TBI in musical form.... ? ?

This is one of my favorite Beatles tunes, "All Too Much" (a good remake by Paul Gilbert can be viewed here.), and to me it really is a good example to me of what a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is like for someone who has no insight into what a TBI "feels" like (or better, how it can feel).
That is to say - the various layering of this song and the weaving of the sounds is how it does "feel" like with a TBI. Particularly how there's one part where the mix gets(to me) sort of muddied, and how if you just get into the song, it has several parts that have a kind of sensation of having your head in a fish bowl/underwater vibe.
Now I am not saying that having a TBI is a wonderful musical like experience, it is rarely such. But rather that with some moments of having a TBI (at least in my experiences)it is the sensation of being on an internal remix of how things are processed, and that it can feel like someone other than yourself is at the "mixing board" of your cognition. It's like someone is adjusting the equalizer of your brain. Sorry if that sounds either "trippy", or if it makes the experience sound like others might enjoy it - as I doubt that is even remotely true at all.

Tell Me Why - The Beatles

Just trying to battle another case of "writer's block", and a good Beatles song might do the trick....

one of a kind, just not your kind, which can be unkind?

I've mentioned in some of my posts about how much I enjoy music, and how my musical tastes cover such a huge spectrum of varieties.
And sometimes that includes songs that are just plain sappy and/or kitschy.
Here's a great example of such - from 2006, "Nothing in this world" from Paris Hilton.
Go ahead, roll your eyes. But it is a happy go lucky pop tune. To me it is catchy and just has a (to me) infectious groove to it. Sometimes (again in my opinion) a good song can just be a bubble gum sweet bouncy song. Sure you could gloss over this song and say it is vapid and not "deep" or "meaningful", but sometimes life's guilty pleasures are just simple and enjoyable.
But for the record - I've never followed fads, trends or tried to be "something" I'm not. I've always been the person I wanted to be, and though that might not be an opinion shared by many, who really cares?

a "great" day

The way we use language is entertaining to me. Like when people use sarcasm....here's a funny memory of mine.
I meet up with a friend, who say, "Man I'm having a great day".
I say, "What do you mean?"
Friend replies, "This morning my car had to get jump started, then on the way here, I get a speeding ticket".
To which I say, "See? That's the difference between you and I, you have such a positive attitude. If it were me and my car had to get jump started AND I got a speeding ticket, that'd be a bad day"

Changing language

Language is always changing. When I was growing up, we played "hide and seek".
Now it would be called "redact and seek". #wordplay #yourmondaylaugh 😉
