Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Music (The Angels Fly Because They Take Themselves Lightly) lyrics

So also, music
Is a kind of non-purposive thing
Because you don't either play music
To reach a destination
Nor do you dance
To reach a particular place on the floor
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important

Music it is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important

Because after all
If the object of music were
To gain a certain destination
Those orchestras that play fastest would
Be considered the best the best
Dancing and music more than other arts
Represent the nature of this world
The nature of this world that it is playful
That it is sport that it is maybe sincere
But is definitely not serious
And as GK Chesterton put it once
"The Angels fly because they
Take themselves lightly"


Music it is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important music
It is the doing of it
It'self that is important

The angels fly because they
Take themselves lightly
The angels fly because they
Take themselves lightly
The angels fly because they
Take themselves lightly
