Hey Patreon Patrons!

Here it is! A video about how music is pointless and meaningless...in the sense of semantic meaning. Otherwise, it's very powerful as an expressive tool, and is very similar to language, but NOT a language in the traditional sense. It's a language of pure metaphor. No literal meaning anywhere to be found.

I took a week off just so I could try and get this one right. One week ago, it wasn't at all ready for primetime, so I wanted to makes sure this bad boy way ready to go. Hope you enjoy!

What does music mean?

Pythagoras, metaphors, Leonard Bernstein and solresol all tell us that music means nothing in the traditional sense of semantic meaning, but it does give us a vehicle for expression quite unlike any other. Music means nothing, but also everything. 🤜 Victor Wooten - Music as a Language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zvjW9arAZ0 🤜 Steve Vai - Tender Surrender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw74sDWPH7U 🤜 All 10+ hours of the Bernstein Unanswered Question Lectures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fHi36dvTdE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_fxB6yrDVo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwXO3I8ASSg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IxJbc_aMTg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPGstQUbpHQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWeQXTnv_xU 🤜 Bernstein Young People’s concert “What does Music Mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxwWlQNGeKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoNtOf3EEoI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajKVWJ_dj8M https://youtu.be/JlZdXS2Tbus 🤜 My synesthesia video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAqyw606WQQ (⌐■_■) ⦿ Adam Neely T-shirts!⦿ https://teespring.com/stores/adam-neely-merchandise ⦿ SUPPORT ME ON PATREON ⦿ http://www.patreon.com/adamneely ⦿ FOLLOW ME ON THE INTERNETS ⦿ http://www.facebook.com/adamneely http://www.instagram.com/its_adamneely http://www.twitter.com/adamneelybass ⦿ Check out some of my music ⦿ http://sungazermusic.bandcamp.com http://insideoutsidemusic.bandcamp.com http://adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com Peace, Adam
