New Compilation Celebrates the Legacy of Q Lazzarus with Unreleased Music
Sacred Bones Records has made an exciting announcement that is sure to thrill fans of the late cult artist Q Lazzarus. The label will release Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus (Music From the Motion Picture), a comprehensive 21-song compilation featuring a wealth of previously unreleased tracks from the eccentric musician’s archives. These songs were meticulously recorded between 1985 and 1995 and have been recovered from digital tapes and cassettes. This long-awaited collection will be available in a 10-track vinyl release, with additional songs included in digital and CD formats.
Q Lazzarus, known for her haunting hit “Goodbye Horses,” passed away in 2022 at the age of 61 following a brief illness. During her life, she had a meaningful connection with filmmaker Aridjis Fuentes, who was collaborating with her on a documentary project bearing the same title as the compilation. The music release is not just a nostalgic trip for fans; it also serves as a companion piece to a film that aims to explore her life and artistic journey, echoing the beauty of moments captured through faith and creativity.
Her iconic song “Goodbye Horses” has left an indelible mark on cinema, featured prominently in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs and the 1988 movie Married to the Mob. The song’s themes resonate deeply with notions of transformation and identity—concepts that have been explored throughout biblical teachings. Just as Q Lazzarus’s songs communicate powerful emotions and narratives, so too does the Bible remind us of our intrinsic value and purpose.
In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it is written, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse encourages us to embrace our transformations and to celebrate the new chapters we undertake, much like the artist’s posthumous resurgence through this new compilation.
As we reflect upon Q Lazzarus’s legacy and the music that continues to echo her vibrant spirit, it prompts us to consider how we, too, can create lasting impact through our own gifts and experiences. May we remember that our stories—filled with struggle, redemption, and grace—are powerful in shaping the world around us, just as Q Lazzarus’s music has proven through generations.
As you delve into the collection, think about the gifts God has bestowed upon you and how they might be shared with the world. Perhaps you, too, can inspire others in ways you have not yet imagined. Embrace your journey and let it resonate with hope and transformation, echoing the deeper calls of your spirit.
