ya viribablooo, every time you hear a guy with a guitar singing a country song about a broken heart, you just keep telling yourself it's your secret buddhist philosophy

screw religion. embrace spirituality.

u dont know what ur saying. spirituality is a fundamental part of religion

but religion isn't a fundamental part of spirituality.
: )

hi :) lule c81...try to look at it like this... the water is a fundamental part of the cup as it is the purpose of the cup to hold water, but is the cup a fundamental part of the water? religion is a cup that people use to tap into the flow spirituality but it is not necessary for the vessel to exist, one could simply cup their hands or dunk their entire head into the stream and drink! hope that helps... take it easy

to those who dont understand this, this refers to Buddhism and Daoism

@viribablooo

While that's certainly a possible truth, it really limits the art to say it definitively like that: "For those of you who aren't smart enough to understand what this means, here's my interpretation." It's pretty pretentious, as art/music/poetry has meaning to everyone. You don't need to walk any of us through it, that defeats the purpose.

It's such a soothing song; very up-lifting. Happily filling up the soundscape; i'm really liking this.

hehe, i think you should listen to the lyrics.
