The Great Undressing - Jenny Hval

J: It’s fruit with cake and like, cinnamon, it’s very fruity and good

What’s this album about, Jenny?

J: It’s about vampires

No?

J: Yeah

What?

J: Well, it’s about more things than that but, a large theme of it-

That is so basic, it’s about vampires

J: It’s about blood-

Like capitalism

It works like unrequited love that way

It never rests

Just like I need the love I’m not getting from you

And all the people in the world

Are in-between you and I in that way

And in the way of love

You must be disgusted

But I need to keep writing because everything else is death

I’m self-sufficient, mad, endlessly producing

I don’t need money, I just need your love

Or your approval, anything

Like capitalism

It works like unrequited love that way

It never rests

Just like I need the love I’m not getting from you

And all the people in the world

Are in-between you and I in that way

And in the way of love

Any sign is a promise of love, of being exposed

A staged ritual undressing taking a place of consummation

I’m here writing, working, making myself

Available for love

Making myself available for love

Because I love you

Because I love you

Because I love you

I just need a sign

Any recognition is a reward

Because I love you
