It's true, though. You really should search documents and filenames for text. As for me, I've got plenty of Wotans, and Wotan's plenty for me.

Man hear the Tristan chord with Gershwin passing tones just made my night

[@infinitelytheheartexpands]

personally, not only do I love this, but I am extremely satisfied in knowing that Wagner the man would be absolutely HORRIFIED at the thought of his style being mashed up with that of a Russian-Jewish-origin composer who wrote in styles originated by Black Americans. anyway this is great and you just got yourself a new subscriber.

Bar 116 to the end is so good, the rhapsody in blue motif sounds like it was made to end on the tristan chord - the voice leading is nice too.

[@nassera]

Oh, how terrible! What? My eyes are bleeding… No, Isolde, that's your very heart that is bleeding. Oh, then I can relate. But why me? Last time it was all about you. How can a lance can hurt so much? … Shit. No, Isolde, that's Gershwin. A matter of taste, ain't it? - however improbable. It ain't always necessarily be Gershwin, Tristan. Then who is it today? - You won't say? - It's Freddy, ain't it? Freddy f_cking Wickham. Necessarily. You're lucky to know. We need to let him know too, what he did! He is killing you. No. He wouldn't understand. It would be a retelling of something he missed the first time - again. So we're all in trouble. Yes, we are. Life is killing us all. Then God help us. Then we're in deep shit. Maybe. I guess we're really stuck in deep shit. Funny how you say it. That's not boring at all. That's life. Let's write about it. You've got 6 minutes. I only need 5:26.
