Everyone – An Afternoon at the Museum

Paulo Furtado, The Legendary Tigerman

 

 

It’s all about me being myself, me being who I am
Everyone wakes up in the morning saying they feel full of love
I wake up in the morning feeling full of shit
I’m not a good person
I don’t call my mother everyday
I don’t have a god
I eat meat
I don’t smile to strangers in the street
So there’s no hope for me
I am the one picking the eye of the self assured
Of the blinded by love
Of the no guilt no shame passerby
The severe reminder of the importance of self-doubt
The reminder of thoughts to keep you up at night
Everyone
Everyone wants to be
Everyone

Everyone – An Afternoon at the Museum was a live performance by Paulo Furtado, The Legendary Tigerman, as he’s releasing his new album ZEITGEIST, at MAAT Central, 27/11/2023. The happening included the presentation of Everyone, a short Super 8 film directed by Paulo Furtado, The Legendary Tigerman, in Paris, featuring a special guest appearance by Jehnny Beth.
Everyone follows the words of Jehnny Beth through the lonely night at Le 104 (Le Cent Quatre – a cultural centre in Paris), and the eternal parade of dinosaur skeletons, whales, and other animals, most of them extinct, from the Natural History Museum in Paris.
