This video is full of spiraling eye candy with some sayings mixed in. The background music is a recording of Alan Watts speaking about the relationship between life and music as an introduction to some pretty Oriental Flute Music.

  • I think that the talking u do in this vid kinda ruins it. u can just say it in the description box. but alltogether, great vid, i luv this song! :) :D :]

  • @stretchymonkey - The guy talking is DEAD. Most people view this because they seek his voice since they desire to hear what he has to say. You appear to me to have "missed the point along the way" just as he was talking about...

  • awsome who was that he really did say some interesting things.

  • Alan Watts...see my playlists for more about him if you are interested.

  • Great music to go with this vid. Always liked Chinese music. Jean Michel Jarre had some tracks on an old album (maybe 20 yrs back) that were heavily influenced by Chinese music. Awesome recordings to this day by Jarre. Thanks for posting.

  • Consonance and dissonance in music facilitate tension between scales and keys in musical expression. It has been said that the mood induced by Blues music is defined as the best example of Music which exhibits continual tension between Major and Minor chords and scales.

  • Beautiful thoughts and such fine music. I also use Joey Bond's music: "Steel Dragonfly". Tai Chi Master Instructor Bond is the composer of the work. Peace to all and always with love from the heart.

    لا اله الا الله وعيسى نبي الله // Mohammed is the last messenger of Allah //

    No hay más dios que Alá, Jesús, el Mensajero de Allah

    There is no god but Allah, Jesus, the Messenger of Allah

    Il n'ya de dieu que Allah, Jésus, le messager d'Allah

    Det finns ingen gud utom Allah, Jesus, Guds Sändebud
