about

Alfred Jarry (France, 1873-1907).

Alfred Jarry (1873-1907), like Charles Baudelaire and several other key artists (see Track 5) is widely considered to be one of the key ancestors of dada and surrealism. Jarry is best known for his play Ubu Roi, a satire on greed and power, and for his invention of the “discipline” of pataphysics. If physics deals with the concrete world around us, and metaphysics deals with things that are real but difficult to apprehend, pataphysics refers to the science of the purely imaginary—although its relation to science is likewise imaginary.

In this song Jarry’s most notorious creation, Ubu Roi, bids farewell, ending the album. He may be spouting nonsense, but along the way he insists, without compromise, on his liberty. “I am unbroken, I am free.”

lyrics

I am fiction, I am thee.
I am fiction, I am free.

I am fiction, I am free.
It must be: beauty and perfection
It must be: endless variety
It must be: richness and
richness and
richness and splendor.

I am unbroken
And free.
