LYRICS:
In the villa of Ormen 
in the villa of Ormen 
Stands a solitary candle 
In the centre of it all 
in the centre of it all 
Your eyes 
​ 
On the day of execution 
on the day of execution 
Only women kneel and smile 
ah-ah 
ah-ah 
At the centre of it all 
at the centre of it all 
Your eyes 
your eyes 


In the villa of Ormen 
in the villa of Ormen 
Stands a solitary candle 
at the centre of it all 
at the centre of it all 
Your eyes 

your eyes 

Something happened on the day he died 
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside 
Somebody else took his place and bravely cried 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a blackstar 
​ 
How many times does an angel fall? 
How many people lie instead of talking tall? 
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud-into-the-crowd 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m not a gangster 
​ 
I can’t answer why 
(I’m a blackstar) 
Just go with me 
(I’m not a filmstar) 
I’m-a take you home 
(I’m a blackstar) 
Take your passport and shoes 
(I’m not a popstar) 
And your sedatives, boo 
(I’m a blackstar) 
You’re a flash in the pan 
(I’m not a marvel star) 
I’m the great I am 
(I’m a blackstar) 
​ 
I’m a blackstar, way up, oh-honey-I’ve-got-game 
I see right so white, so open-heart it’s plain 
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a blackstar 
​ 
Something happened on the day he died 
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside 
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a star star 
I’m a blackstar 
​ 
(I)can’t answer why 
(I’m not a gangster) 
But I can tell you how 
(I’m not a flam star) 
We were born upside-down 
(I’m a star star) 
Born the wrong way ‘round 
(I’m not a white star) 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m not a gangster 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a blackstarI’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star 
I’m a blackstar 
I’m a blackstar 
​ 

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle 
At the centre of it all 
your eyes 


On the day of execution 
only women kneel and smile

At the centre of it all 
your eyes 

your eyes

Patti Smith "The Histories of the Universe" (1975)

Palindrome Hunches, the follow-up to Halstead’s acclaimed sophomore solo effort Oh! Mighty Engine finds the Cornwall, England-based musician continuing to craft moody and endlessly mesmerizing folk-infused songs. This time around, Halstead teamed up with producer Nick Holton and members of Wallingford’s Band of Hope (including Ben Smith on violin, Drew Milloy on double bass, Paul Whitty on piano, and Tom Crook on guitar) to achieve a sound that’s both remarkably rich and piercingly intimate.
