I have a post in the pipeline about song titles and albums already, lostinmusic. Sammi, glad you enjoyed the post, I'll try making more of this kind :-) . Jennifer, I'm looking forward to any posts you create, and it's an added bonus for me to know I could help in some way. Hey guys, thanks for your nice responses.

No way on earth it'll teach unmusical me to play an instrument, but I actually can see where it would be a very handy assessment tool for writing a music review (something I could be better at and should practice). I don't think I'd do this when me and the tunes are just kickin' back but I'm absolutely going to try it next time I need to write about a particular song or album -- I'll mention you if I do. Oooo, in fact that just gave me a stellar idea for a post. Cool, thanks. Wow, very cool post.

It reminded me of my introduction to musicianship classes at school. You definitely listen to music in a different way after you're asked to take it apart, and while I don't always like to do it in this fashion when I'm just listening for pleasure, it's good to have this skill as well.

To add to what you have said, I listen to music while I sleep also.... crazy! Anyway I like to listen to serene music at times at night for the few sleepy-aware moments. Arjun, can you write something on the relation between the track title and the music track. I feel this is largely ignored by listeners. I dont see these titles as mere labels to call out the tracks. I feel meditating upon the track title, its meaning and its expression in the track will greatly increase the way one enjoys music. For e.g., in the album YES TO THE RIVER, all track titles needs to be meditated upon.... Chopping Wood, Footsteps of silence, Garden of the beloved (to name some). I'd like you to write upon this, if you feel this worth writing. All the best! your topic is unique and deserves much attention. Something like as important and similar to music critiques...
