I SUFFER THEREFORE I AM

Here is a live music video that I've done, of electro spoken-word French band d.e.v.i.a.n.c.e., performing  "Doloroso Ergo Sum" (I Suffer Therefore I am), a song composed and written by So. Noël, about the pain caused by multiple sclerosis. Enjoy...

Frédérc Ambroisine (Nov. 17th, 2008)DOLOROSO ERGO SUM (JE SOUFFRE DONC JE SUIS)Confutatis, maledictis, flamis acribus addictis

Dull but ever present, the pain

Cruel, latent, crippling

It determines every moment, every motion

With difficulty

And it hurts

Doloroso Ergo Sum

Confutatis, maledictis, flamis acribus addictis

Distorted, my sore backbone

My soul weeps over my weakened body

A shiver cracks my young marrow

Such an inauspicious fracture...

And it hurts

Doloroso Ergo Sum

Nervous system – bundle of nerves

Please cut and saw if necessary

Switch off this fatal and never ending current

Isolate my spinal column from this receptacle

I feel heavy, my members are numb

My ego is dying, my clay is wilting

As a sad larva

I stumble on

And it hurts.
