Was That Really Me that you saw there, Do you Remember Where, And was it the me that you knew it to be Out in the open Air Was That Really Me that you saw then, Do you Remember When And was it the me that you hoped it would be, Or Someone Else Instead. Let's Get On it, Let's Get On It. Was That Really Me that you saw there, Do you Remember Where, And was it the me that you knew it to be Standing Way Out There. Was That Really Me that you saw then, Do you Remember When And was it the me that you knew it to be, Or Someone Else Instead. Let's Get On it, Let's Get On It.

Is it really such a surprise It comes back to me at times, Amid the sputtered start of a railroad nap, A fractal we two side by side. Is it really such a surprise, Comes back to me in threes, As within the matryoshka spider's tapestry A polygonal mesh rabbit jelly mould. Into the hyperuranion, Perhaps there we'll both belong, And we're sure to find, Our own Empyrean. Is it really such a surprise, Comes over me like waves, A mascaret through a curb-side puddle of spacetime, Our placement in the cosmara. It isn't really such a surprise, I see it clear in your eyes, As within the male mantis' phantasy, I see no real explaination for it. Into the hyperuranion, Perhaps there we'll both belong, And we're sure to find, Our own Empyrean.

Well it's taken time but I guess I've learned, Every once in a while gonna get my head turned But then, seamlessly, I get over it immediately. Every time A hellhound on my trail, Digging up the ground like he wants to play Just lately it seems to be, He ain't even a ha-ha-has been. Because I know what I got and I know just what, it means to me. I've got everything I need You'll see. Every Goddamn time yes I guess I've learned, Every once in a while gonna get my head turned But then it's a sweet relief that I get over it ASAP. Every time A hellhound on my trail, Digging up the ground like he wants to play Just lately it seems to be, He ain't even a ha-ha-has been. Because I know what I got and I know just what, it means to me. I've got everything You See I've got Everything that I need, I've got Everything Saw It in my mind before I, Saw it as an actual thing. Ive got Everything that I need I've got Everything I've got Everything I Win

SOMEWHERE THERE IS A FIELD Ain't it just the way You've got nothing to say. I'll be leaving now I'll remember y'all in therapy As a sunk-cost fallacy And life as a cold hard answer But somewhere there is a Field beyond right doing and wrong doing And if you care to I'll meet you there Where this won't matter so much Ain't it always the way Nothing left to say Why be a window When you can be a window Either way It's a clotheslining universe Let's hope that it don't last much longer But Somewhere there is a Field Beyond Right doing And wrong doing There's a world out there Buck up your ideas Not that they matter so much so much Not that the matter so Much Cause somewhere there is a Field beyond right doing and wrong doing And if you care to I'll meet you there Where it don't matter so much.

I can't pretend that, I haven't noticed And it don't seem so hard now to show it It's not surprising at all that we are in love. And now we're there we'll get too it who would have thunk and who would have knew it There's no mistaking at all that we're in love and we go on forever Together in love :ll And every where We get noticed and even though it sails way aboves us As I'm all yours So come on and take me Both are neither the John nor Jill come latelies And we don't need No one's pardom It feels like Rashid ad-Din Sinan back garden

Exposition:

The Language of Birds: 2.5.
Marc Lee's second album "Um..." is themed around qabalistic emanations and the tree of life. This album elicits themes of modernity and post-modernity; of present time and timelessness; of infinity and infinities; alephs and Achilles; Sephiroth and Qlippoth; dimensionality and metadimensionality; the Sphinx and Humpty Dumpty; science and magick; of adulthood and experience; maturity and middle age, of duality and neutrality: the commotion of City and Metropolis and the fuzz and hum of the technological and industrial age; the 20th century and the present day. Combining sounds both natural and mechanical, precise and fragmentary, field and studio; determined and aleatoric; the yins and yangs of musical composition. Marc makes use of studio noises, field recordings, solfeggio tones, riddles, cultural reference, gong baths, philosophy, the tree of life and the avant-garde and presented in a series of respective path-working excursions disguised as songs. This is the second instalment in a trilogy of records beginning with "Né" and culminating with "Qi". This album has a neutral non-polarity.
