[Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Oh My God Isn't That Gorgeous? lyrics]
We have specialized
In a certain kind of awareness
That makes us neglectful of that you see
We specialize in more or less briefly
Concentrated pinpoint attention
We look at this and we look at that
And we select from all the things
We might possibly
Be aware of only certain things
And as a result of that we
Leave out of our everyday consciousness
One amazing beauty of experience
That we never
See at all, and on the other hand
The very deep thing, the sense of our
Basic identity, unity with
Oneness with the total process of being
See, because we are staring, as it were
At certain features of the landscape
We don’t see the background
And because we get fascinated with, you know
I could
Go into details of this shell, as I said
And put myself in the mind
Of a conch – or whatever it
Is that lives in this thing
And say, "Hm, that’s not so
Hot that one" Like that, see?
And so I wouldn’t see the whole thing
But when I look at it like this
When anybody looks
At it like that, we say, "Oh my God
Isn’t that gorgeous!"
(Oh my God, isn’t that gorgeous)
(Oh my God, isn’t that gorgeous)
(Oh my God, isn’t that gorgeous)
In a certain kind of awareness
That makes us neglectful of that you see
We specialize in more or less briefly
Concentrated pinpoint attention
We look at this and we look at that
And we select from all the things
We might possibly
Be aware of only certain things
And as a result of that we
Leave out of our everyday consciousness
One amazing beauty of experience
That we never
See at all, and on the other hand
The very deep thing, the sense of our
Basic identity, unity with
Oneness with the total process of being
See, because we are staring, as it were
At certain features of the landscape
We don’t see the background
And because we get fascinated with, you know

(Oh my God, isn’t that gorgeous)
(Oh my God, isn’t that gorgeous)
