I'm a converted hater. I think i didn't like the new album because it just seemed TOO different, but when you put aside his earlier work, songs like this stand up just as tall as anything he's done. The comparisons to Eno are definitely justified.

Thanks for the reference to the Gurdjieff work Circadian.

'Life is real only then when "I am"' is a work by a 20th century mystic, G. I. Gurdjieff, generally considered to be the most complete espousal of his ideas. The repetition of "I am" in the final line of the second verse both completes the title of Gurdjieff's work and allows for the addition of "I am surprised". Thus it possesses the potential for two subtly different ideas: either Cooper is suggesting that life is only real when he becomes truly self-aware (a key teaching of Gurdjieff) , and this surprises him, or that life is only real when he is surprised. Of course, it could also he is surprised by the realisation that life is only real when he is surprised, but then that'd just be ridiculous.

Ok, a couple of spots were iffy, but for the most part this is fairly accurate: // How does the motion make me last / I shuffle forward and (I'm or not) back / I can be questioning my thoughts / But not looking for what I lack / What is it that has my mind so hypnotized / When shapes are for looking at / And their colors create my mood / I'm a vessel between two places I've never been / To seek a further form of design / Creation as a pathogen / What's more than subtle in ___ ___ (these times?) / I know you're looking forward to them / What is it that has my mind so hypnotized / Evolving on a thought that you've half realized / Life is real only then when i am surprised (? tough line) / Shapes are for looking at / And their colors create my mood / I'm a vessel between two places I've never been. //

Great stuff - yeah, a lot of parallels with Peter Broderick, but my instant thought was to rewind 23 years to Pieter Nooten & Michael Brook's 'Sleeps With The Fishes', which Eno may have had a hand in :)

Reminds me of another great musician from Portland, Peter Broderick.

When I heard the new album was going to feature vocals and percussion I was skeptical, but this song erases any doubts I had. This song is beautiful, reminds me so much of Eno.
