[alarihos81]

In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be,

The roof despair to bar all cheerful light for me,

The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep,

My music hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep,

Thus wedded to my woes and bedded to my tomb,

O let me living, living, die till death do come..............

[LaurentziuRo]

GREAT music !

[sirshitsalot007]

strange - in the renaissance era music was titled by meaningful words, then in common practice era its like "sonata this" and "concerto that"

Good music. The young woman in the painting is Joan, princess of Portugal, who was also a saint. The painting, from the XV century, is in a museum in Aveiro city.

....(some sort of sexual fetish involving brownie batter and an electric mixer, perhaps)?

As for your "big ol' fat mama" hypothesis, I confess myself quite at a loss to infer what this could possibly even mean, despite having an undrgaduate degree in Middle Ebonics.

You leave me little choice sir, in such a heavily uneven contest between civility and intellectual honesty, but to tell you in the frankest terms that you are an impostor speaking complete and utter tosh.

Byotch.

... while admittedly possible, is risibly fanciful given the evidence available at hand (assuming you don't posses some biographical information about Scholl you neglected to mention).

A birth defect or hormonal imballence is surely a far less extravagant speculation than the idea of some injury that selectively tore off the man's balls.

Really, sir, if you give it an instant's though I do think you'll be hard pressed to conjure a scenario in which this might plausibly happen ...

@perrin6 I.

Nigga please. You need to familiarize yo dumbass self with a certain principle of epistemic economy known as Occam's razor. This is often mischaracterized as the principal that among competing hypotheses, the simplest is usuallly the correct one; but I strongly favor the paraphrase that the most likely hyothesis is the one that calls for the least speculation (which is not the same thing at all).

In any event, your surmise that Scholl may have had his balls torn off...

[perrin6]

@CrateofStolenDirt Perhaps he lost his 'big ol' fat mama' (or his balls were ripped off in an accident thus rendering him unable to get any ho's)

[CrateofStolenDirt]

@jhvorotin LOL, "perfect diction"

[CrateofStolenDirt]

I ain't even tryin' to be smartass or whatever but -I'm just gon' say it- was this guy born with no balls or what? And I mean the old-old-school fool who wrote the song.

Don't get me wrong the shit actually sounds pretty dope, but is the voice originally suppposed to be that way, or does this Scholl cat got like a disability, like one them autistic fools who can't tie they shoes but can make a motherfuckin' *perfect* model of the White House from memory out of spaghetti?

[CrateofStolenDirt]

@turixism Damn this nigga was depressed as fuck, huh? His lyrics is always all like, "OOOOOOHHHH I be-ith in such DIS-PAAAAAAAIR!!!!...."

Nigaa get *over* them bitches already, getcho' ass a new ho and new pussy, and quit cryin' like a punk.

Oh, and yeah I'd hit that.

[turixism]
