I can also mention that "life" without other people's insight and geniality would be rather... boooooooring (thanks Piz for your contribution to my happiness with your art). But this takes me to Sakamoto's work, and since I must use lyrics I'm a bit limited, but this one is an awesome music too:

I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
I listen hard but no words spring to mind
And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat baby

And the blood sail leaves tonight
Fated in its blindness
And it won't be long before help is at hand
And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I killed the captain, sank the fleet
To liberate the heartbeat baby
And it sounds so sweet
And it sounds so sweet
Listen to our hearts beat

And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat baby

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the bible, grown from trees
It opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found

Ryuichi Sakamoto/David Sylvian/Ingrid Chavez's "Heartbeat"

It's a rewarding experience to listen a fellow human being's heart, I know it sounds awkward, and a bit gay too, but I don't give a fck to "uninformed opinions"... try it first, with your husband/boyfriend/girfriend/wife/son/father/mother/friends/not yet friends/grandmother/grandfather and any one that shows himself available to try it... it's "life", that sound actually holds part of the meaning of the word "life" (you can spell it over and over and never grasp its meaning... but you hear that sound and you are a step closer to... "life")...

...mmm, now everyone knows how "strange" I can be...
