Bernadette Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ultranaut 

Cover art for Bernadette lyrics by IAMX

I don't know if Bernadette is a real woman but I suspect not. I think the carnivalesque swirl of this song is intended to convey her illusory status. She's the dreamgirl Chris hopes will make him whole, an imaginary being in the unhinged circus of these volatile times. Or, Chris Corner's ideal bearded lady. With her comes a new history of perpetual "nowness"; freedom and the abolition of his own loneliness through their shared loneliness. "Together as one, against all others"

Ultranaut I would say how it really is.

IAMX member Janine Gezang is Chris Corners love and her real name is Bernadette. Look closer and see their insane connection, it's obvious and it's so beautiful.

That is quite wonderful then, I am happy Chris found someone real who can inspire him to create such incredible music!
