So many to choose from by Peter Hammill. "Comfortable" seems appropriate.

Though many request deeper, few are equipped to answer the call …

I like it well enough but where's the philosophy?

In the lyrics, in the music, and in the entity the two become as an allegory for the voyage of life. For example, from 8:04 to 8:48, philosophy expresses in the way the individual voices of the many instruments sing out their individual sounds. Allegorically, this is the individual voice expressing within the context of the milieu. Then from 8:48 to 8:59, the individual instrumental voices combine into an all at once introduction for the angelic human voice of Gayle Moran, and with the mind sense you can practically see them advancing towards you. Humans first imitated birds to create language, and then instruments became shadows of the nearest and most basic elemental sound, the human voice you first heard in the womb.

There are lyrics? Trying again. Naw, can't do it. 3 minutes of light jazz is too much to make any lyrics worth it.

You know, I feel the same way about philosophical tombs.

There's only so much time.

Why waste it chasing someone else's tail?

Go chase you own ass.

There's something to be said about light jazz as philosophy, maybe.

Well, here’s a light observation.

A philosopher finds philosophy in everything, not everything in philosophy.

You may quote me, and if you’re fan of dishonest, Biden-style plagiarism, just go ahead and skip any attributions.

I typically strip all quotations of attribution so that the ideas may take precedence.

Interesting. Quite a few people these days never get past the attribution to read the content, let alone comprehend or contemplate the content rather than the source. For instance, a single word such as “Trump” can cause all rational faculties to instantly shut down and cause a previously affable person to begin gibbering, hateful noises that will coagulate into ridiculous proclamations of fantasy and belief. Such are the tragic effects of mass propagandizing. People act like they're under Pavlov's control these days, half a century past alleged North Korean brainwashing.
