Silliness Question Everything? - Page 294

Maybe so.

Is it easier to accept a similar concept if it is in a song?

Does setting an observation in a song make it easier to understand?

victauria · 02-01-2013, 03:17 PM

Sometimes, maybe. Don't we experience music on a different level than speech?

Can't the mood of the song counter the feeling the words of the song actually convey? Doesn't the song "Alone Again (Naturally)" (about a man who wishes to kill himself after being dumped at the altar) provide support for this?

Are you saying that you feel that the tune and Gilbert O'Sullivan's voice is not congruent with the lyrics?

Is it not the case that having to endure "Alone Again (Naturally)" - or, indeed, any of Gilbert O'Sullivan's oeuvre - might actually drive one to consider ending it all?

Would that song being one of your favorites lead you to not consider ending it all?

Why's my head singing ?

victauria · 02-04-2013, 10:08 AM

Is the tune in your head the Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats?

Are you inherently evil?

GeoffC · 02-04-2013, 10:09 AM

I don't know - There's a screeching that could be a cat caterwauling - would that be a clue ?

Good at what?

GeoffC · 02-04-2013, 10:13 AM

Good at anything, really. Can someone be both good and evil ?

Are you a good judge of character?
