Good on ya. We all gotta die for something, ig! 7 hours ago, Ladle Ghoulash said: But I think the best way to frame it at the end of the day is that you see music like film and I see it more like theatre. You think the music is done once it’s recorded, I don’t. 6 hours ago, gagacabana said: Coming back to this because it's such an interesting way of putting art in the age of reproducibility. Maybe, also, it's like seeing through the lens of studio music as if it's a painting, and live music as if it's a photograph? @bxr i'd love your inputs here Wait … I actually just caught up on the first comments … so, it feels like it sort of falls into the general framework for biblical exegesis (“The Three Worlds of the Text”) … where NUTELLA takes the “of the text” approach (seeing the “text” (song) as a picture) , and Ladle takes the “in front of the text” approach (seeing the “text” (song) as a mirror) … but, again, this may or not be aligned … it just sort of felt synonymous in a way … Spoiler Not to get theological (again), but just take the framework for what it is … and Bloody Mary / BTW / Music as the “Bible” and the artist as the creator … and so on, and such forth … In Brief The world behind the text is a window. Through this window we look to the past, to the time of the author who produced the text, and to the time sometime earlier in which the text was set. The general approach is historical. The world of the text (also known as the world within the text) is a picture. This picture shows us the text as it is and what it says now through its literary features. The general approach is literary. The world in front of the text is a mirror. In this mirror the reader sees oneself within the text, and sees other readers, the believing Church over many years, challenged to respond to it now and into the future. The general approach is theological (‘faith seeking understanding’). The window, picture and mirror are ways of seeing the one beautiful scene. All ‘three worlds’ overlap and interact with each other. Biblical interpretation is incomplete if one world is unduly emphasised to the neglect of the other two. We bring our questions to the Biblical text and it – the Word of God – in turn questions us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advil PM is kicking in hard, so this may sound dumb but all I know is that the Bloody Mary instrumental is a rare, freakish, precious creation. Does that qualify as appreciating is "as the text" ? biblically, I mean The intentional, deliberate decisions made by LG&co (most importantly: the distorted vocal) make the song feel like a living, breathing, snarling animal. I feel like any attempts to “remix” it or to perform it live (with or without added flourishes) only do it a disservice & strip it of what make it so unique & special.
