That was really funny

I even laughed out loud. It was more than funny, but the way I recognized it was my desire to get a deeper meaning.

It was a song, ofcourse, I just wanted to feel so I stopped listening to alot, while I was doing other things, but then this one song cae on and ironically, the words told the listener to listen to the meaning not the lyrics, but that was the exact joke that was too perfect. Yeah! so perfect was the mistake, that I'm sure it was left intentionally, Ok. I am not sure of it, but I am inclined to think that it wasn't just a mistake. Let me explain it.

These were the written lyrics:

Our love is deeper than the deepest sea
It's something that we can't conceive or describe
Our love is higher than the highest plane
Something that we can't explain or deny
No matter how I try, words won't come to mind
How can I define something so divine?
(co written by Tal Bachman but he owned them as I heard it)

But at the end as those words were rewritten, something different was sung, hardly noticable, until he also sang "No matter how I try, words don't come to mind." then I thought. poor guy must have done too many takes of that and they just decided to keep it, then the irony hit me and I laughed out loud actually, but I had to shut up to hear the ending, it reminds me of the ending of the song "One Starry Spirit" and so, to me I think it sounds like the sounds of the universe. I think that idea comes from the scene in Dune where Paul touches the folded space and there is a sort of oscilating tone. Plus, I am aware of the fact that Tal Bachman really loves ELO and all of their album covers remind me of something extra worldly anyway.

One more comment while I'm talking about Tal Bachman. When I was sick at home in Mississippi, Brandall sent me old back ups of crud that I had of Tal. One was of him playing guitar with his father, talking about making a song out of Old Jazz Guitar riffs. The song was called "Looking out for number one." that made me think of Kevin Montgomery's song "Lookin' out for number one." then, this week, Kevin mde a comment about how he was a bleeding heart, it made me think of his song where the lurics were "I put a bandaide on it with my five dollar bill, Those kids are growing up so hard." So, I messaged him and asked what the title was and he told me, I was like Ah hah! that's why I thought of t when I heard Tal's dad's song. They both wrote a song called "Broken", too. Which is no biggie. Everyone does it! What is memorable about all of that is tht my huband thought I was in love with Tal Bachman and my best friend thought I was hopelessly in love with Kevin Montgomery, but both were mistaking a love of their music for a love of the writer. People often mistake the songwriter or artists as expressing things biographically and so it would be one and the same, to love a son would be to love it's creator, but this is not the case. I saw the best explination of this by someone who explained that they become sort of self fufilling sometimes, but they are not biographical. I like the way Tal explained it, too. He writes songs that he likes, sort of like the way we all appreciate certain music to certain degrees. He just was looking to create something that would be likable. But, everything that you put in your mind effects the way you think. So Jokingly I said that I was going to listen over and over to the song "If I had a million dollars" but, really all that ewould do is create a desire in me to have money, which I really shouldn't. Besides that misses the point of the song. I need to get back to work.
