maybe some emotions are just too big to share just between two people. you feel them and share them with the world instead. listening to antony and the johnsons i can understand that the words he tells are too big for the one who inspired them. i spoke with a lady last night who said when we die that's it. but i asked what is this what we share between us? your words wander to my brain. but do they all reach their target? there must be some left over emotions and words that simply float up into the air and go elsewhere. and over a lifetime there are many words like these we have sent into space, too big for just one. and when we die, these words do not follow us to the grave. they continue to seek other brains and hearts to land in and grow and blossom.

Hmmm things are created through words, or sometimes singing like Vainomoinen in the Finnish epic poem the Kalevala was able to sing a boat into existence to persue his his wicked ways with Aino. Words have always held the power for good and evil.
and of course you had the singing of the Universe into existence in Tolken's Silmarillion. But in that particular case there was one being who wanted to sing his own song, which was different from the song that was being sung to create the Universe. That discordant song was regarded responsible for all the woes of mankind.
And then you have the Eurovision song contest... but we wont go into that.
