"Lying in bed, you tell me that I’m not your girlfriend. I’m going out of my head…knowing what I could not know then…cause I don’t know what I can take - how far I’ll bend before I’ll break down…and I don’t know, what I should take - how far I’ll bend, before I’ll break down."
— J. Furman, LYRICS (see below for posted video of “Out of My Head”)
I wrote this song years ago while living in NYC, on a little Casio keyboard that I had set up at the foot of my bed. Trying to sort out what my breaking point might just be amidst an on and off again love.
Every time I play this song I’m transported back to my quiet room with a tiny window facing a brick wall, heat pumping so strongly in the dead of winter that my roommates and I had the fans blowing, despite the 20 degree weather outside.
These days, when I see a brick wall…I just might be getting wise enough to let it be a brick wall…
