“Song by song, I’m losing the attachment to the idea of permanence—embracing the ephemeral, the constant change… And it’s a fantastic, liberating feeling.
Alan Watts wrote: “When somebody plays music, you listen. You just follow those sounds, and eventually you understand the music. The point can't be explained in words because music is not words, but after listening for a while, you understand the point of it, and that point is the music itself. In exactly the same way, you can listen to all experiences.”
Music is #change, music is the most fantastic ‘illustration’ of #impermanence—a fluid play of sound and silence, of varying frequencies that reach your body and transform you as they disappear, being replaced by the following waves, meandering, never still—if you try to capture it at any given point, it’s just not there. And then, after the last chord of the song—it’s gone. And then—back again. Faaantastic!
Ok, enough of philosophy—the full, 9-minute version of this amazing song.”
