emotions are different to moods. i can have happy moods that are iterated well by music, but i do not have emotions so i lack that finer discernment.
so this is a great song that is very well thought out and concentrates on melody more than sound. it is happy "look at the sun rise and love hope" type of music more than tearing rebellious passionate stuff.

i like thinking in terms of backing tracks. i listen to the actual song through the headphones and play the backing tracks i would include in the song if i was a studio musician.

so one of my favourite zappa songs is "uncle remus" (the studio version)
just listen to the richness of the iteration of note structures that are sublime. either you see it or you don't. it is quite touching considering zappa was not usually that serious in songs.

there is always better and better isn't there? you think something's better, and then you listen to what you think it's better than, and you see it is not better than that.
i know i posted this before, but it really should be listened to. it is a man who seems very inarticulate in interviews and may be autistic for all i know, but here is a song of his, and you have to appreciate his restraint in just playing reams of notes. he gets from his organ, a personality and quality of iteration that is phenomenal to me.
