about

Track #8 from "The Dark Side" of The Dark Becomes The Light by The Cellophane Heart and featuring the authentic thoughts and feelings of my biological mother through the wonderful voice-mails she leaves me.

I've put the lyrics along with this track, just like the rest, even though I certainly didn't write these. This is my life....these are the things I go through on a daily basis. EVERYTHING that this album symbolizes is about the ability to turn the worst situations of your life into something beautiful. We can turn pain into art.

These were the last words my mother ever spoke to me.

lyrics

(from original voice-mails the vagina that birthed me left on my phone)

"I'm trying to locate your grandmother who seems to be lost somewhere in West Vancouver so if you hear from her would you please do the courtesy of giving me a call? Seriously, courtesy Jeremy that's all it is. Thank you."

"Hello Jeremy, it's your mother...you remember me I'm sure. I'm just sitting on my porch in the nice weather, oooh, watching the deer go over to my picnic place. Doing pretty good over here...so I just thought I'd call and say that. Doing just fine thank you very much and...uh...hope you like it! Love ya! Buh-bye!"

"Good heavens Jeremy...you can't answer the phone to say hello?
(heavvvvvvvvvvvy sigh)
It isn't supposed to be this way. So. You can run, you can hide, you can ignore, you can do whatever you want...however...I will be coming to see you in the next couple weeks. And I want you to tell me to my face. Tell me to my face and we're done...ok? I really don't understand what you're doing...but I love you anyway. Bye for now."

"Hello Jeremy, it's your mother...yep, yep...I am STILL your mother. Just...uh...wanting to say hi and I cannot...fathom why you wouldn't want to just say hi. So....ummm....THINK about it. I just want to know if you're happy. Cause I love you. So, if you can manage to do that, that would be appreciated. Thanks so much, buh-bye."

"Ok Jeremy, I give up. I love you."

"Gladstone......mini-Gladstone.....this is Shirley. I understand that you have nothing...nothing of interest for me...and uh...it's gone vice-versa. Honest to God that's something I never thought I'd ever say.

YOU'RE NOT MY SON.

You're Marc's son. And that's unfortunate. So...if your wife doesn't know about your abortions or your mother in law doesn't know about that or whatever else it is that you're trying to hide that you wanna put on me, you go ahead. You own that. I will be there Saturday and I will be picking up my stuff.

And I want you to block my number cause I don't ever, and I mean EVER...want to hear from you again."
