Origami (Anyway You Fold Me)
Again a recording that I need to get familiar with hearing it online, also for repairs and who knows alternative version. Seems I’m a bit undecided these days… Working on it.
Note: Jules (lyrics) and me (music), we both still do not know what the song is about… As I understand it the lyric was written at work/the office – to ventilate frustration I guess. Does give meaning to song, must say. But without this knowledge, it’s the listener who decides what’s in it for him/her, the Bob Dylan way.
Song by Julian Wilson & Johnny Hoeve
STYLE: classic, singer songwriter, AC
You can make your assumptions
And your paper darts
And throw them down the office at me
You can fall on your knees
In an act of contrition
But I know it’s not somethin’ you mean
You can take your permissions
And your phantom needs
Forgive me if I fail to accede
As I stare out the window
And watch the leaves fall
I never hear a word that I need
Origami Origami
Why won’t you set me free?
Origami Origami
Anyway you fold me I bleed
Your far too close to me
To open your eyes and see
I know how I feel for you
It’s not how you feel for me
Like Amsterdam With No Canals

We still have to go through some pronunciation issues Jules (Julian Wilson – lyrics) and me, but I decided to put it up anyway. Song took me quite some time to finish must say, and perhaps it’s better to have it online for some time while listening if it should have repairs.
Song started off when I wanted to have something “Amsterdam” (my hometown) in a song. It’s only one line in this song and for now, it’s title. But perhaps the title should be You Are My Compass - which also has a pronunciation issue because of stress on wrong syllable. As a matter of fact there was the idea of filling up whole song with mispronunciations…
More later.
