Isadora Duncan Run Time: 4:37
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1998
i have a friend knew isadora duncan
yeah she wore her scarves too long hit the gas a bit too strong
she lost her head still she saw the glory
or so goes the story hope she was not wrong
she waits underneath electricity
what does she touch what does she see
isadora duncan so free isadora
she is leaping she is spinning with some urgency fantastic
outspoken she is choking as she veers into heavy traffic
were you listening to the angels between the lines of your symphony
dancing under cobalt blue skies morning star free
you taught me well loved me even better
prayed over my fields when they were cold and barren
yeah you held the truth from an austere trailer
shoring up my failure i was long past caring
Did You Know?
An enduring influence on 20th century culture, Isadora Duncan revolutionized the art of the dance. Known as a free thinker, Isadora had "radical" ideas about many aspects of life, beyond dance. She lived a very tragic life, losing her kids before they were six in car accidents. She died in a strange case of strangulation in another car accident in 1927. She supposedly said, as her neck was broken by an intertwined scarf: "I see the Glory!" This song was very nearly left out of the final line-up of To the Roof of the Sky.
