Moonglow/This Bitter Earth is a 7" by Aaron Funk a.k.a. Venetian Snares, released in 2004 on Addict Records. It carries on from his EP Badminton (also a 7" record), in that it features jazz music, cut up to fit strange time signatures and fast programming.
The track "Moonglow" samples the 1962 Dinah Washington cover of Glenn Miller's song "A Handful of Stars". "This Bitter Earth" features samples from the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands, as well as the Dinah Washington song of same name.
"Moonglow" is in Venetian Snares' usual 7/4 time signature, whilst "This Bitter Earth" is in 10/4 time.
Famous quotes containing the words bitter and/or earth:
“Being mocked by Guido for his lecherous life,
Derided and deriding, driven out
To climb that stair and eat that bitter bread,
He found the unpersuadable justice, he found
The most exalted lady loved by a man.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.
