    Enjoying this talk? You'll love the brand new TED Radio Hour series - Mind, Body, Spirit. Hear TED speakers share their eye-opening ideas on how we think, move, and feel. th-cam.com/play/PL2TjQf2riraLkqqFGxK65JI-leCAxm1eD.html

      That’s great, thanks for sharing. Reggie is the single most fantastic mockery of TED talks ever done, just like the “Public Radio” scenes in Parks and Rec are the greatest mockery of NPR known to mankind.

      That is not a very direct assumption, but nevertheless it is a very important aspiration. People don't feel freely as if though they do not do the other without ever having to admit to the enevitable underlying victimisation of the truth. It is not contemporary to understand the very resemblance of psychology itself.

    How someone can say so much, but say absolutely nothing at the same time, BUT at that same time everything.
    This guy found a paradox to a paradox in communication.
    The only thing that actually had context was the music. Even though he didn't say anything meaningful in the lyrics of the songs, they still bring across a message or a feeling.
    AKA: Music is a way to express yourself outside the boundaries of the human language. This is just my theory, but I think this is the reason why music inspires him so much. Music has a way stronger force of communication than our common sorts of communcation.
    But for me this means one thing: non-verbal communication is key to our world culture. It has a way bigger impact than most people think. We only have a limited amount books with limited amount of words that most people think is our base of communication. It's not about what you say with the context of the words. It's way more than that: Emotion, Voice pitch, Shape of your body, Your body language, tears, clothes, who your friends are, who your parents are, what care you drive and so on...

      @@kathleen123 Cobain almost always wrote lyrics last. It's hard to say for sure what the man cared about though, he left us too soon. R.I.P. In my opinion, music is enjoyed in many different ways. There isn't an objectively "good" way to appreciate music. I think that the artists that create the music we enjoy have their own reasons for, and ways to create said music, and everyone who listens interpretes it differently. Music is beautiful in all forms, you just have to be willing to truly listen for yourself. I can appreciate one form of music over another, but the one I consider to be less pleasing to me doesn't become intrinsically "bad" because of my opinion. I can still appreciate it as music in and of itself.
