Agreed. It's the aesthetic equivalent of a drum machine. |

I like Nick Drake but it just occurred to me that this sounds exactly like Donovan (eek).

Simply love all of his music. You are right: literary + introspective but also oh so tender and pure

Or for that matter I would like to hear anyone describe any of the senses or the thought process. There was that great scene in "Children of a Lesser God" where William Hurt tried to describe what music was to Marlee Matlin who was deaf. He failed miserably, of course, but it makes you think about how much of the human experience is beyond description. |
