So did Steely Dan, but it tended to take the form of a cynical sideswipe, and so isn't always obvious. Music doesn't have to have a message though, most classical music is just appreciated on the compositional level.
It hopefully won't surprise you to learn that I love classical music as well, bar opera (unless it's Mozart opera).
hey I was only explaining what my oddly wired brain experiences when presented with so called.music. I struggle to comprehend people with ear phones in
I thought we'd established that it depends what you're listening to. Favourite classical = Mozart's Requiem
I like quality whatever decade it comes from. The late 60s to the early 80s just happen to be the years when a huge amount of quality surfaced.
And they wandered in From the city of St. John Without a dime Wearing coats that shined Both red and green Colors from their sunny island From their boats of iron They looked upon the promised land Where surely life was sweet On the rising tide To New York City Did they ride into the street See the glory Of the royal scam They are hounded down To the bottom of a bad town Amid the ruins Where they learn to fear An angry race of fallen kings Their dark companions While the memory of Their southern sky was clouded by A savage winter Every patron saint Hung on the wall, shared the room With twenty sinners See the glory Of the royal scam By the blackened wall He does it all He thinks he's died and gone to heaven Now the tale is told By the old man back home He reads the letter How they are paid in gold Just to babble in the back room All night and waste their time And they wandered in From the city of St. John without a dime See the glory Of the royal scam
