Yoko Kanno - The Realk Folk Blues

I'm gonna be a bit unorthodox about this one... most likely not for the last time:) Here's a song that I absolutely adore since the day I first came to listen to it, created by the prolific Japanese composer and instrumentalist Yoko Kanno and voiced by Mai Yamane. Mrs. Kanno is rather known for her work on anime soundtracks and I dare say she is always reinventing herself, coming up with always new approaches to music. This particular song comes from the OST of an anime called Cowboy Bebop, a rather dark space western with a brilliant soundtrack that I would recommend any day, with its mixture of blues and jazz. The anime itself is also worth watching, the way story, music and characters come together is superb.
Here the lyrics with an English translation:
