Magnetic Fields - I Don't Really Love You (Cambridge 04)

I Don't Really Love You Anymore, Cambridge Corn Exchange, Oct 2004

True, I'd give my right arm
To keep you safe from harm
And true, for you, I'd move to Ecuador
And I'd keep a little farm
Chop wood to keep you warm
But I don't really love you anymore
I don't have to love you now if I don't wish to
I won't see you anyhow if that's an issue
Because I am a gentleman
Think of me as just your fan
Who remembers every dress you ever wore.
Just the bad comedian
Your new boyfriend's better than
'Cos I don't really love you anymore.
There'll be someday when your eyes do not enthrall me,
I'll be numb but realize you'll never call me.
'Cos I've read your horoscope
And now I've given up all hope
So I don't really love you anymore
'Cos I've read your horoscope
And now I've given up all hope
So I don't really love you anymore.

I think everyone sounds raw and beautiful here. This clearly tops the original song - taking it down to strings only was an awesome idea. The tone of the vocals are also different here and just have an all around melodic sadness to them.

This is the definitive song for anyone who just can't get over the person they lost.

Man, I really love the original, but I'd kill to have this version. I'm not going to say one's better or worse - but I really, really, love this one. I wish Merritt'd put out an bare-bones acoustic album. Sometimes I think his great melodies are lost under layers of sound.

I've made an mp3 from this video if you, or anyone else wants it. Just send me a message with an email address to send the mp3 to. This is not a scam or spam; just passing along an amazing version of one of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite bands.

[alex1x1x]

@delightfulcreature oh yes, best idea ever!!!

[PeteFromAR]

It looks and sounds like a banjo to me. Great video, I'd love to see them live someday!

[moonflood]

For real if anyone has an mp3 of this performance or one from that tour, say your piece.

[ArthurEricBlair]
