2) What's your favourite piece of music with controversial or political themes, and do you suspect it's a bit preachy, or just insightful?
3) What, if any, piece of music goes through your head when someone or someones start talking or acting sexually/suggestively in your presence? |
1. Yes, many. Oh, you want examples? Well, Take 5 is an obvious answer. A not so obvious answer (unless you know me) would be to pick something from one of my absolute favourite groups: Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. They do many interesting things with rhythm. Or some Stravinsky? But I'll pick one of McFerrin's Circlesongs. Circlesong One is in 7/4, but I'll choose number three. It's in 15/4, I think. (Could be notated in three I guess, but it only makes sense in 15.)
(I also have a recording of Silent Night in 5/8, but that doesn't count, as it's me and my sister playing my arrangement of the song. There are also odd meters in some parts of the soundtrack for the game mentioned in my sig.)
2. I have many CDs with Christian music in my CD-collection. That can certainly be considered controversial. Pick a favourite? As you can tell, I'm not so good at that, but considering the followup-question, I pick Michael Card's Ancient Faith CD. Preachy
and insightful.
3. That would depend on the circumstance. I tend to make very far-fetched connections to songs popping up in my head at various time. (Or having random songs get stuck.) But just to give an answer, I'll say "You Can Leave Your Hat On", just because it's a cool song.

1. I can't think of anything.
3. I) I play music. II) I play computer games. III) I make computer games.
3a. I) I hadn't learnt how to yet. II) I didn't have the games to play. III) Didn't have the tools or skills.

And now to think of some new questions, while listening to Circlesongs…
1. Why don't you listen to more music?
2. Why don't you listen to more music live?
3. Why don't you play more music?
(Oops. It became a triple music question.)
