This is the intro to "You only live once" by "the Strokes" and it is glorious by all accounts and if you don't think so that's fine but please take heed of the health tip.
Health tip: you are allowed to be wrong.
However, knowing that you are wrong and not changing is the definition of stupidity. If you know you are wrong and do nothing about it you are, and I type this because I care for you, stupid. And as there are definitely no stupid people reading this we are back on talking terms and I can continue with this blog post :)
Now, this band is not the best band in the world for me but they have learnt something pivotal to music theory in this song. This musical idea is relatively simple - music creates a platform for emotion that can be conveyed beyond personal experience and in so doing, unites us by what is common, what we feel.
linguists have found that often if we do not have the language to explain and expand on a concept, it obviously becomes that much more difficult to express. You would think that with the English language continually growing daily with the additions of "LOL" and "smack-talking" there should be more words to express the impulse behind the action, the emo before the hairdo, and the fervor behind the feeling.
The language behind the articulation is the same that beats with a kick drum slightly to the left and a snare slightly to the left.
Emotion is what connects us and what drives us.
At any rate, the song makes me happy. LOL
Please feel free to post songs that make you emote more than you can say.
