IS MUSIC THE BEST?

Wake up! That song was already part of my opening post!

In a subjunctive frame of mind, music is best for me because it allows me to experience an emotional intensity that, in some respects, is greater than the emotions I feel in regard to the experiences I have ā€œin realityā€.

And that is because ā€œin realityā€ [often enough] as soon as I feel something, something else will happen that prompts me to question what I feel, to think about it, to doubt it.

With music the intense feelings can be sustained simply by listening to the music itself.

Or, as Emil Cioran once put it:

ā€œIf everything is a lie, is illusory, then music itself is a lie, but the superb lie…As long as you listen to it, you have the feeling that it is the whole universe, that everything ceases to exist, there is only music. But then when you stop listening, you fall back into time and wonder, ā€˜well, what is it? What state was I in?’ You had felt it was everything, and then it all disappeared.ā€

(the general structure of these parts has been figured out but I’m missing a lot of nuance, of course)

My band is doing a concert tonight in my room, and there’s no cover charge if you guys wanna check it out. I’m playing guitar on Killing In The Name Of this time, though. This is a dropped D tuning.

Come wit it now!

Yo delete that, mods… i re-uploaded and the link is bad…

Gong jam!

… he can read your mind backwards
If you try to do the cat in
You can only be a loser
Paranoia never touch him
He’s got ways of laughter
Baby don’t you bring yourself down
Got to catch you up later
If you want to know about love
You can ask the wee geezer
He can teach you telepathy
He can read your mind backwards
If you try to do the cat in
You can only be a loser
Paranoia never touch him
He’s got ways of laughter
Baby don’t you bring yourself down
I’ll catch you up later
Give him a bit of your love you get it back later…

…

What are we gonna do then? Eat that phone book.

My recent shot at a section of it. I’m missing double snare notes in there, though. You don’t know it, but i do, so I’m obligated to tell you (the Bard’s code of ethics). When i get the snare notation right, i shall proceed with further sections.
