High Hopes - never fails to get me down. Gilmour really speaks through those melting, stabbing notes. How has music infiltrated our emotional lives? Is it something absolute? Invented or discovered? That's the biggest question. Does a melody evoke an innate response or does it merely elicit an emotion linked with a motif of memories? I remember Linus referring to a certain scale as 'sober' when I would've termed it 'sad'. It just may be the process of stirring a cauldron of feelings that it lies in resonance with. Hmmm........... music - I've never got it.
