This song is a series of tubes.
I found this comment in the comment section of the song Palace Posy by Boards of Canada. I found it quite unique and funny.
From time to time, I think about "Quality" as mentioned in Robert Pirsigs "Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance" (ZAMM).
I was listening to Nas' NY State of Mind and I could feel the unique flow of the words today. I have liked the song for some time, but today I really "felt" it.
In ZAMM, Robert Pirsig talks about subjective and objective quality. I do not recollect the model at all. I should revisit the book.
I don't know why I tend to fall back to pessimistic/depressing thougt patterns. I recognise that its easier to just take it easy and unserious.
But the void just intensifies its gaze and the shield weakens I guess. Somehow it feels like everyday is fight against the futility and meaninglessness of it all.
To be burdened by the awareness of having been thrown into this preposterous condition is a curse in itself. It wouldn't have hurt to have had the awareness of a toad (no hate).
