For the second year of listening to 4 songs, I do not know why, but my concern for what it is that it is impossible to explain. Sometimes when I listen to these tracks I think of love and sometimes even as it may be simply my thoughts, but they are beautiful. Supporting the people who listen, it may be he gets when playing these tracks is the same pleasure that I am.)

Mind, Melody, Mood and Meaning: An Enquiry into Music

Jun 21 2009, 21h58 por Mobilicorpus
‘Without music, life would be a mistake.’
- Friedrich Nietzsche Well, the old dude knew what he was talking about. Although one may question its truthfulness in these troubled times of the 21st century – when artists like Jonas Brothers have gained an unexpected amount of followers and System of a Down have happily overtaken Led Zeppelin in overall play count - the fact remains that music, as a whole, is such an integral part of our lives, of the mind, of our humanity, that we cannot conceive a world without it. One is compelled to ask why: just what is it about music that makes it so necessary, so natural, that we can’t imagine life without it?

The question is not an easy one to answer, even superficially: nor is it an isolated one, for as soon as you’ve asked it, you’ve asked several other questions as well. How does music transcend the sensory barrier to become what many listeners and composers call a ‘spiritual’ experience? Why does a song you used to listen to as a child bring back memories in all their sharpness, all their vividness – making the experience akin to almost going back in time? Why do some songs make you want to dance, or cry, or, in the case of My Chemical Romance, slash your ears? How are you able to derive comfort and joy from a sad song?

All those questions are Big Ones, indeed (although I am inclined to think that none of them are more mysterious than the question of why Miley Cyrus is listened to by 239,419 people; a mystery far deeper than them all). Ahem, anyway. So, in this particular journal, I shall try expound on and answer them. To be rather straightforward: I should like to tell you beforehand that this is not going to be one of those dreary, dull, impossible-to-understand ‘theses’- you know, the ones in which folks with balding heads and grimy faces express a few simple truths in grandiose terms, with sentence constructions so complicated they are likely to cause you to rupture a blood vessel or two. No, I intend this to be simply a general study into the matter. Although in some parts I express views that are strongly analytical and hence arguable, I should like to state the scientific parts dealing with it document well-researched facts.

I do not proclaim to be any kind of ‘authority’ or ‘expert’ on the subject (I despise those terms). I’m any other average eighteen year old girl and therefore do not assert any authority – I only lay claim to general inquiry and curiosity. So, if you’ve any ideas or views of your own on the subject, whether similar or totally opposite, feel free to discuss them in the comments.

[/end boring preamble]

If you managed to traverse through that and are not already asleep over your keyboard right now, I shall now assume it safe to proceed. I’m gonna divide the study of music into three main categories, mainly:

Psychological – in what ways music influences the brain, how different music manages to invoke emotion from the listener, etc.
Philosophical/Analytical – the need for music, its role in creative self-expression, why it is the most abstract of all arts, etc.
Social –how music influences the society, cultures, the interaction of music with the listener, the Artist vs the Society, the contemporary music scene and the role of technology, etc.

I. Psychological

Hector Berlioz, the famous French composer, once broke down completely during the performance of a Beethoven symphony. He was approached by a fellow-listener, who, seeing Berlioz sobbing uncontrollably, offered consolation: ‘You seem to be greatly affected, Monsieur,’ he remarked gently. ‘Had you not better retire for a while?’ ‘Are you under impression,’ Berlioz snapped, ‘that I am here to enjoy myself?’

Berlioz’s statement challenges our ordinary conception about music. The commonly held view is that music is a means of sensory pleasure: intended to provide you with enjoyment. While this in itself is true to a degree, no doubt, the whole truth consists of something much deeper. Imagine pleasure, imagine enjoyment, imagine satisfaction – imagine all these, experienced at all times, taken in blindly externally, the edges blunted, neutralised, done away with. They dim the feeling, suppress emotion, flatten the experience, defuse the senses. Something taken in purely for the sake of satisfaction has to wear out sometime and indeed, it does gradually.
That is why, the music that endures is the music that invokes a deep emotional response. A response that touches a chord of sympathy within the listener. That said, it does not mean that the response should be sad – it can range from sadness to humour to jealousy to happiness. Happinesss, as opposed to pleasure. Jealousy, anger, sadness and joy are all emotions, and it is these emotions that for the listener make music what it is: it goes beyond the gratification of the senses.

Why Sad Music Makes You Happy, and vice versa

I would now like to touch on a sub-question: Why does sad music make you happy? To answer it, we must first fully understand what the question really implies – and it is not what it seems. I think I had better illustrate this by contrasting examples.

Gary Jules’ cover of Mad World is an excellent case in point. Overall, one would be disposed to call it a pretty depressive song. It is gloomy, brooding, lamenting. My Dying Bride’s For My Fallen Angel , right from the first second, grips you with its opening violin notes and holds you in unimaginable torment and anguish. There are no lyrics – only spoken words come in later in the song, yet from the start, the music itself tends to invoke extreme emotional response in the listener. Further, Keane’s She Has No Time , Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here , Porcupine Tree’s Where We Would Be (that solo!), Muse’s Unintended , Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah , The Beatles’ Yesterday , Beth Gibbon’s Show , Anathema’s One Last Goodbye (okay, enough examples) – all of them serve as ‘sad’ songs. What ‘sad’ here means is, on a superficial level, the lyrics and on the deeper, the underlying element of emotion expressed in the music, in the voice and the notes. Not in words.

It is this inherent sadness, this genuine, unadulterated feeling of the artist that bowls us along into living the song, into experiencing that sadness ourselves. We assume the place of the artist – we are able to place ourselves in the picture. This mutual affinity, this connection born out of the genuine feeling makes the song more real to us, and consequently, a part of us. That is why we are able to derive comfort from sad songs. And that is why it makes us ‘happy’ – but it is a different kind of happiness, which I would be foolish to even begin to describe, for it is a happiness that cannot be expressed in words.

On to the other extreme, I don’t know if there are others who actually feel ‘sad’ over supposed ‘happy’ songs, but I personally do tend to get ‘sad’ over particular songs that are clearly not supposed to be sad. For example, Pink Floyd’s Green Is the Colour , Explosions in the Sky’s Your Hand In Mine , Regina Spektor’s Fidelity , Anathema’s Temporary Peace , Johan Sebastian Bach’s Air , Balmorhea’s Truth , Shubert’s Ave Maria , Buckethead’s For Mom - all of these serve as excellent examples. They do not offer depressive lyrics, they do not contain a sad note. Yet the sadness is there – just beneath the surface. Not in the song itself, but in your response to it.

Beauty is tremulously attached to fragility, and when confronted with true beauty, true art, art that is as close possible to truth as can be – it makes you feel ‘sad’. That is not precisely the right word: because it’s again a different kind of sadness, something that you only experience when you confront that ideal of art, beauty. The kind that makes you stop dead in your tracks, the one that catches you unawares, the one that holds you, pins you down and simultaneously makes you feel lighter than air, the one that makes you aware of something you knew and yet didn’t realise before. It needn’t be music – it applies to all art – Michelangelo’s Pieta, Vincent Van Gogh’s Lovers, all represent the ideal of that very rare and very wonderful, beauty.

We can now understand why music works in such strange ways. Why art indeed, works in such strange ways. As general, common-sense proposition, happy music tends to make you happy – perfectly logical. Similarly, sad music makes you sad. Again, perfectly logical. But, when the thought, the experience, the emotion are pursued to their depths, to create a musical experience of such intensity, a creation of such artistry, the experience turns around, art reveals itself, the reflection reverses itself to become the real thing, art no more imitates life, art becomes life.

Does Music Determine the Personality, or Does Personality Determine the Music?

The question seems simple enough at first glance: don’t get deceived by it, for it is a curiously cunning one. Consider for one moment, two people, let’s call them….hmm, shall we call them Proton and Electron? (Oh well, in tribute to my love of particles.) Right then, Proton and Electron are both your average teenagers living ordinary lives. Proton is a happy-go-lucky sort, she gets by doing fairly well at school, has enough friends, seems content with her life. Electron is too a person for whom things are average enough, but he feels discontent, unbelonged, betrayed. Nothing seems to satisfy him. The world to him looks like a giant, staged play: full of actors clamouring for roles.

Now, what music are Proton and Electron likely to listen to? At first you may say Proton is likely to listen The Beatles, or U2 or Muse or the like. Electron, you would be inclined to say, is more likely to listen Windir or Slayer or Type O Negative or Chopin. You may be right, but it is just as well that Proton enjoys Slayer or Electron likes The Beatles.

The tastes overlap, do the personalities too?

Now you are in a deadlock; for where do the personalities come in, and where the music? In what way do they respond to each other? The answers to these questions seem elusive because our approach towards them is conventional, limited: we tend to think in genres. Genres do not define everything. Which is not to say they are useless. Genres have their uses, of course.

You can classify sound. Can you classify music?

Not in terms of genres, that’s for sure. Take death metal and take classical – opposite ends of the spectrum, completely different in sound – but in music? Who can tell? Can you say Death’s Open Casket does not express, in its own ways, similar sentiments found in Frederic Chopin’s Funeral March?
Thus, in order to answer this question completely, without ambiguity, we take not only the psychology of the individual, nor only the nature of music – but the interaction of both. Music can make you feel, it can make you happy or it can make you rage. Your brain responds to a particular music in its own ways.
Thus, personality of an individual to an extent determines what music they listen to, and similarly, the music too affects the personality to a certain degree.

Does Music Make You Smarter?

Studies have shown that the human brain responds to a challenging piece of music in the same way as it does to a complex problem in maths or science. The link between mathematics and music has been previously established, of course. It also commonly agreed by educators that abstract concepts such as ratios, fractions, etc become more concrete when applied in their musical contexts.
A commonly observed, and particularly interesting, phenomenon is the Mozart Effect: the discovery suggests that students who listen to Mozart for 10 minutes on a regular basis perform better in spatial-temporal tests.

Among other psychological effects:
- It is proven that people who sing on a regular basis rank higher on the happiness scale.
- In a study of music as a painkiller, people listening to happy music reported 20% less pain than other patients under the same conditions with no music.
- Music is beneficial to people undergoing medical procedures.
- Children taught the piano at the age of six are more likely to witness an increase in their IQ
- It is scientifically proven that music helps patients suffering from stroke recover faster.
The Heavy Metal Connection

Stuart Cadwallader and Professor Jim Campbell of The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth at the University of Warwick came to the conclusion that gifted students who feel the pressure of their ability could be using Heavy Metal music to get rid of negative emotions. The researchers’ conclusion is that the pressures associated with being gifted and talented can be temporarily forgotten with the aid of music.

II. Philosophical

Why Music Exists

Because music has always been around, it is easy underestimate its presence. Just imagine, for one moment, that it did not exist, that folk songs, Pink Floyd, and that annoying ‘HEY HEY, YOU YOU, I DON’T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND’ blasting out of the radio didn’t exist (although you would be grateful for the last one, wouldn’t you?). There would never be a Stairway to Heaven . Nor would anyone sing at weddings and birthdays.

And then, of course, it all begins to look too unreal. Too implausible. Just as well, because as long there is humanity, there will be music. It is curious that the human foetus, at 16 weeks, starts functioning in the auditory system, which is the first of the brain systems to function. Ten weeks later, it has a functioning brain system around it, which means that you are musically receptive long before anything else.
One is led to question, why do we need music? Why this inborn need of a melody? Music, above else, is a manifestation of ideas, a means of self expression, a communication of feeling. Humanity owes its sustenance to these very reasons, and therefore music will always be around.

Music is also our claim to humanity, what connects us with others: a universal channel of empathy. That is true for all art. Every time a person reads a book or picks up a painting or listens to a song, they become a little less lonely.

Why Music Is the Most Abstract of All Arts

Music on its own is the most independent and abstract form of art. Its effects are seen on physical as well psychological levels. It is something that exists separately and independently, for neither does it borrow directly from the material world, nor does it reflect a model in nature. Art on it own is a ‘mirror’ of the world which echoes it depth and its scope, but music is not a reflection, it is the thing itself. – For it is, after all, not a mere imitation of anything in nature.

You can draw a vase or a running stream, or write poems on the most commonplace things but what do you create a melody from? Nothing, it has to come from yourself.

Perhaps the most strange and wonderful thing about music is that it’s going on. It’s happening! It’s right now, it’s unraveling itself every second, it’s never static – always dynamic, forever changing. The very mechanism of music is constituted that way. Because life itself is a flow, music perhaps is the art form truest to life.

‘Becoming One With the Art’ or how the Moonlight Sonata got written

It is a common experience, for any musician – professional or amateur – when they put their fingers to the keys, unaware of what they are going to play one moment, and the next moment, it just comes to the mind. It’s almost as if the melody writes itself on the canvas of silence. As if the instrument plays itself.

Where do we draw the line then, between the Artist, and his or her Art?

One very important, and frequently misunderstood and misrepresented of the whole thing is: Music is identification. Whether as an artist, or as a listener, in response to the notes that flow out of the instrument or the speakers and reach your ears, you place yourself in the picture, you connect with the melody, and thus, as a whole, you identify with the music. You find that something in the song, and that something makes you want to listen to it again and again. You don’t know what it is – you can’t quite put your finger on it, but it’s there.

This means, music exists because the artist, the composition and the listener unite as one to produce the overall musical experience. It is this interaction between the song and the listener that constitutes music. It follows then, that music can be interpreted in different ways by different individuals. Our response to the song varies and that is why each song is special in its own way.

There is an interesting story behind how Beethoven came to write his famous Moonlight Sonata. The story goes that, one late evening, while on his way home, he came across a house from which he could hear some of his compositions being practised. He then overheard a girl’s voice, saying that she wished a real artist would play it.

He went into the house, and noticing that the girl at the piano was blind, offered to play the piece himself. While he played his beautiful music, the moon steadily shone down on the house outside. Beethoven was so inspired, so much ‘into the experience’ of playing the music, he created his Moonlight Sonata on the spot.

III. Social

Legend has it that Napoleon Bonaparte took particular care to see that music played while the troops were preparing for war. He was shrewd enough to realise the effect of music on marching troops: it put them in frenzy, it put a spring in their step, it filled them up with a strange sort of enthusiasm.

The Beatles stopped playing live in ’66 because the noise of the audience was so loud, their excitement so utterly and completely present, that the band couldn’t hear their own instruments over the din.

In their earliest days, Black Sabbath were denounced and feared by the general public: their new style of distorted music and unconventional lyrics horrified and outraged them. People were terrified of them and their music.

Bob Dylan’s songs became the anthems of peace in the 60s and 70s, the protest against the war in Viet Nam was a war on the social front, and it has music at its forefront.

Music is expression of individuality, individuality is originality, originality is resistance. A refusal be brainwashed the conventional modes of thinking, to fit into the mould of the public opinion.

Is There Too Much Music in the World?

Modern technology has given way to cheaper, smaller, and easier modes of creating, listening to, and sharing music.

Artists are in danger of becoming factories. Music is in danger of being made a commodity. Like cereal packets. Manufacture, package, sell.

Sure, there is good music around – some of the best there has been in decades, post-rock, metal, prog rock. But the rising popularity of ‘indie’ rock is a worrying trend.
Music is everywhere. It’s ubiquitous and intrusive. In a world where music exists in all places and at all times, its value gets diminished. Silence becomes costly and is paid for by music, music becomes constrained and is paid for by mediocrity.

Music, Technology and the Future

There are those who argue against digital music, saying that it isn’t ‘real music’. One can understand where that comes from; but then it is rather like asking, should I write with a pen or a pencil, or should I type it? Do I paint in water colours or oil pastels? Instrument is only the means, melody is the manifestation, music is the meaning. In the end, it’s music that matters.

There is a resistance against music piracy: I for one think it’s a lost battle. I think it will only get worse with time.

When you make music, you’re doing something really quite simple: you’re expressing yourself. You have to express it in your own voice so that it’s not lost in the chorus of a billion other voices under the sun. An artist has to place his or her self in the picture, make connections, join the dots.

If you lose these links, you lose everything. Originality stagnates into repetition. Innovation into imitation. Music into noise.

Clive Davis once asked John Lennon what sort of music he was listening to, and was stunned by the Beatle's reply: ‘Nothing.’
‘Nothing?’ Davis replied. ‘Don't you want to know what's being played?’
‘Absolutely not!’ Lennon replied. ‘Did Picasso go to the galleries to see what was being painted?’

So It All Boils Down To…

Listen and let listen. That’s it.

Lyrics...

Jan 12 2009, 1h08 por joewatson406

I'm not normally a lyric type of person. I much prefer to listen to the music. However, there are occasions when I listen to words and think 'Wow', either because the lyrics mean something to me, are so true, or just purely inspired. These are a few of those moments. I've tried to avoid quoting whole songs, or stupid amounts from the same bands (Thinks Genesis, Leatherat or The Who...). It's also mostly for personal reference, so I'm not going to analyse them, and is subject to update at any time, but If you read this you're probably bored, so feel free to share some of yours...

---------------

Asia, I Will remember You
No matter how I try
You're there before my eye
And the thought will never subside, forever
I will remember you

The Beatles, With a Little Help From My Friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Biffy Clyro, Machines
I've started falling apart, I'm not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

Billy Joel, She's Always a Woman
Oooh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart
Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I’m only falling apart

Cyan, The Creeping Vine
Politicians' visions can go to hell
It's up to us to save ourselves

Deep Rising, Nowhere
So, my dear friends
Where are you when I need you?
Let's not pretend
That you care (If you're not here now)

Diablo Swing Orchestra, Rag Doll Physics
But I do and I don't want to care any more
If I close my eyes will it spare me the sight?

Dog Fashion Disco, Dead Virgins Don't Sing
I need to know, that if necessary you will die for me
Now tell me, will you die for me? Will you die for me?

Dog Fashion Disco, Sweet Insanity
Inspired by your madness
Like furious wind in a storm
Slowly growing cold
I'm falling in love with you

Duran Duran, Save a Prayer
Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise

Electric Light Orchestra, Ticket to the Moon
Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain that gently falls upon your window
You’ll never know

Faith No More, Edge of the World
You can trust me - I'm no criminal
But I'd kill my mother just to be with you

Faith No More, Falling to Pieces
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together

Faith No More, Just a Man
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man

Faith No More, Ricochet
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious

Fantômas, 04/30/05 Saturday
Well what did you expect in an opera?
A happy ending?

Fleetwood Mac, Man of the World
I guess I've got everything I need
I wouldn't ask for more
And there's no-one I'd rather be
I just wish that I'd never been born

Gary Jules, Mad World
I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
These dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

Genesis, Counting Out Time
Take it away Mr. Guitar...

Genesis, That's Me
Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free to move around on my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always going to be

Genesis, Undertow
If this were the last day of your life, my friend tell me
What do you think you would do, then?

George Michael, Careless Whisper
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
Should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given
So I'm never going to dance again
The way I danced with you

Gogol Bordello, American Wedding
I understand the cultures of another kind
But here word "clelebration" just doesn't come to mind

Gogol Bordello, Supertheory of Supereverything
First time that I read The Bible it had stroke me as unwitty
I think it may start a rumour that The Lord ain’t got no humour

GTR, Solid Ground
Don't fall in love with me
I'll hurt you, can't you see?
Don't fall in love with me
It was never meant to be

GTR, When the Heart Rules the Mind
When the heart rules the mind, one look and love is blind

Jaked off shorts and loaded heads, Epileptic
Wait a minute, wait a minute - Cut this shit

John Wetton, Lugh
Sing, Sing, Little one - You are free
Dream, Dream, Little one - You are free

King Crimson, Indiscipline
I repeat myself when under stress
I repeat myself when under stress
I repeat myself when under stress
I repeat myself when under stress
I repeat

Leatherat, Altruistic Hedonist
If it feels this good and no-one's hurt how can it be so wrong?

Leatherat, I Like to Smoke
I like to smoke, I like to drink
I'm not bothered what you think about it
Criminalise my life
I'll do it anyway
I like to sing I like to shout
No need to be put out about it
Worry about your own life
I'll live my life my way

Leatherat, Yours
The world seems very cold today
When people ask I say I'm feeling fine
Drinking alone again
But the bars and clubs have long called time
The people have gone and I'm left on my own with my thoughts
Of you haunting me
Acting out normality
Condemmed to play this role
//
I felt the cold wind of change as I faced up to the sign
The cold wind of change knowing you're gone for good this time
For those that grieve and those that mourn you champion our cause
You took away a part of me, keep it 'cause it's yours.

Level 42, Something About You
I’m not perfect, that’s for sure
I’m only human, after all

Marillion, Kayleigh
Kayleigh - I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh - Its more important to me now you're gone

Marillion, Living With the Big Lie
I never got over it
I got used to it

Marillion, Script for a Jester's Tear
I never did write that love song
The words just never seemed to flow

Marillion, The Web
Your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified
I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry

Men Without Hats, Safety Dance
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Then they ain't no friends of mine

Mike and The Mechanics, Something to Believe in
There's a boy out there with a crazy stare
And a gun to make a living

Mike Oldfield, Man in the Rain
You're no loser, There's still time to ride that train

Nirvana, Lithium
I’m so ugly
That’s OK ‘cause so are you

Paul Weller, 22 Dreams
I had 22 dreams last night
And you were in 21
The last one I saved for myself
Just to save my soul

Peeping Tom, Don't Even Trip
And I know that arseholes grow on trees
But I'm here to trim the leaves
And I'm afraid; are you still my friend?

Pink Floyd, Another Brick in the Wall Part 3
This room is going to be a bakery; Thought you'd like to know

Pink Floyd, Echoes
And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

Pink Floyd, Learning to Fly
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Polkadot Cadaver, Chloroform Girl
Chloroform Girl, how have you been?
Don't let me catch you sleeping again
You're only alive because I like you (because I like you)
It's been three years since you've seen the sunlight
But I know you're having fun
Bound, gagged and chained up in my basement (in my basement)

Primus, Mr. Knowitall
They call me Mr. Knowitall
I am so eloquent
Perfection is my middle name
And whatever rhymes with eloquent

Quiet World, Traveller
The friend who's by your side
Is just a friend and not a guide
And until you can comprehend
Your journey cannot end

Rainbow, Since You've Been Gone
Could I be wrong?
But since you've been gone
You cast a spell
So break it

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under the Bridge
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day

Self Diagnosis, Lore Finding
www.last.fm/user/dankempster/journal/2008/08/13/243953_song_lyrics:_"lore_finding"

Skyclad, Postcard from Planet Earth
Planet Earth, It's great to visit
It's great to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Cockroach
Not to flaunt my superior design
But next to you I'm practically divine

Snow Patrol, Run
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Status Quo, A Mess of Blues
If you cry when you're all alone
It's surely no disgrace?
I got to get myself together
Before I lose my mind

Status Quo, Over the Edge
I never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on? What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

Stealers Wheel, ALMOST Stuck in the Middle With You
Clowns to the left of me
Jesters to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Steve Hackett, Ballad of the Decomposing Man
Nobody’s perfect, least of all me

Stolen Babies, Lifeless
Why don't I go tell me why do I stay when I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why don't I go tell me why do I stay when I know there's nothing you can see?
Why don't I go tell me why do I stay when I know there's nothing I should say?
Why don't I go tell me why do I stay when I know there's nothing for me here?

Stolen Babies, Push Button
The more you believe, the less that you think
The less that you think, the more that you speak
The more that you speak, the less that you see
The less that you see, the more you believe

Ten Years After, I'd Love to Change the World
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I leave it up to you

Tomahawk, Laredo
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river

The Who, Behind Blue Eyes
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your fingers down my throat
And if I shiver please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

The Who, My Generation
Hope I die before I get old

The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Addicted to bad Ideas
Because I can, 'Cause no-one can stop me
'Cause it makes up for things I lost
Because I'm addicted to bad ideas
And all the beauty in this world

The World/Inferno Friendship Society, ...and Embarked on a Life of Poverty and Freedom...
You make me feel as though I was somebody
At first I thought you were making fun of me
But you're not making fun of me
That's just the way you are
And my heart leapt
