Pain is gone, tears take the rest // Genius Death your art is done / Lover Death your body's gone / Father Death I'm coming home // Guru Death your words are true / Teacher Death I do thank you / For inspiring me to sing this Blues // Buddha Death, I wake with you / Dharma Death, your mind is new / Sangha Death, we'll work it through // Suffering is what was born / Ignorance made me forlorn / Tearful truths I cannot scorn // Father Breath once more farewell / Birth you gave was no thing ill / My heart is still, as time will tell." Also includes performance of 'Ah! Sunflower' by William Blake: "Ah! sunflower, weary of time, / Who countest the steps of the sun, / Seeking after that sweet golden clime / Where the traveller's journey is done; // Where the youth pined away with desire, / And the pale virgin shrouded in snow, / Arise from their graves and aspire; / Where my sunflower wishes to go."
