"Tock Tick" - Kurt Vonnegut, Simon Heselev

A dreamy, rhythmic track created by Simon Heselev, with excerpts of a reading by Kurt Vonnegut from his novel Slaughterhouse Five woven into the composition.

Not only does the song capture the essence of Slaughterhouse Five, but it is also a timely statement and reflection on the futility of war.

The frigging music nearly drowns out Vonnegut's voice. Why don't we say this is a Heselev audio track with a dramy Vonnegut reading background.

@missyrestless Perhaps you'd prefer the audiobook.

I just finished listening to an unabridged version of "Slaughterhouse-Five." Tick Tock was the last track on the 5-CD set. It was the perfect way to end the novel. Thanks for posting this.

Vonneguts admitted epitaph = "The only proof you needed for the existence of GOD was music" 13:56 of the interview with Phillip Adams 2005 "In bed with Phillip" "How the hell this noise works I don't know, but it is, is it ever theraputic" Google Phillip Adams Kurt Vonnegut Interview 2005 for a most memorable interview. Would paste the link in but youtube won't allow.

@twinkies22 I listened to that too, quite recently. Very powerful book.

I just stumbled upon this. I've left it on repeat for an hour; you've done well with this. Thank you.

I have yet to see the fruit that I will produce from this, but I do know that this is fertilizer for my mind, and not he BS I've been given since a child.
