Jim O'Rourke || "Therefore I Am"

Me, I'm getting better every day
That's what I said
Don't believe what you've heard

It's not like I want to be king
But I can't help myself
It's just that I am

Sorry, but I found someone new
To spend time
Instead on you, I spend it with me

You see, I've been around the world
I've seen so many things
Why am I talking to you?

Why do you hide, behind, somebody else
There's one too many, in this room, and I think it's you

As you can see, I'm a happy guy
Don't need nothin' to get me down
'Cause I'll always have you

We are, are on a sinking ship
But I'd like to stay on board
And shoot the cannons at you

Why do you hide, behind, somebody else
There's one too many, in this room, and I think it's you

Therefore, I Am lyrics © Field Code Music

bits from some Fav songs ...

Nothing makes me want to disappear
As when someone opens their mouth


I’m hoping if I blink 
I don’t wake up here


If I seem a bit remote
You’ll feel better if you say I’m a misanthrope
Or whatever floats your boat
As for me, I’d rather sink my own


Even though I’m here, you should feel all alone
Maybe the point of this you’ve just outgrown
There are names for me that are better known
Just draw a line and I’ll add my own

Jim O'Rourke || Happy Days

’Cause I’ll always have you

…


We are, are on a sinking ship

But I’d like to stay on board 

And shoot the cannons at you



Why do you hide, behind, somebody else

There’s one too many, in this room, and I think it’s you

Jim O'Rourke || Therefore, I Am

Jim O'Rourke | Rafael Toral || Two Masters

Recorded at Steamroom Chicago.
Jim O' Rourke - modular synthesizer
Rafael Toral - electronic feedback circuit

• Rafael toral

Liveloop is the forerunner of Cyclorama Lift - an empty feedback loop with electronics in between - but it sounds way more agressive. It was actually the first time i found a way to bypass the guitar. It started by, at the end of a show, unplugging the guitar from the effects and routing their output back into their input...

… Having My Worst Week In Ages Still, Hope It Does Not Extend To A Month ••• My Insignificance

Don’t believe a word I say 

Not that you would anyway 

I may be insincere 

But it’s all downhill from here 




If I seem a bit remote
You’ll feel better if you say I’m a misanthrope 

Or whatever floats your boat 

As for me, I’d rather sink my own 




Even though I’m here, you should feel all alone 

Maybe the point of this you’ve just outgrown 

There are names for me that are better known 

Just draw a line and I’ll add my own

… Having My Worst Week In Ages Still, Hope It Does Not Extend To A Month ••• Pride

There’s that word again
Pride
Do you pride yourself on being
Polite?

Do you feel pride when you’re alone?



Does the mirror say good day, today?

Does your family make you feel pride?

Do the pictures keep you warm?

                    
Is your smile so easily worn?
                    Worn away


Do you feel proud?

                               Jim O’Rourke
