I enjoy it being a little lighter emotionally :).

It's fun to explore different aspects of ourselves, of others, of everything. I imagine here a few things going on: 1. Literally, it's an exploration of the sound of our own voice. Say things over and over again... listen to the sound of your own voice. Say things over and over again... listen to the sound of another's voice. Say things over and over again... listen. 2. Philosophically, it's the imperfection of language and communication. We sound different to ourselves in terms of meanings as well as literal sound. 3. Dramatically, it's about a person who is not getting along with someone. It's affected them profoundly; after trying for so long to understand each other they have completely given up, gotten calm, accepted their situation, and gone neurotic listening to the sound of their own voice and reflecting on how it must sound to others. It's almost a Zen moment at a pit of despair, as the individual becomes lost in the experience of the voice-sound. But the moment doesn't last (fuck) and the anger/frustration returns. I actually have an audio track for this (spoke with guitar) which is kinda creepy-cool.
