I borrowed "The Music Lesson" from David Grier. It's a book filled with a lot of interesting insights of ways to look at music, how it relates to life situations and life in general and our interpretation of it or lack thereof. I find it to be enlightening in some ways and far-fetched in others, which may be a reflection of my own ignorance or resistance to what lies within the book's pages. I'd say it's worth a read though. Here's a quote that I came upon today that I must confess to being all too familiar with...
"...Humans only hear what they want to hear. Play a record for a musician, and before he can listen to it he has to know who it is. And once he knows, he decides what it sounds like before he ever hears it, solely based on what he thinks he knows about the performer. What difference does it make who it is? What does it sound like and how does it make you feel? That is what is important. " Guilty as charged.
