[@greystar321]

i dunno why but him coughing made me cry. just such a simple, human moment in the middle of such a beautiful expression. and he keeps going. such a wonderful soul

[@gierasole]

The coughing did make me cry. Lol

One of the most experimental singers died before the world could really take in his music. The internet is an amazing place for reliving the great moments created by Arthur Russell and his music. RIP.

[@billba]

His Go Bang was a big club hit in the 80s and 90s

[@tomigaeta]

That's true, the internet can be a lovely place sometimes. I was watching a Nick Mulvey interview and he said Arthur Russel was a reference. His music is just amazing and I want to watch his documentary now.

[@theactorjohnlarroquette]

I mean Arthur had been working in the scene for over a decade and had tons of releases and adoring fans

[@gierasole]

​@@theactorjohnlarroquette this is true, but imo his music was absolutely foundation shaking and if he had more time with us, perhaps the foundations would've been shaken. Alas, we cannot wish for such things now. Only make peace with the pieces.

[@theactorjohnlarroquette]

@@gierasole did he not shake the foundations? Beach House plays in car commercials and some r&b singers sound more like Arthur than Marvin

[@willschreitz7746]

the vocal control, the melodic originality, the intimacy, its like a fertile garden bed, always so inspired by this music

[@lotuseater7247]

'a fertile garden bed'.

Man said fertile garden bed 💀💀

RIP Phill Niblock - thanks for this

i could not even imagine how amazing and peaceful it would be to see him live

There’s no one like Arthur. He might be one of the most original musicians ever

The video work here matches the ethereal nature of his voice and music so well... dark space, brilliant light... amazing that this exists.

There's a whole universe inside this .... amazing

[@weeFILM]

This emits its own space-time field .. ceremonial, shamanic, transcendental ... World-making ...

You are not wrong. Something is happening there.

[@coaltin2509]

Incredible. Remarkable talent, and soul. Thank you Arthur.

[@mathhew7352]

I see the divine in you Russell.

[@borrisaudio6955]

Such a tragic story of a genius.

[@billowandbethany]

This still beats most anything on this miraculous platform we got going here. Resonant beauty incarnate.

It’s okay to celebrate a musician without feeling the need to shit on others, I promise.

Agradecimiento eterno a la música de Arthur Russell, vibrante, emocionante y sublime, uno de los seres más bellos que han pasado por este universo

[@swaslaukinonome]

I guess there are instruments and vocals but it always feels like Arthur Russell played his music in the very nerves that I'm supposed to be hear it with. Melopoeia

dam this guy really just played the same song for 34 minutes... sicko mode

[@crackjastner]

Hi Kyle! Small World :)

[@trentfair]

not the same song buddy

[@AmbroseCadwell]

​@@trentfairtbf the first two thirds is mostly him vamping on Soon-To-Be Innocent Fun, he does something similar on Terrace Of Unintelligibility so it's clearly an intentional device; the whole of the videos is like a river of fragments of song turned over in a current of pure sound.

[@fandelchef3652]

he plays a lot of songs, quoting the melodies and lyrics... for example in 21:34 he's singing the boy with a smile/by the moon

[@Chezporez]

Anybody can make out the full lyrics?
