"Kyrie" was a hit song for two weeks in March of 1986. The song was performed by Mr. Mister. The chorus kyrie elesion is Greek for "Lord, Have Mercy." Walking in, looking down the row of bodies resting along the bar, each in their autumn sweater, I imagine that I've entered into the coolest fucking monastery ever. Men are drinking beer and courting women, just as they would have long ago in those infamous enclaves, either nestled in the mountains or tucked safely inside the walls of the city-state. And the air is full of prayer. Kyrie elesion, kyrie elesion, kyrie elesion.
"Somewhere between the soul and soft machine is where I find myself again."
