Product Details


Product Description

Girl goes to fairground. Girl meets Armenian man. Armenian man gives girl doll. Girl flies around and encounters many angry people. Girl jumps naked into lake. Doll pulls girl beneath surface of water, drowning her. And so the thread of yet another human existence is cut short by the scissors of badness.

Esther made its live debut relatively late compared to its Junta compatriots, first appearing on 9/12/88. Even then, it featured decidedly less macabre lyrics than the version that ended up on Junta. These original lyrics, aside from containing various differences of detail (a hot summer night, a wrinkled old man), feature a story that takes on a just desserts theme, rather than the wonderfully demented ruination of an innocent theme that the final draft lyrics eventually offered. These darker, more familiar lyrics that most fans are used to first appeared at the songs second appearance, on 2/7/89.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
