Song Inspiration Mean
When we live apart from god, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with god. but if we live in tune with the master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by his beautiful music. as this new year begins, ask god to help you tune your life every day to his word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.

In fact, quite a lot of what i do has to do with sound texture, and, you can't notate that. you can't notate the sound of "st. elmo's fire." there's no way of writing that down. that's because musical notation arose at a time when sound textures were limited. if you said violins and woodwind that defined the sound texture; if i say synthesizer and guitar it means nothing - you're talking about 28,000 variables.
Writing Mean Musical
Music is my life. music runs through my veins. music inspires me. music is a part of me. music is all around us. music soothes me. music gives me hope when i lose faith. music comforts me. music is my refuge.

As a general habit and general tendency, i prefer not to bog a piece down with a great number of transitory, contemporary references, because in the end, i'm concerned, not in an abstract way, but an actual way, with creating a world which has a universality to it - even though what goes on is made up of texture and detail, contemporary detail.
World Habit Abstract
Compared with men, it is probable that brutes neither attend to abstract characters, nor have associations by similarity. their thoughts probably pass from one concrete object to its habitual concrete successor far more uniformly than is the case with us. in other words, their associations of ideas are almost exclusively by contiguity. so far, however, as any brute might think by abstract characters instead of by association of con cretes, he would have to be admitted to be a reasoner in the true human sense. how far this may take place is quite uncertain.

I don’t get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. at the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.
Strength Character Long
Character, courage, industry and perseverance are the four pillars on which the whole edifice of human life can be built and failure is a word unknown to me.
Perseverance Character Four
There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.
Drama Character Creating
My first job when i got my equity card was acting in 14 plays back-to-back. playing that many roles, you look for ways of differentiating the characters physically, which goes hand in hand with understanding them psychologically.
