Beethoven: Music is a dreadful thing. I don't understand it. What does it do?

Schindler: It exalts the soul.

Beethoven: Utter nonsense, if you hear a marching band, is your soul exalted? No, you march. If you hear a waltz, you dance.
If you hear a mass, you take communion. It is the power of music... to carry one directly into the mental state...
of the composer. The listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism.

Merong sumasayaw sa goth. Lalo na pag industrial or waltz ang beat (kadalasan sa neo-classicism). But of course, we dance differently. Some even hiss (showing their fangs) after a band plays to show how they appreciate the sound, instead of just clapping their hands.

Sa case ng candyaudioline, bihira sobra ang meron sumayaw (or mag react in any other way), pag pumalakpak pilit pa, mainly because astounded pa ang mga tao at napag-iisip, "chong, may pagka bading ba si Allan? Hindi nga."


Happy "indie" pendence day rin sa lahat.
