Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: The Song of Wandering Aengus
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: 'Song Of the Wandering Angus'
The song was good enough, thirty years ago, to fool you into thinking it was a good idea... but now,,, what? You know better. Your sensibilty is sharper. It seems kind of silly to argue over taste- but I guess I am listening to this song in a different context, right? (and so it's not exactly a battle of taste.) Different context because I assume you're in your mid to late forties. I am in my early twenties, and thus a great deal smarter than you by nature, however, I very well could be confused and under the impression that the collision of high and "low" art is a good idea, I don't really know because I never thought about it before. I'd get back to you in another twenty years, (I'm sure by then I'll have come to consider a whole lot about what people are thinking when they play songs), but that would be silly. And I have some other stuff to do. Please tell me more about the "high" and "low" art and what happens when they collide. Thank You. -Redharbour.
