What music is closest to TOE ??

[labelwench]

This link should open up on the Bobby Bare version of 5oo miles with the lines you quote, Greg.

There is also an interesting version by the Hooters in the window, bottom right.

Silversun Pickups - Growing Old Is Getting Old

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08aJLbLfjqg


So we all
Are growing old
And it's getting old

Pressure on
Our hollow bones
and the varicose

Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone

So we all
Are growing old

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold
But i

Memorized
Your smile lines
From left to right

Came to life
And childlike
Reaction time

We're allowed
To expire
With ourselves in mind

So we all
Are growing old

Pull out the fear of silence
And put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold

And we sing, sing, sing.
Fight, we fight, we fight.
We cry, cry, we cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.

Do we sing, fight, we cry?
we slide, slide, we slide into the light.

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, well.

Pull out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid of the time
You've got no where to go but here.





Lovely song....imho

Does this have any significance with respect to TOE ?
Yes, it has, in many ways.
Us, music loving organisms -- see above -- signify something deep… with exactly this love for music. The deep enigma or TOE is not to be found in particles and forces. Its all around us, and especially in music.

As is said by Hermes Trismegistos:
"He who understands music, understands the order of the world."

Hello Benedict,

While the question posed in the title of this thread is quite clear, it would be difficult to propose which music would be so all-encompassing and likely more difficult to achieve consensus.

Perhaps simply a sound that elicites a universal response in all cultures, ages and genders, as research is showing that facial expression as reflects the basic emotions seems fairly uniform.

Therefore, I propose we select a simple tonal scale or sound that elicits one of the more desireable yet elusive states in most persons?

What sound, heard by anyone, anywhere, will bring a smile of joy to their face?

That is my humbling thought for this day.

Best regards,

Labelwench

How ever interesting your thought, I must say...
It has nothing to do with what I mean.
I mean music as a metaphore.
From science its a plain fact we inhabit a complex hierarchical ordered and developing vibration.
TOE is within that like the Tatatataa in the first movement of the 5e of Beethoven.

Labelwench,
I'm sorry I've set you on the wrong foot, but in my view everything we see and are part of is variation on a theme.
And I can't explain it in just a few mails.

Apparently, on or about June 10th, the English language will have expanded to one million words, according to a news piece on CTV last night.

Words are but metaphors for expressions of thought and emotion, as is music.

A Theory Of Everything shall have to be reduced to it's most basic concept to be acceptable to all, and with music, the same, IMHO.

Conversely, it could also be so convoluted and profound that none could fully comprehend, and we could have consensus on that basis also.

Actually, I think that one's already out there under the many facets of of Philosophy.

You didn't really think I was going to utter the "R------" word, did you?

Time to crash. Night shift again soon.

Nice to exchange ideas with you.

Ohm, Reason, Toe, Logos, Tao, Brahma, Ma-a-t, Wisdom, the One, the Idea...

If universe is music, and in a way it is, Toe is within these concepts.

It's holism versus reductionism. And actually both.

But the ruling mentality and paradigm doesn't like it.
It looks for Toe within quarks and snares and forces.
