A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Salome - Old 97's (1997) Remastered Audio & 1080p HD Video



Published on Apr 30, 2014
"Salome" was released on Old 97's third studio album, Too Far To Care, in the summer of 1997.

I'm a huge fan of Old 97's and this album in particular, this is my second video for a track from it, the first being "Broadway" (which I uploaded in October of 2012 and mentioned that I hoped "Salome" would be my next as it's maybe my favorite track from an album filled with favorites (love the lyrics and the unusual arrangement....wow, didn't think it would be almost 2 years!)

Came across this old footage clip a while back and immediately thought that it would fit perfectly with "Salome"...didn't spend much time on it...just wanted to let that headless lady find the groove a bit! :-) It also includes clips from the 1923 silent film...a strange thing in it's own right (I wanted to use more of it....but then there wouldn't have been enough headless dancing! LOL!)

Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for checking it out!

As usual HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art made this new art possible...THANK YOU!!!

[Lyrics]
Salome, uncross your heart.
I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts.
Well I'll stay all night, I'll wait right here.
The full moon might work magic girl, but I won't disappear.

CHORUS:
And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

Salome, untie my hands.
Well I'll find another lady, and you'll wreck another man.
It's over now, yeah and so are we.
My blood's turned to dirt girl, you broke every part of me.

And I'm tired of making friends, and I'm tired of making time,
And I'm sick to death of love, and I'm sick to death of trying.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.
And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you.

(repeat chorus)
