valleys of neptune

This is a very pleasing idea because so often to a human being the world it seems like it’s this chaotic place where everybody’s doing something different, everybody believes something different, everybody has a different idea of what’s true and what’s false; everybody has their strong opinions about everything. There’s so much difference that it’s overwhelming and I think that it’s one of the pleasing things that music is expressing is that- yes… the bass is different from the guitar, is different from the drums, is different from the vocals- they’re all doing different things but they’re doing one thing together. This is something that families can’t seem to do and schools try to force on people and they can’t do it- and bands do it; classical composers do it; jazz musicians do it.
