Black Francis has said he was inspired by Chuck Berry's \"Memphis, Tennessee,\" but he meant the other Memphis: the ancient Egyptian city. The \"letter\" in the song is a message to a lover's past life thousands of years ago, based on an inside joke he had with his then-girlfriend that she had been Cleopatra. Released September 1991, this is the Pixies' fourth and final original-era album.\n\nhttps://music.fandom.com/wiki/Letter_To_Memphis:Pixies\nhttps://www.pixiesmusic.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
