The melody on The Alcholic probably doesn't need transcription if you know how to play a scale in any key. Just find the notes on the scale. I'm not hearing anything atonal in it, so I bet it'll take you about half an hour, max.
Sorting... is as you probably know, an archetypal task with deep resonance in our psyches. It shows up in all those myths and fairy tales about finding one's capacity and wholeness, but most notably the Greek myth of Psyche (well named, as always in these myths) where it's the task set out by the goddess Aphrodite that Psyche must pass in order to reclaim her Eros and thus her feeling function and wholeness. It's a powerful thing to do, not unlike meditation or other spiritual practises for focusing the mind.
It's still winter here. After a false spring which now has me worried for the creatures and plants that were fooled, it's hovering around 10 degrees and we're between the only two significant snowstorms of the season...
PS I watched the video and I love that it seems to be about celebrating friendship between mature women, but I confess that I couldn't follow the story.... help!
My musical ear is really poor so I think it would take me way longer than 30 minutes. I also haven't played regularly in a while so that would also slow me down.
As far as the video, the first comment on YouTube explains the creepy backstory.
another great post! I'm always amazed by how alike we are as creatures, doing things at about the same time as each other, & how repetitive our lives are without us realizing to what extent. Despite all that, we continually find ways to refine our same ol' stuff and to appreciate it

Murder is involved.
My guess was that the main character was dosing everyone with psychedelics and giving them a new perspective on life...
That's the twist on the source material, I think.
Enjoyed the trippy videos... Mm, meringue crumbling...

I think that's a key to contentedness -- being able to find something fresh and interesting in the same 'ol stuff.
exactly -- & the same 'ol'd stuff isn't ever the same anyway? lol
That's a fact. Still we maintain the illusion of continuity that we call consciousness.
