Don't let your self, or your ears, be offended by improper or unscheduled sounds
If, for example the record is scratchy, hopefully, you wouldn't object if you were listening to it sitting by a fire crackling logs
Simply close your eyes and allow your ears to hear all sounds around you
Don't try to name or identify these sounds, just hear them as you would listen to music, as when you hear a flute or a guitar
Don't bother about what it means, your brain will take care of that by itself
Just let your eardrums respond as they will to all the vibrations now in the air
Haha … and because we simply cheated our self the whole way down the line
We thought our life by an*logy was a journey
A pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end
And the thing was to get to that end: success or whatever it is
Or maybe heaven after you're dead
But we missed the point the whole way along
It was a musical thing, and we were supposed to sing or dance, while the music was being played
