This morning we pointed you in the direction of 30-second samples of The People’s Key. Here’s track five “Haile Selassie” in full. The title’s the name of the the longtime Ethiopian Emperor. Oberst on African history:

Because people like still like his music. you may not like someone like justin bieber, right? but he makes many people happy, so why complain when its better to just ignore.
Why won’t you just go away?
His Greatness Selassie may be gone in physical form, but his spirit lives on!
ha. usually i’m with you, because most of the time he comes off as a jackass. but every once in a while he puts out something pretty good. i like this song, though i didn’t want to.
Now this is the Conor I know and love. I like this quite a bit.
don’t feel like listening to this, someone tell me whether or not its conor oberst doing a reggae song
Good, though it sounds more like an evolution of his Desaparecidos’ days.
I really wish he’s make another Desaparecidos album.
Really interesting departure, although not instantly listenable for me.

album just leaked
Very different, but I think it’s a grower. Also is the album conceptual? There is a constant up bringing of time portals and the future it’s very scifi like.
Who is super curious to know the backstory to this song/lyrics. When and how did Conor get introduced to Selassie?

Because the coolest people I know are musicians, DJs, and music lovers.
