Description
the benefactor
A memoir for a life which may never have happened, The Benefactor looks back, squinting at that point in the distance where memory blurs into fantasy. Like the Susan Sontag novel after which it is named, the song is all style; a fluttering backdrop for the delivery of wry aphorisms on art and biography (‘metaphors lie’) and the selfishness of desire (‘my feelings for you are real, but at the same time they are all about moi et moi et moi’). To apply your dreams to your life might seem like an ideal, even the epitome of artistic ambition, or it may just be the prison of ego in which we all live.
Released on the following formats:
Digitally on all major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).

I want to hear you
soft and loud
be your many lovers
the kind of life
you have led for me
is like a
magic mountain
against these
interprets
philologic
imagestrates
funky fuck!
…
all style
& no substance
My feelings for you are real
but in a way
they are about
moi et moi et moi
Many aperçus and one-lines
make you the greatest
of all time
Apply dreams
to your one and only life
you will see
that metaphors lie
and that many orgasms
give you more time
Gorgeous mistress
it is evident
my Jewish diva
no romance
just flights
of fanciful glance
My feelings for you are real
but in a way
they are about
moi et moi et moi
Many aperçus and one-lines
I benefit from you all time
Apply dreams
to your one and only life
you will see that metaphors lie
and dance and music
give you more time
