Help, I'm becoming obsessed with a composer who died in 1925 the same way I obsess over modern metal band members! I mean look at this man and tell me he wouldn't have the same following as Noah Sebastian and Vessel if he were around now
The vibe is a vibe. He wrote a piece called Vexation which is meant to be repeated 840 times. He was thrown in jail for 8 days for crimes against art. He was in a cult briefly. He was friends with Picasso and Debussy. He flunked out of music school and went back at 40. He wrote joke instructions in his sheet music. He took a hammer everywhere he went. 100 umbrellas were found in his home when he died.
As a metalhead, it's a possibility that Willow Smith is my greatest guilty pleasure. Not only is she a pop artist, not only is she a nepo baby, but she's the daughter of goddamn Will Smith.
Regardless, she has an excellent voice and her singing is pretty complex and oddball in comparison to most top 40 pop. This song in particular has an excellent instrumental which elevates it. I don't have a lot of the words to properly analyze pop, but I just love this.
Scenario: a sample of your DNA was taken, popped into a cell, and cloned into a baby, gestated in a sci-fi artificial womb vat. The first time you or anyone in your family meets this baby is after it has already been born out of said vat. You can hold the newborn if you want, it's up to you, but it is a living breathing baby that was cloned from your DNA and is genetically identical to you.
I love clone philosophy. Give me all your philosophy of clones
