The Lunatics: Oh Lord, Why Lord (Teo)

Though I’ve owned this record for years, it remains as profoundly affecting as the first time I heard it, one of those songs I turn to in dark times… The band, from Trinidad, has two other 45s, which nobody I know has ever seen or heard.

I’ve searched the sky
To find the reason why
(oh lord, why lord)

The color of my skin
Is said to be an awful sin
(oh lord, why lord)

I am so proud and honored to be singing in a band with the original singer of this song. He was just a kid when he sung this, he’s much older now, and he still sounds fantanstic and he’s rockin’ the Port City!
