I woke up in the middle of the night, tonight (proving Kyri right that it was a bad idea for me to go to sleep in the afternoon, but I was sooo exhausted I just couldn’t stay awake any longer, so my sleep schedule is now fixed a little bit) and one of the places I check for updates (like comments, etc.) is YouTube (since I do have a minor channel, I’m always hoping that someone will comment on one of my videos), and I noticed under “Recommended” was a song called Kyrie.  I decided “eh, what the heck” and clicked it.  It was trance, which, although is great for dancing, is kind of lame if you’re staring at a computer screen in the middle of the night – then its boring and repetitive.

So, I decided “I wonder if there are other songs called Kyri?  You know, other than that catholic one and that old classical one and this trance one.. there’s probably more.  So I run a YouTube search for Kyri and I find this gem from 1985 titled Kyrie by Mr. Mister.

The song can definitely contain separate meanings if you make “Kyrie, eleison” “Kyriaelison.”
