The Money Shadow Song

 

MONEY001

 I might be starting a new album, in parallel with the possession album. This is the second in a series of songs where I give voice to my shadow (a Jungian archetype that encompasses the parts of the psyche that the person disowns). I have a complex relationship to money. I think lots of people do, and I'm one of them. I'm going to leave it to the listener to decide which parts of the song are my shadow and which parts are my conscious position. (In other words, the singing is one part, and the rapping is another part). 

That part of putting us both together pertains to the Transcendent Function in Jungian theory. Or at least I think it does. It's sort of like you build a bridge between these two archetypes that seem at odds with each other. It creates something that transcends both, as in the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.(If there're any Jungians out there who think I got this wrong, please let me know!)

The lyrics are:
I am poor, and I am stupid
Closing doors sing like soup kitchens

I cannot run a business

Smoking pot, I failed my piss test

 I am the lady that makes people pay me

Money, all over me feels like it's raining

And I don't care if they get poor

Money's the thing that I most adore

I don't care if everyone

Is poor with their lives undone

They're sore, from not having fun

I'm bored: they are not my problem

Can we put us both together?

As usual, here's the other player-thingy just in case the one up top doesn't work on your portable electronic device:
