The Golden Palominos - "Victim"

The Golden Palominos enlisted New York Spoken-word artist Nicole Blackman for their 1996 album 'Dead Inside' and the result was something quite different to their previous albums. The opening track "Victim" is the most powerful song I play on Bitter FM... not in terms of the volume but in terms of the poetry/lyrics. This is a chilling first person account from a victim of an abduction. I could go on forever with adjectives like 'harrowing' or 'disturbing' but it's much better to let the song do the talking. One thing is guaranteed - you will be moved.
