“Catastrophe”
As is well known, my personal discovery of any popular piece of art officially marks the beginning of its demise and relegation to unhipness, but I still must say that I am absolutely smitten with the song “Catastrophe” by the group Rainer Maria. I only know new music through the medium of the recently-introduced music video channel we have here on Austin cable, and that is how I found this song (as I also found Gnarls Barkley’s song “Crazy” not too long ago).
“Catastrophe” is a wonderful moment of songwriting genius. I don’t know if the two dark-haired girls in the video are just actresses playing out the lyrics, but the singer of the song is a beautiful young woman with a very rich and feminine voice.
I hope she is the writer of the song, too.
