It's neither the best song ever recorded, by most standards, and nor is it the worst. But imho, it's the best rock song ever recorded that's much better if you only know 15* of its words than it is if you know the full lyric.
*In order of appearance: who, are, you, well, I, really, wanna, know, come, on, tell, me, oh, the, fuck.

the sky may be starless
the night may be moonless

for deep in my heart, i know that you love me
you love me because you told me so

Saxophone : What are you listening to right now?

While perusing the Atzmon thread, I’ve been listening to everything saxophone. There are many saxophone compositions performed and presented on youtube, and, as always, some I think are really good and some not so, you know. My opinion is neither here nor there, and I chose these videos I thought worthy of your listening time. So, enjoy, if you wanna— there’s plenty more out there .

Yes, I have very much appreciated that thread, too. Thanks to All, and Many Thank You’s to Alice and compared2what? for your time and effort in our explorations of Atzmon, among the many other expounded philosophical thoughts and responses in that thread.
And I mean that, you two.

Starting next week, I’ll be away from the usual man cave for several days. And I only tell you that because I’ve been drafting a post that relates a personal experience I have felt was similar to Atzmon’s musical experience as well as to a few million others’, too. It’s not as if Atzmon’s musical experiences are more exceptional than other exceptional musicians’; he speaks of musical expressions differently yet not that differently from other practicing concert musicians’. It’s those kinds of experiences and expressions remembered, those elusive moments in life and in music performance, I will attempt to simplify in another post, at another time; if not in the Atzmon thread, then another. When the mention of empathy or (Atzmon’s) “listening ear,” I will suggest in terms musically speaking, and not so certainly logical— as some RIers would expect it so.
