"This is a musician's life. Everybody tells you not to do it and to get a real job. When all is said and done, and we've filled the highest high-rises and built the fastest machines, there's still going to be room for someone to tell you a story or write you a piece of music" - Hans Zimmer Music makes the world go round.
@@sledzeppelin Bone flutes have been found dating back 50k years. Oldest sapiens fossil is around 200k. Who knows how long we've been actually making "music". And and that is just an object, how long have we've singing? Making music with hands, whistling, etc... Besides, Hyuse simply said we are lost without it, not that we did not exist prior to it. So, you're not being smart with your comment, just being a smartass.
What he does is overcomplicate pretty simple concepts with big words and unnecessarily long sentences. His vocabulary is really good, but he isn't a good speaker at all, a good speaker can simplify a concept down into easily digestible pieces of information, Jordan Peterson word salads the absolute hell out of his speeches.
@@suckmyduck7029 He speaks as if he's writing an essay. It's a very odd stylistic choice of speech that always seems kind of out of place outside of academia. I don't think he's an overall bad speaker. Bad speaking to me is being unclear or constantly contradicting yourself. I just think he never figured out how to condense his ideas or to adapt to different audiences.
@@SiniRawrz Maybe you could say that his way of speaking is beautiful or something, but I would assume that the function of his speech is to illustrate and argue his points effectively, which I don't think he does at all, if anything I think he uses that way of speaking to hide his inconsistencies and to allow him to shy away from difficult confrontation.
It is really telling about how a guy who has come back from a kind of deep, long hell (look his recent story up for details) becomes so alive and embracing of life and the good things in it, that he can hardly keep from chocking up about it.
Wow, what a humanizing moment here from Jordan Peterson. Him choking up there you can see how much music really speaks to him. He's not only intellectually intelligent but also emotionally Aswell.
As a drummer and percussionist, I like the analogy of balancing between chaos and order. When I play in a jazz orchestra, for example, I represent order by maintaining a steady swing beat while also bringing out some chaos by sudden accented ensemble hits, changes in dynamics and brief fills/solos. There's nothing better in the world than playing a smokin' tune with the right bunch of people.
As a fellow drummer, think about what we do when we go for a roll. We disrupt order and create chaos until there is a point where we restore order by succumbing to the original beat. It’s symbolic, it shows that in order, chaos can erupt but it shall pass and order remains as long as I’m in control of the sticks. All music is a deviation from order to chaos until order is then achieved. It’s what a passing chord on the piano is or a minor to major switch(depending on the theme of the song). The drum is just a deeper version of that because drum is analogous to our heartbeat. It’s the first instrument we hear. And we are aware of beat straight out of the womb as a consequence. That’s why a child will remain calm at his mother’s heartbeat. It’s truly an honour to interpret the drums.
Music is truly one of the most powerful things on the planet. It can evoke emotions immediately regardless of whether or not you like the content. There's always something to appreciate in every genre
I'm a composer. Sometimes when I talk to other people or fellow musicians they seem to think we are music wizards that are inspired to create music out of nothing. It never felt that way with me. Composing music felt more like discovery followed by organization. I always felt like I was tapping into something I didn't make, and then organized it together in different ways to make something new. I didn't make the emotional response to a major chord, nor to a minor chord, nor did I create the emotional drive that follows a functional chord progression. I make use of these things, but I feel no ownership over them. That's why when people ask me about my music in some ways I am as mystified about it as they are. It often feels like when I show someone my music, I am discovering alongside them. It's an incredibly powerful experience for me, and a humbling one in a really good way.
Music is an emergent property of life. You are the shaman, the channel through which this property flows. Think about this when you compose and let it flow as freely as you can!
The middle bit, about tapping into something you do not own... That's so well explained. It's like... accessing a data bank with all the emotions, and then choosing which emotions you want to have in your play, that better convey the message you want to bring. You don't own the emotions that the chord progressions make everyone feel. You don't even own the chords. The only thing that is You is the message that your piece conveys!
I can relate to that, sometimes i listen to queues i composed and produced when its broadcasted on tv in a show or whatever and i'm absolutely amazed how alien that music feels to me, i made 100% of the choices that led to theses tones being what they are but part of me is still wondering how in the world did i get the credit for it... Music is a lot like cooking i think, people congratulate the cook and the cook congratulate the carrots.
Wow, as someone who makes a large portion of his income playing live music, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I didn't get emotional right along Dr Petersons description of hearing that song in Nashville. Wow, that was intense, sir. Thank you for sharing this.
I totally agree. His description was a fine illumination of how and why music reaches people. His emotional reaction reveals the congruency between the ideas and his deep personal conviction. His clarity and texture of expression is a joy to take in. ❤
This is why I have a hard time relating with people who refuse to give other genre of music a try. I love damn near every type of music humans have created. My playlist ranges from a waltz from Dmitri Shostakovich to Stevie Ray Vaughan cover of Hednrix "Little wing". Mixed with Prince, Celine, Clint Black, to Jagged Edge. Hell lately I've been hooked on Cuban classical all winter.(Alfredo Valdez!) Music really changed my life. And I hope folks give all of it a shot. Just once.
You need a whole lot more classical music in that list, lots to discover : Bach, Wagner (e.g. Tannhauser Ouverture), Mozart (e.g. Requiem, the magic Flute, Symphony nr. 40), Beethoven (e.g. Ode to Joy, Mondschein Sonate), Chopin (e.g. Nocturne in b flat minor) , Grieg (e.g. Peer Gynt), Debussy (e.g. Reverie), Dvorak (e.g. The New World), Smetana (the Moldau), Schubert (Symphony nr. 8) , Tschaikowsky (Nut Cracker), Prokofieff (Peter & the Wolf), Ligeti (Atmospheres), Bizet (Carmen), Verdi (the four seasons, Nabucco), Puccini (Nessun Dorma), Pachelbel (Canon in d minor), Bruckner (7. Symphony), Richard Strauss (the blue Danube), Mussorgsky (Pictures at an exhibition), Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto nr. 2), Liszt, Paganini and on and on and on
@@sledzeppelin maybe it’s possible that you don’t have the cognitive ability to comprehend what he is saying ? You have to stop identifying with the ego buddy
I've been a musician for a while now and although I'm not the sort of person who likes to overthink/philosophise things that are supposed to be simple (such as music), I have to say; the way Jordan describes music as a set of patterns and relates that to his own idea of chaos and order in existence is probably one of the most insightful ways I've heard anyone talk about music. I love how he views reality in terms of abstract ideas and gains such fascinating insights through that perspective.
@@Earthad23 Maybe it’s possible you don’t have the cognitive ability to see through his nonsense and he’s fooling you into thinking he’s brilliant. Ever think of that?
This is one of the most profound things I've heard. Just Philosophy, no politics. If there is one clip you show your friends to convince them that JP is a good man, this is it. Anyone who's gone through tough times be it physically or mentally can relate to this. When JP said: "music puts you directly in touch with the meaning that sustains you in life" I felt that. There was a time where I struggled to find meaning in my life and in those dark days in my head, it was Reol's music that kept me from the brink as I desperately tried to sort out my shit.
I can attest. Music -- especially classical music -- is one of the rare catalysts that moves me in a way that seldom else can, especially in its dynamic range of passions and moods.
Learning about the nature of compound tones (musical tones with a harmonic series of upper partials), sympathetic resonance, the nerve fibers and intricate design of our ear canals/drums, and how all of these interact with each other is a game changer. Highly recommend 'On the Sensations of Tone.'
What I love about music is it's ability to evoke nostalgia. Boards of Canada does it for me (specifically their song Farewell Fire). If I return to a song that had previously helped me through a rough time (e.g. a break-up, depression, loss of a friend, etc.), it immediately brings me back to that period in my life. I'm able to reflect, to see how far I've come, and to appreciate the memories associated with that particular song. Periodic reflection is a good thing..
Nostalgia itself is a mysterious phenomenon. For me, nostalgia is an incredibly beautiful, yet also a very painful emotion. It simultaneously evokes a feeling of joy and gratitude- but also sorrow and longing, knowing that no matter what you can not possibly go back to those times that you are recalling. But yes, music is an incredible tool for evoking nostalgia.
@@sledzeppelin when you look at the world what is it that you think you’re seeing? It’s patterns, I know you think you’re clever and all but you don’t understand how foolish you sound attacking him for these things.
I can relate to JP tearing up while describing the joy of music. I rarely ever cry due to sadness. I routinely get choked up and by emotion when confronted by overwhelming beauty. It comes on all at once and there's nothing I can do to stop it. At times it can be embarrassing, lol.
Just before this segment, in the full version Jordan talks about going to a Ramones concert. Something about the fact that this man once went to see the Ramones just filled me with absolute joy...
2:32 Yes! I remember feeling that deep connection and feeling of meaning when I was at both a Morrissey concert and a Depeche Mode concert - that feeling cannot be replicated outside of a concert!
@@sledzeppelin explain the color blue to a blind person, there’s something called the hard problem of consciousness, we can’t explain the qualities of the experience of life, just admit the universe is a mystery. It’s a giant mystery and you’re arrogant.
“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment” --Pythagoras "Instruction in music is a more potent operation than many others, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inner regions of the soul, with which they forcefully interconnect, imparting refinement. The soul of one appropriately educated becomes graceful." --Plato, The Commonwealth, III, 401.d
He's usually a very clinical, (clinical psychologist) measured, and calm guy and I do like how he traditionally presents his arguments on his areas of expertise, To see him get emotional on the subject of music as he describes humans in that experience transcending past what he can usually rationally quantify and explain is gloriously beautiful. And as a musician myself, 20 years in to my professional career, When some days feel like a job, hearing this instantly brings me back to the emotional truth of why I do it.
Field Percussionist, or Drumline here. I played tuba from 6th grade through junior year of high school, sousaphone in marching band and pep band; both endeavors I enjoyed, I began to educate/thus practice percussion in the latter half of my sophomore year, by the time marching season came around for my junior year, I auditioned and took bass. Bear in mind, 5 months of practicing percussion (me) against 6+ years of percussion playing and education for the rest of the people auditioning for spots. It allowed me to learn to move with a harness/drum on with less intense sheet music for that season so it was fine. Senior year however I auditioned for tenors and made it, I proceeded to have an absolute blast, drum cadence's, cheers for the school that we played, the student section going ballistic when we'd get a tap off (a specific rhythm taught in practice to cue members of a music group onto a specified song) and all of us knowing what to do based on the notes we just heard would play in sync at the drop of a hat. That unison and cohesion is a hypnotizing thing when you bother to notice. Also playing without looking at the drums, eyes forward, another thing we practice because it looks cool 🤘
Spot on, Dr. Peterson. Spot on. As a musician myself I always love the types of songs he describes that hit that balance. There are some good pop songs, but many get pretty boring for the reasons he describes. They become too predictable.
@@sledzeppelin if it never has a pattern beginning to end absolutely undeniably only if u understand what he actually means by music. Patterns directly influence mood, music does that in a harmonious way. Music without patterns only drives your emotions rampant which is chaos and can only be chaos so it sounds like noise. What music do you know of that has no pattern? I've personally never heard it, that wasn't just randomized noise
@@thedropshotmaster8759 “Patterns directly influence mood” Explain. What sort of pattern? If I write down a sequence of numbers that increase by two each time, how does the At affect my mood?
Nobody does it because what he said doesn't make any sense. Music is patterns and the world is made of patterns so music is just like the world? Have you actually bothered to think any of this through or scrutinize it in any way? So, the world is "made of patterns". In what way? He says music also has patterns, therefore it's an analog of the world. It's just like the world. Okay, is ANYTHING with patterns also the "same as the world"? It's flowery nonsense. It's incoherent and empty. Over-simplified by many orders of magnitude.
@@sledzeppelin Pattern is an arrangement, a particular way in which something is done according to Cambridge dictionary. Water is made out of H2O pattern. That means 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen comprise 1 molecule of water. Had they been arranged in a slightly different pattern e.g. H2O2 you'd get hydrogen peroxide. The space between each atom also allows for the instantiation of a particular form. The fact that the world is made out of patterns is basic chemistry and physics. If you compare music to the real world, lets say atoms are notes and space between notes (rhythm and tempo) is space between atoms and you put that together you get a pattern. It's most definitely not flowery nonsense.
@@sledzeppelin Music is just like the world because it is multiple patterns layered on top of one another with each layer communicating with one another. That’s practically how the world works. That probably went over your head, so that’s why you didn’t understand it. It’s not that everything that has a pattern is just like the world, it’s the fact that music has multiple layers of patterns that all communicate with each other in a synchronized manner… and then it calls you to move to it. That’s what the world does! It calls you to move to it, to play the game of life. I mean come on man he’s a psychologist - he knows what he’s saying it’s not just “flowery nonsense” as you said. He can only explain it to you, not understand it for you.
This is what I think about Music: - According to String Theory, different particles are nothing but strings vibrating at different frequencies (Hz); - According to Quantum Mechanics, particles can exhibit wave-like behaviors, which can be translated to frequency (Hz); - According to General Relativity, if 2 bodies are massive enough and they collide, we should be able to detect gravitational waves, which have a frequency (Hz). Also the whole fabric of Space-Time seems to be "vibrating" (which implies, you guessed it, a frequency); A Note in Music is the air molecules vibrating at a certain frequency (Hz). A chord is a harmonic interpolation of certain frequencies (Hz). The Universe is frequency. Music is frequency. Therefore, Music is the Cosmos' universal language.
@@michaelhansen8959 Yes! I'd seen that one too! Loved it to bits, especially the part where "It only can be learned and mastered and can not be cheated." So True! I usually explain that as "Music is a very demanding Mistress. But once you start paying respects to her everyday, She can be quite generous and make you feel very happy!" Edit: Brah, after reading your discussion with that person, I can safely say that, roughly, we are striding on the same cognitive plane. I'm going to bet we can talk for hours, lol.

Thanks for this clip! I watched on Spotify and wanted to share it with some folks. People (esp in the US) have a closed mind about JRE and Jordan Peterson. This clip is beautiful and underscores the importance of Listening, even if you think you disagree with a person.
@@sledzeppelin the content of the clip doesn't underscore listening to people you think you disagree with. I meant that this clip is probably going unheard by many people who don't agree with Rogan or Peterson.
@@soundoflistening So your point is people who don't listen to Rogan and Peterson won't listen to Rogan and Peterson? Wow. I think you're really on to something there.
Big props to Jordan for detecting that music exists in a pattern. This is the type of deep philosophical analysis that has been lacking in the current academic landscape.
The post-modernists will try to tell you the world is made of objects. Nope! It's made of patterns. Therefore, music = the world. Because they're both patterns! See? It's BRILLIANT.
What I'm fascinated by is how vapid and empty his "insights" and "arguments" are, and yet so many people think he's some sort of guru. It truly is fascinating.
I have never heard someone explain why I love music and listen to it every day in a way that I thought it was relevant. Dr. Peterson explains it in a way that I have gained another perspective and understandig of why I love music that I did not think about before and did not understand! Thanks again Dr. Peterson!
Such an eloquent man he is, beautifully put. Music is not different from life. Once you get the techniques of playing your instrument/sing there comes a point where you can transcend this experience, a point where you stop being and simply turn int music and that's the most beautiful feeling in the world. No matter where I am, no matter how much of shit I am in, music has always protected me. It's the only thing that I truly love, I just hope that she loves me too.
This might be the most Jordan Peterson clip I've ever seen. Interesting insights, wild connections, random tearing up; the only thing missing is a mention of the metaphorical substrate and/or embodiment of hierarchies.
Cool. I would say music can be learned but never mastered. I've been playing guitar professionally for over 30 years and it seems a lot like life - the longer I go after it the more I realize how little a slice of pie I'll actually experience in this breath of a life we are given. I could play every day for 500 years and still have lots to learn.
This is exactly how I feel driving a car on the edge through a corner. Wrestling it down into the apex and feeling the exact moment I can begin to apply throttle. Using all the grip I have to try to maintain that little bit of slip; feeling if there is more; if I've overshot a little. Its just like dancing on the edge of chaos. How close can I get to perfection that is that knifes edge between the two.
Peterson just described what Rogan tries to attain on his DMT experiences, using the analogy of music. He draws parallels on the innate desire within us to experience a connection however brief with the one divine power. Something that is beyond the confines of the world and our finite minds. When we get just a second long glimpse of this divine glory, and feel the peace that waits just beyond us, it can be quite emotional
Music, good music, is logos within sound. All beauty has Logos. LOGOS is literally, beauty, truth, ultimate reality, ineffable....the archetype of the divine....
One can even parallel the communicative patterns within music to the molecular structures that literally shape and comprise what and who we are-hydrogen atoms, nerve cells and all-dancing in harmony to the collective beats of life.
Try this next time. Play a couple of your favorite songs through an audio spectrum visualizer or a frequency visualizer. If you're a music producer you probably have already seen this on an EQ. But watch how the sound waves move and dance as the music is playing. It's truly one of the most beautiful and fascinating things you can observe. It's almost like they are alive and dancing to the beat as they shift around. And I think that's exactly what it is. It's sound and frequencies playing in a certain way that has order and chaos to it both at the same time. It's life itself dancing and moving you to do the same.
It's literally a line showing the current amplitude of the air thrust coming from the speakers. Of course it "dances" along with the music. There's nothing mystical about it. It's literally a visualization of the vibration. Here's another amazing fact of nature: the number on your tape measure "dances up and down" based on the length of the thing you're measuring. You'll observe the exact same thing on an EQ when playing horrible sounds through it, such as the sound of a slaughterhouse or sounds of bombing cities during a war. Do those lines still seem quite so alive and beautiful to you now?
@@sledzeppelin you must be fun at parties. The problem with your "slaughterhouse" theory is that those are random sounds have no structure or pattern to them. That's what makes music music. It's a sense of rhythm and melodic geometry that we can feel intuitively. But to each their own. Everything's subjective and what I find beautiful and intriguing might seem like nothing to you. That's your perception and your opinion.
@@stephenhughes5156 Yea man after all dancing at parties is just merely people synchronizing individual movements of their limbs and body parts in time with the music so as to appeal to the opposite sex. It's such a silly thing, why even bother doing it xD
@@adikickass84 The line on the spectrum analyzer jumps up and down whether there’s a set time signature and defined patterns or not. All it takes is contrast. Are you still going to try to claim that line is dancing?
@@joellespring8508 Sorry I've been in a strange head space lately. I was referring to the belief that the devil had been in charge of music in Heaven. Ezekiel 28:13 is one of the verses that leads to that possibility. Just going along with the comment that music can be used for good or evil, especially with beats that can be used to manipulate the mind.
Jordan Peterson, to me, has always seemed to be a man who is so greatly overwhelmed about how much he understands the importance of humanity and existence.
Iv written music for most of my life. And I was curious to hear him and others in general describe music. Once he started talking about being predictable with also needed to be on the she of unpredictable to make it interesting , I started smiling . He really does get it. And then the interplay but emotional connection of it as he spoke, man, I wish everyone respected music like he does . Now people don’t even listen on good systems and have playlists and pop music is worse than ever and way too predictable and flat. I love to see someone be passionate about anything but about music? That’s special to me in a different way, music requires your mind to engage much more than a movie , you fill in the visuals and story yourself more with music. A good song is a fine distraction, a great song is a work of art that takes you on a mental journey and feels much longer than the minutes it is.
I've found the existence of music to be the best argument for the existence of god or a greater power. Music and mathematics are the only universal languages. Music is a discovery of mankind, not an invention. It is something that touches everyone in a profound and deep way that cannot be explained. It is too perfect, too powerful, too great in potential to be summed up as some construct of man -- in my opinion.
@@sledzeppelin You misrepresented my point in your first sentence, ignoring my actual original comment in full. A comment section isn't a great vehicle for articulating a position, so I'll assume you didn't mean to do so. My argument (in short) is that music is too powerful a concept to be a construct of man. The mathematical undergirding, the unparalleled way that it touches our hearts, the universality of it -- to me it seems like a discovery (IE something that existed in our universe regardless of man's acknowledgement) as opposed to being an invention of man.
@@spamman6369 No, sorry, you're changing what you said. You said "I've found the existence of music to be the best argument for the existence of god or a greater power". Now you're trying to claim you just stated it's not an invention of man. I'll assume this wasn't you being dishonest but was just a mistake. So, which is it: is music the best argument for god, or is music just not something that man invented?
@@spamman6369 Your original post says music is the best argument for god. Then in your reply to me, you ignored that first part, and said you were just saying music wasn't invented by man. This is evident for all to see. And you're trying to deny this? Grow up. Be intellectually honest, even if it's hard and inconvenient. Demonstrate how music proves the existence of a god, or admit you can't.
No no, music is patterns and the world is patterns so music is the world. Traffic lights also have patterns and also have to communicate with the other layers, so obviously traffic lights also equal the world. Get it now? It's brilliant, you're just to [sic] dumb too [sic] understand! /s
I love Jordon Peterson and think he adds so much value to the world. But I'm sick of fanatics never willing to challenge what he says and take every single thing that comes out if his mouth as pure genius. His logic here is actually really bad. ''the world is made of objects, it's like NO, it's not, it's made of patterns". I mean, you could literally say the same in reverse "the world is made of patterns, no it's not, it's made of objects" and it's just as valid. He is actually making the objective claim that the world is NOT made of objects. What does that even mean? So, what, atoms are not objects, but patterns? He then says music is just like the world, because both music and the world are made of patterns. I mean seriously, you can do this with anything. Chess is made of patterns, so is the world, so chess is just like the world. Grandmother's quilt is made of patterns, so is the world, so grandmother's quilt is just like the world. Road markings are made of patterns, so is the world, so road marking are just like the world. It's awful logic. I'm not saying that there might not be something to what he is saying and perhaps a better way to articulate it. But Jordon is not some musician or artist that should get away with that the way they do, he is a public intellectual that makes arguments that are supposed to appeal to reason, and he should be held to that standard. That's what he expects vfrom other intellectuals. In fact, not holding him to that standard and taking everything he says as some amazing insight is disrespectful to him. And just because he says something with passion and a certain amount of ambiguity, doesn't mean it's some deep genius insight. I hate the way Jordon has been villified as a big my mainstream media for years. He adds so much value to society and his messages on personal responsibility and telling the truth etc have been so helpful for millions including me and many more in the future I'm sure. But let's not put him on a pedestal as some God who can't be challenged. Or if he says something that requires further explanation, to just always give him the benefit if the doubt and assume he's 'onto something'. That doesn't benefit dialogue in any sense and is sort of a religious/cult like mentality. Just like the crazy political correct social just nuts that he has so beautifully destroyed on many occasions.
I mostly agree. The people on either side of the JP Love/Hate camp are too much most of the time. However, I dont think that takes away from the real point he's getting at in this clip. He could have articulated better for sure, but the emotion and passion shown in this clip (plus the fact this is 3 minute excerpt of a 4 hour conversation) suggests that there is real meaning. Idk about the science stuff about the world being made of objects vs patterns, nor do I really care. However the idea of bridging chaos and order, and how music does that so well and so accessibly is worth taking on board. Unlike chess, there are no rules for listening to music. It is innate. It is simple and it is beautiful. Obviously not in terms of composition etc. But anyone can dance. As JP notes here, even birds. There's a lot of untapped beauty in these innate and simple things that I guess a lot of people overlook. It may seem obvious to you, but people sometimes need these things said before they can understand who they are and why they do what they do. JP here is just putting music in perspective the same way that he put cleaning your room into perspective.
It's almost impossible not to like Jordan Peterson. He's passionate; he's charismatic, and cries damn near every time he speaks on something he truly believes. The problem is that people easily become blinded by his positive qualities which ultimately leads to them taking his every word for gospel.
yeah this whole clip is just fucking bizarre lmao, he's constantly just making huge leaps of logic and saying shit that sounds meaningful but really means absolutely nothing. whole thing comes across more like a person in a manic episode than some profound philosophical take. the whole "there's patterns so music is actually connecting to the soul of reality shit" is just nonsense, even more so when he starts going on about some meaning that he never really defines at all.
@@maxhowlett9661 also as a note for this, there are no rules to enjoying chess either. there's rules for playing it, the same as most music is following rules when being composed, but you can enjoy chess however you like. JP is just saying ridiculous unfalsifiable feel good statements here, there's no real depth to it. People don't like music because of layers, there's plenty of music with only one or two layers, and ones with dozens and dozens, it makes no difference. the orchestral stuff isn't necessarily more enjoyed than a solo guitar or vocal piece, or one with just those two elements.
What about music like jazz? I guess even if jazz is crazy and doesn't have those strict rules about harmonies, it can only work because it works and circles around an implied harmony, but just a bit off to make it interesting. But I'm not an expert on music.

I like this guy but his head is going to explode. Way way WAY to much analysation. I don't understand what he's trying to get at. He should try and calm down.
He says that music is just like life, in it that it's layers of patterns, and when you listen to music you like, and move to its rhythm, you are basically getting a feel for what it's like to truly live, which is to observe layers and patterns in life, find what you like, and dance to it's beat (do what fulfills you).
