  • Einstein said that he wanted to know how God thinks. On my behalf, I'm not as interested in what he thinks compared to how he might feel. In both cases it's fairly presumptuous to assume we can think what God thinks, even to feel what God feels. However silly, or not, we keep on trying, and seem pretty darn content with some of our achievements, these scientific and artistic shadows - the food for our own imagination. Maybe, it all taken together paints a rather compelling picture, aids us through our moments here that would otherwise be utter darkness. "I only compose a song in hope to catch God in three minutes of sound. I always fail of course and have to start all over again."

    As we all know, emphasis on the rational versus the intuitive is largely the difference between science and art, these two modes of being, and the various blends of these, constituting the basic difference between artists and scientists. What they have in common though is a distinguished need to formulate and make sense of the world as experienced - through their own chosen language, be it mathematics led by science, or music led by art.

Applied to music that means you shouldn´t let anybody touch your songs unless you are absolutely certain that they´re on your side. If you're not sure, do it yourself. It pays off in the end.
