it is popular for people to analyze poetry but i think that is boring; in this thread you can analyze music, kinda like one of those games that you see once in a while in the forums. you pick your favorite song and analyze it.

I've always suspected of Mary's intentions regarding the little lamb.

That 'Mary had a little lamb' song has something tricky behind, I'm afraid 🙁

I've always wondered at the amount of biblical references in Bob Dylan lyrics.
For example - from "Blowin' in The Wind" -"How many ears must one man have / before he can hear people cry?"
It is said to those who reject Christ: "Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed" (Isaiah 6:9). Interestingly enough, Isaiah responds to this: "Lord, how long?" (Isaiah 6:10).

It is basically the same question Dylan asks.

"SO What" by The Miles Davis Quintet.

It begins with Bill Evans playing simple wandering chords, almost aimless.
Then Paul Chambers enters the room with his bass and stabs at one direction, and then another, and finally finds his way. Bill Evans joins in on the piano.
Then Chambers makes a point and Evans answers with attitude - So What?
Next Miles comes in with his trumpet to announce that he is now the boss (a major talent of Davis, when the band plays a groove and Miles enters in, the song becomes his)
It begins to swing, Trane comes on board and the song becomes edgy, the swing harder, the conversation moodier.
Once again Miles brings it back home with a more upbeat "So What" conversation.
It ends with Chambers and Evans playing the So What refrain in an understood manner, sassyness is no longer so evident.

Dave Brubeck " Take 5"
I like and think most people like the feeling you get from music being played in a non conventional time signature. The texture is such that the untrained ear can listen to all the instruments individually. The song progresses into a drum solo that has a very sexy feel by building suspense, which i suspect comes from the odd beat.

Sort of like when Jesus said, "Get ye out of my house you greedy, mooching b*tches."
