Artist/Band: Jandek
Lyrics for Song: Humility Of Pain
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Jandek



I know you know the humility of pain

But I must tell you to understand

The personalities of your fellows

As long as you keep your life

You got to know where to go

And where to stay away from

And worry that people are too meek

For you don't think you're so smart

And they're here to test you

It's only a personality

That's different than yours

Just stay out of trouble

That the wrong road or that you bring on yourself

So go to that place

I want to send you there



But I understand that my invitation

Will change your life

It's late in the night

Without electricity day (?)

I've got another place

And soon I might remember

But it's not like I didn't exist

I want you to decide to take the chance

I know you know the humility of pain

Well I must tell you to understand

The personalities of your fellow man

And decide who not to be with


Humility Of Pain

Humility Of Pain stands as a stark example of Jandek's unique contribution to the American folk and experimental landscape. Known for his enigmatic persona and prolific output, Jandek has cultivated a distinct sound characterized by raw vocals and unconventional song structures. This recording captures the melancholic intensity that defines much of his work, blending elements of blues, country, and avant-garde experimentation. The song reflects the artist's broader discography, which often explores themes of isolation and introspection through sparse instrumentation. While specific details regarding its release history may vary, the track remains a compelling song in his extensive catalogue, showcasing the emotional depth and idiosyncratic style that have garnered a dedicated following over the decades.
