Thursday

Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do -

[Verse 1]
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride[Verse 2]
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style[Chorus]
Give us a smile
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride[Verse 3]
Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you?
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets a-spinning through space
The smile upon your face
See rock shows near Pittsburgh
Get tickets as low as $54

[Chorus]
Welcome to the human race
Some kind of lovely ride
I'll be sliding down, I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Isn't it a lovely ride?
See me sliding down, gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride[Outro]

@natureman said in What do you guys think of Trump now that he won:
The Corona, does it remind you of any letter? Imagine the laugh they're having

First kiss ever I took
Like a page from a romance book
The sky opened and the earth shookTook a fall from a windy height
I only knew how to hold on tight
And pray for love enough to last all nightDay breaks and the boy wakes up
And the dog barks and the birds sings
And the sap rises and the angels sighI tried to go back, as if I could
All spec house and plywood
Tore up and tore up goodIt doesn't come as a surprise to me
It doesn't touch my memory
Man, I'm lifting up and rising freeHalf a mile down to Morgan Creek
I'm only living for the end of the week

My comment is that I've read that metal music can help stress relief and is an aggression/cortisol mitigator. There are lots of studies out there confirming such things that can be easily found, to the surprise of most people. I've always loved metal and people usually tell me I'm very easygoing. As a musician, learning the music is very rewarding and challenging.
My theory/observation is that metal is akin to classical because it is often following strict rules as far as timing, technique, speed, etc. Purely as listening, though, I will note that it is not always the same thing as classical!
Most people say metal is noise. This means something because noise is obnoxious and painful. Ok, but let's say it isn't noise and that it's only noise to the untrained ear. Great. The next step is in demonstrating that it actually does take training to understand metal which is why so many guitarists and other musicians love metal, and pick up instruments to learn it in the first place.
As far as bioenergetic, I think it's something like catharsis. I believe a lot of rock and roll has a modus operandi of undressing a girl or getting high; it is not always truly energetic music. It is often serotonin and estrogen music. Whatever, plenty of metal is shit / serotonin/pufa/estrogenic sound too, so it's not that game I want to play.
It is bioenergetic in that it is technical and requires concentration, critical thinking, and literally, the Peat motto of "perceive, think, act." Extreme metal especially is often a game of identifying deceit or trickery. The notes can sometimes be literally "bedeviled" in the best way - tricking the ear and the mind. This reminds me of reading Peat's articles, and hearing things that maybe you don't want to hear. At the same time it is sort of like the proverbial abyss staring back at you.
I think the cathartic angle is related to this. The technical skills needed to play metal are very underrated. Our culture does not enjoy much classical or metal; both are pretty underground and niche, even though there are some major acts. And I don't think the technicality is an IQ thing, or anything necessarily. Music and metal is sort of like one of the vestiges of traditional lifestyles - like chopping wood or skinning a bear. It is tough and requires discipline.
For that matter, jazz and other genres require discipline! But to me there is something molecular-sounding about extreme metal. The "emotions" are always second to the discipline and method. So that's one of things I love about metal and how it seems bioenergetic. The notes and patterns are almost not important in and of themselves, but in relation to the whole of the song. Similar to how minerals, vitamins, fats, proteins, etc., are understood better taking Peat's big picture lenses of the body, world, and health.
