Mimetic Desire (ft joerxworx) by xian3 published on 2022-07-16T17:01:04Z A big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx for playing nearly all instruments, arranging and mixing, it was a pleasure to collab. Lines in inverted commas quote René Girard (1923 - 2015), also the title of the song points to him. The picture shows a section of a photography showing men at Ascot (taken out of NZZ). Mimetic Desire Man is the creature Man is the creature „Man is the creature Who does not know What to desire, And he turns to others In order to make up his mind.“ (2) Don't let the darkness blind you Don’t let the blindness guide you Even if it is full of shiny, Mimetic desires Maybe there is still A shadow of a hope out there Isn’t there still somewhere A shadow of a hope ? Let me have it, let me, let me have it Let me have it, let me, let me have it Don't let the darkness blind you Don’t let the blindness guide you Even if it is full of shiny, Sparkling, mimetic desires „We desire What others desire Because we imitate Their desires." Maybe there is still A shadow of a hope out there Isn’t there still somewhere hanging out A shadow of a hope ? Man is the creature… Man is the creature… Don't let the darkness blind you Don't let the blindness guide you Don’t let the darkness blind you… Genre Indie Comment by rosin dust I really liked the concept of this song. Unusual intriguing sound - harmonies, vocals, lyrics- all.. 2024-02-03T05:09:54Z Comment by Denys Swyfer Superbe ! 2023-03-31T13:19:37Z Comment by Witches of the Alamo Like the last comment said this sounds like a great lost INXS track. Phenomenal work. 2023-03-16T00:48:11Z Comment by Jeremy Brizzi Sooooo, i would, oddly enough, put you somewhere between INXS, Nick Cave, and Jesus Lizard, and thats not just me bragging about my musical sensibilities-keep doing your thing - oooh, and the Jazz Flute just hit.
