"Electric Ladyland is a beacon of light to me and all my earthbound siblings. If she is our sunlight, then we are her grass; she nurtures us. A warm embrace in the rays of her love to help us grow. Electric Ladyland is our ecosystem, she is anywhere and everywhere. Her love overpowers and unites us in body, mind and spirit. We are better for being here because she connects us to ourselves and each other. Electric Ladyland is a place of dizzy -less headstands, whimsical creation, magical connection. Telling is different than knowing. May we meet here one day soon. May you know the love we have created. "
A spell for the road
In all that I am, I am here
In all that I seek, is what I need
Blessed be the places that we make
Blessed be the the names we forsake In honour of the whole
In one big moving prayer
“IT’S LIKE WHEN I’M WITH MY AUDIENCE, THE ONES THAT TRANSCEND WITH ME, BY THE END OF THE SHOW THERE IS NO SPLIT BETWEEN ME AND THEM. WE’RE RESONATING OFF OF EACH OTHER. IT'S TANGIBLE. THAT'S WHAT THIS PLACE DOES FOR ME. IT ELIMINATES THIS IDEA OF YOU AND I. IT’S JUST US. ”
“WHAT
DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ELECTRIC LADY? WELL I THINK IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING COOL, BEING…BEING FREE. I THINK IT’S ALL ABOUT LIVING IN COLOUR AND JAMMING AND HANGING OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS. THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN ELECTRIC LADY. ANYBODY CAN BE AN ELECTRIC LADY…BUT YOU GOTTA BE COOL, YOU GOTTA BE COOL. ”
I see through portals of orgasmic light
Vibrations carry me across crowds
We all meet where we are
It’s the same everywhere
No one is immune to the light we only feel
The sounds we cannot hear
I travel alone with the one and only
The almighty everything
These trips lift me out of who I once was
I died somewhere along the line
And this person who replaced me is mighty fine
They move with ease
Strength and assuredness
They fuck
They stay calm
They breathe deep and exhale loud
They’ve made no room for fear
