Music: Project Song With Moby

I feel this is the best episode of NPR's Project Song. Musicians are asked to compose a song in 2 days after choosing a picture and a few words given to them.

Moby's composition and explanation of his craft are incredible and enlightening. When reflecting on the chorus, "Somewhere there's a Sunday ... where everything is safe and warm," he comments that his favorite type of unsettling art, "is the kind of art which isn't immediately unsettling." Then the song concludes, "...but I'm never going home."

As in many things we seem to study, the paradox is often the most interesting. It draws us in because it is not easily understood. I often tell Isaac, if it were easy, everybody would be doing it.
