solid advice from the algorithm

 

Watch on YouTube

I have an overly long playlist of music that recalls, for assorted reasons, my deities. Sometimes the algorithm has good contributions to it:

I called up the moon for a little consultation.

Yes, you know that I'm a happy man

But something in me is burning.

I gotta push it, push it out, push it, push it out--

So much frustration.
 

The moon called me back

And said, "I'll give you some advice:

You gotta live a little lighter,

You gotta breathe a little deeper,

You gotta suck it, suck it in, suck it, suck it in--

There's your medication.
 

If you pray to God for rain,

Don't you complain about the lightning!

If your asking for directions,

Don't you moan about the distance!

Must you lose it, lose it all, lose it, lose it all

To find your appreciation?
 

If you rid of all your baggage,
you will likely float away!

But you can't know beauty if you don't know pain.

Gotta feel it, feel it all, feel it, feel it all.

There's your medication.
 

You know you are as small as the things you let annoy you,

And you know you are gigantic as the things that you adore.

Some days you give thanks--

Some days you give the finger--

It's a complicated creation."
