I wish that I could think of something not boring to do. :(

...hmm. are you reading any interesting books?

Books are always a good idea. :)

Same.

Play tennis with a friend.

It's 10pm here.

It's NEVER too late for tennis, Millie!!!!1!!1!

 

:hug: :)

:laugh3:

 

I'm about to go to bed anyway... I'll probably be here only for a couple of minutes.

AWWW. :disappointed:

 

LOVE your sig, BTW. :heart:

Thanks :D

It's 4:30 pm here. I wanted to play tennis now but my one of my friends is sick and the other one just got busted by his mom for having salvia. (She was looking through his trash and found a bag - how freakish is that?!)

Same mom who took his cell phone for the ticket?

Bingo.

 

LOL Josh, I need to get on AIM so you stop this.

Whaaaatt?

Hate to be "this guy" but where is everybody?

Here.

there?

No, here.

:laugh3: What really makes for a great song??

Good sound "texture". I don't like a song that sounds too smooth or too rough. It's got to make my ears feel different.

An epic buildup, like in Fix You!

Yea, I see that as true as well - good "texture" as in opening up a new surprise as each page is turned.. and the music itself can't be too "pure" sine wave - I agree, nature uses the same devices. Bird songs as well - the liquid melodic sounds that capture our attention are best if there's imperfections of sorts, and variations..

And yes too - a buildup is essential, and I think a changeup too - it almost has to transition into something different after the climax, or it lacks greater staying power in the imagination. Just listening to Paul McCartney's 'Baby I'm Amazed', it's really an interesting piece, as is Coldplay's Life in Technicolor. But some songs work well without the changeup, if they're not too long; probably the repeating of "sweet notes" works very well, with subtle variations (meadow lark, enter's stage left)..

Ignore the vid, just listen to the music.

That's something too - music is better (at least initially) as simply music! I think the power of music and imagination by far outweighs visuals; in fact, the visuals often diminish the music, unless the song's been 'out there' for so long, and then the video offers something new to explore.. lest I think so - it seems that way. I can see the original artists performing the song, but something about the music as it's own. In art, less is more.

Cells is great.
