Dominated by dark matter, massive cluster of galaxies Abell 2744 is known to some as Pandora’s Cluster. It lies 3.5 billion light-years away toward the constellation Sculptor. Using the galaxy cluster’s enormous mass as a gravitational lens to warp spacetime and magnify even more distant objects directly behind it, astronomers have found a background galaxy, UHZ1, at a remarkable redshift of Z=10.1. That puts UHZ1 far beyond Abell 2744, at a distance of 13.2 billion light-years, seen when our universe was about 3 percent of its current age. UHZ1 is identified in the insets of this composited image combining X-rays (purple hues) from the spacebased Chandra X-ray Observatory and infrared light from the James Webb Space Telescope. The X-ray emission from UHZ1 detected in the Chandra data is the telltale signature of a growing supermassive black hole at the center of the ultra high redshift galaxy. That makes UHZ1’s growing black hole the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays, a result that now hints at how and when the first supermassive black holes in the universe formed. via NASA https://ift.tt/NBMV8hI

“Head Like A Hole” Lyrics
God money I’ll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don’t want everything he wants it all.
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
God money’s not looking for the cure.
God money’s not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money let’s go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money’s not one to choose
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Goodbye Horses – Q Lazzarus
This is the original cover sleeve of the ‘Goodbye Horses’ single, so people can see that it is a woman singing. The picture is of Q Lazzarus. I too, initially thought it was a man singing, but knowing that it is not, does not detract from the fact that the song is amazing and powerful. The song lyrics and composition by William Garvey (who died in 2009) and sung by Q Lazzarus.
Actual lyrics are :-
GOODBYE HORSES
He told me, “I’ve seen it rise,
But, it always falls.
I’ve seen ’em come, I’ve seen ’em go.”
He said, “All things pass into the night.”
And I said, “Oh no sir, I must say you’re wrong,
I must disagree, Oh no sir, I must say you’re wrong,
Won’t you listen to me?”
He told me, “I’ve seen it all before,
I’ve been there, I’ve seen my hopes and dreams
lying on the ground.
I’ve seen the sky, just begin to fall.”
He said, “All things pass into the night”
And I said, “Oh no sir, I must say you’re wrong,
I must disagree, Oh no sir, I must say you’re wrong,
Won’t you listen to me.”
Goodbye horses, I’m flying over you.
Goodbye horses, I’m flying over you.
—You can check this, by going to William Garvey’s website. https://ift.tt/38fYj7i
It’s a woman singing about a man (sung in past tense), and what he’s telling her is all very negative, to which she disagrees. It’s pretty simplistic in it’s verses. The ‘Goodbye Horses’ lyric is clearly a metaphor. There are no horses in the song.
Basically, it’s the mind we’re talking about here. ‘Goodbye Horses’ is saying goodbye to the mind. So it could just be Death on the whole. I believe Garvey intended the song to be quite uplifting, however, he didn’t have control over Q Lazzarus’ voice. But as with any song, it’s all down to interpretation (well, unless the singer says otherwise and screws that up)
A lot of people say ‘Goodbye Horses’ is about drugs, namely, cocaine. But there isn’t really any indication to that. On the flipside to the ‘Goodbye Horses’ vinyl, is a song called ‘White Lines’, which could easily be misconstrued as being about cocaine, but the lyric within the song goes ‘White lines over the ocean’. But even if the song is a reference to cocaine, it does not mean that ‘Goodbye Horses’ is.
‘Goodbye Horses’ was not written for the movie ‘The Silence Of The Lambs (1991 Jonathan Demme)’. The song was written and released in 1988, a month after the book (by Thomas Harris) was released. The song appeared in ‘Married To The Mob’ (another Demme movie) which was released in theatres across America a month after the books release, thus making it impossible.
Unfortunately Q Lazzarus only made a few songs and they are very hard to come by:-
‘The Candle Goes Away’, which featured in the 1986 movie ‘Something Wild’ staring Melanie Griffith, i believe (another Demme movie) .
‘White Lines’ which appeared on the flipside to the ‘Goodbye Horses’ vinyl.
‘Heaven’ (a cover of ‘The Talking Heads’) which appeared in the film ‘Philadelphia’ (yet another Demme movie), which you can see a clip of (on YouTube) under the title.. ‘Soul Song In The End Of The Party’, you even see Q herself, seemingly wearing the same jacket as on the Goodbye Horses cover sleeve, and wearing a hat. Unfortunately the song seems to be an in-movie song, and thus not a proper recording.
Also, Q Lazzarus wrote and composed music, alongside Danny Z, for a movie named ‘Twisted’ by director Seth Michael Donsky released in 1996. I read a review of the film by someone, who said ‘that the movie should of just been a 2 hour MTV music video, which could mean (not certain) that Q lazzarus sings some other songs…here’s hoping.

White House: Israel agrees to ‘pauses’ in Gaza fighting | DW News
The White House says Israel has agreed to begin daily four-hour “pauses” of military operations in northern Gaza. The pauses would allow people to flee northern Gaza and get out of harm’s way. Meanwhile, Israeli and US spy chiefs have met with the Qatari prime minister in Doha for talks on the parameters of a deal for hostage releases.
