Who wore it better? Three noises inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead--
"The Tibetan Book of the Dead, which first appeared in English in 1927, is used as a breviary, to be read or recited on the occasion of death to help the dying man concentrate on the experience he is about to undergo, and to give him instruction in the cycle of events after death which lead either to liberation or reincarnation. In highly symbolic language, the dead man’s spirit is told what to expect in each of the three stages between death and rebirth. The first stage describes the psychic happening at the moment of death; the second stage describes the dream-state which follows and the “karmic” illusions which occur; and the third step describes the beginnings of pre-natal feelings.
…Hearing is perhaps the last faculty to remain. The ears of the dying man are filled with the final clamorings of earthly life: thousands of whispering voices, motor cars, marine trumpets, torture applied to the teeth, the hands, the sudden agony of the radio. And a wind, a wind that comes nearer, and which he recognizes as the sound of his own breathing. By his side is the lama, the priest, or the friend"

Remember, someone in prison is listening to Style too
Thanks Harris Iqbal. Now when I hear Taylor Swift I'll think about what its like listen to her from prison. I'm sure someone out there heard this just before going in. Maybe it still plays in their head between memories of loved ones and trying to grasp some unimaginable length of time. Her songs are about birthdays, passing styles, this album's title is a year. Can you imagine!? Her music, like the best pop music, is about escape and freedom-- its about wishing the ecstacy of the present would never end and the inevitability of it ending.
Listening to this song fucks me up everytime. I once heard it in a car while rubber necking a motorcycle accident. That was intense but thanks harris iqbal now it fucks me up in all kinds of new ways.
