about

A trope on David Crosby's "Deja Vu".

Rosa Thomas at the helm this time.

It's in a ragamalika or garland of ragas, namely The Mystery Raga [as sung by Amir Khan], Mohanam, Multani, and Belushi (also called Bluesy).

More cowbell! which here straddles David's 12/8 and 3/2.

The contour of his melody begets gamelan-like parts floating above it, like Korean court-musicians playing what they picked up in Turkey.

lyrics

If I had ever been here before, I would probably know what to do.
Don't you?
If I ever had been here before on another time around the wheel, I would prob'ly know just how to deal
with all of you.
We have all been here before.

Nature is what we know
but have no art to say
so impotent our wisdom is
