Truth Music - Mega-Thread

[Leo Gura]

Leo's style is about clarity in what he's saying and Distilling things  I also prefer that style and most of the time my whole life when listening to music I basically have no idea what they're talking about lol. I figured truth music would not be obscure.

More subtle lyrics would be better. An epistemology lecture is not the right way for music. It's gotta be more mysterious and implicit.

You could write a song about truth-seeking so that normies wouldn't even understand what it's about. Until they start their own inquiry.

You also gotta include the emotional agony and beauty of the work. Like how people in songs whine about their romantic struggles.

@Girzo @Leo Gura adding story telling And personal struggle is a good insight.

It’s going to be challenging.

“Higher Perspective” lyrics I view it as talking smack with epistemology.

“Your certainty is a weakness, not a sign of health.”. It use “You” language to talk to the fool. Like telling someone off.

I just downloaded the app and created an account. Let’s C what happens

Imagine if Taylor Swift sang about truth-seeking the way she sings about her newest boyfriend.

You can’t use real artists names in your prompts. Suno will stop generating the song. The workaround is to re-type as T*ylor S*ift and it works!

 

Quote

Oh truth oh light you found me as I fell

A love so vast it swallowed my shell

You showed me galaxies that burned within

An infinite spark where life begins

Hearing her sing this is unreal!

My song still in process has no lyrics. It's called: "The Human Dream"

It tries to encapsulate the scope and breath of human experiences, in an unfoldment continuum from birth to death.

Lyrics

 

A vial of hope and a vial of pain

In the light they both looked the same

Poured them out on into the world

On every boy and every girl

 

It's in the neon Bible, the neon Bible

Not much chance for survival

If the neon Bible is right

 

Take the poison of your age

Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page

What I know is what you know is right

In the city it's the only light

 

It's the neon Bible, the neon Bible

Not much chance for survival

If the Neon Bible is right

 

Oh God! well look at you now!

Oh, you lost it but you don't know how

In the light of a golden calf

Oh God, I had to laugh

 

Take the poison of your age

Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page

It was wrong but you said it was right

In the future I will read at night

 

In the neon Bible, the neon Bible

Not much chance for survival

If the Neon Bible is true

(I am not here)

Lyrics

The king's taken back the throne
The useless seed was sown
When they say they're cutting off the phone
Then tell 'em you're not home

No place to hide
You'll find there's a soldier on their side
You're still a soldier in your mind
But nothing's on the line

You say it's money that we need
As if we're the only mouths to feed
I know that no matter what you say
There are some debts we never pay

Working for the church while your family dies
You take what they give you
And you keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone

I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
Don't want to fight, don't want to die
Just want to hear you cry

Who's gonna throw the very first stone
Oh, who's gonna re set the bone
Walking with your hand in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while my family dies
You're little baby sister's gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone

I can taste your fear
It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here
If the bone shot never heals
I cannot make him yield

You can't find me now
But they're gonna get their money back somehow
And when you finally disappear
We'll just say you were never here

Been working for the church while your life falls apart
They're singing hallelujah when defeating your heart
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone
Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone

(Arcade fire has been doing Truth seeking music for years) 

 

[Verse 1]
I woke up with the power out
Not really something to shout about
Ice has covered up my parents' hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are swinging from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds

[Verse 2]
I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shouting that they found the light
(We found the light!)
Shadows jumping all over my walls
Some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!

[Chorus]
Hoo-oo

[Verse 3]
Ice has covered up my parents' hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
Growing up in some strange storm
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are dying out in the snow
Look at them go, look at them go!

[Chorus]
Hoo-oo
Hoo-oo
Hoo-oo
Oo-oo

[Bridge]
And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand, hand
What's the plan?
What's the plan?

[Verse 4]
Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide
Just light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!
Because nothing's hid
From us kids!
You ain't fooling nobody
With the lights out!

[Outro]
And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
And there's something wrong in the heart of man
You take it from your heart and put it in your hand!
Where'd you go?

A demo of a truth seeking song of my own 

Who is at the helm?
Oh, who is at the helm?
Is it the wise one?
Or is it the child then

They say the intellect sits down 
On the seat of emotion 
Begin to question

Everything you read, babe
Everything you see, babe
Everything you know, babe
Everything you don’t, babe

You say your sick and broken down
And you can’t get out of bed
So what’s free will then?
Thought I heard you judge them…

Begin to question....

Everything you read, babe
Everything you see, babe
Everything you know, babe
Everything you don’t, babe

@Thought Art Nice man! Love it, but I noticed you only play sad songs, it breaks my heart. 😭

[Thought Art]

@integral Haha, not true. I haven't put out a lot of the songs I've written. My new songs are happier! 

I am focused on Qigong right now. I just sold my first high ticket Beta program. Been building it the last 4 weeks with my first client.  So, busy with that....

Soon, I will release more music! I've got so many written I just gotta record em.

@integral I love sad songs though tbh! 

Heh

I am not here though 

I forgot about that song. My self love and appreciate of my own art has really healed and improved lately. I love that song and wanna record it well. I love the lyrics:

Begin to question....

Everything you read, babe
Everything you see, babe
Everything you know, babe
Everything you don’t, babe

and the bluesy feel.

@integral I’m full of paradoxical things.

[Grateful Dead]

An absolute masterpiece of Truth music, unfortunately for you guys the lyrics are in German.

So, are we all here? Great
Then let's all take a look at each other
We'll start on three
Three
Good morning, mankind, he calls himself the captain
He's come to rap riddles for you
Riddle one: who are you? Have you figured it out yet?
Whoever knows the answer raises their hand now
Here, here, me, me
Wrong, my friend (ooh)
It seems you missed the best subject
Namely: Self-study or egoology
Subject of your own private academy
So catch up, get undressed, back straight, head up
Get your notebook out, I'll dictate the Brockhaus to you
Are you ready? Then it starts, take off your skirt
Because if you tear your ass open, I'll pull the stick out of there
Because it's 1-2, ding-dong, super duper questions fred
He asks you laser questions, has a suit with the letter F on it
And a small backpack full of questions questions questions
Questions questions questions questions questions questions questions questions questions
And he asks you them until your bladder bursts
His name is existence, he's probably having fun
Because without fun even asking isn't fun
It has to be fun for him, otherwise it's no fun
So this song doesn't make any sense at all
No fun without fun? Where's the logic in that? So, if you come with questions and want an answer
Then please remain serious while you ask
So away from the fun and back to the point
Who am I, what are you, is there a master, is there a dog
Is the search for the reason unhealthy for the brain? Or why do so many people here take it for granted

There are no puzzles, go back to your job

You are what you do, so don't act as if

There is still something to find out about us

Presumptuous and childish, go out and live

The only realization of man is called a career

And so we withdraw from the puzzle affair

And don't allow ourselves to be our own boss

We allow ourselves to be dominated by games determined by others

Like studies, jobs, children, houses, movies and TV quizzes

What has to be done, has to be done, because it is what it is

Well then run around, shop, watch TV, drink wine

Pull the blanket over your head and start screaming quietly

The captain wishes you a pleasant trip

At his next picnic he will take you hostage

And then he will get you fit and empty your glass

And then he will pump it full of spring water fun

Yes, so pure and so clear and so fresh and so fine
He pours in the crème de la crème of frequency
What? Oh how crazy, oh my God, what is that? A strange freak tells me something about fun
So, thoroughly examined: does his sleeve have an ace in the hole
Or is the metaphorical barrel
That you're opening here like a party without a guest
As pointless and shallow as a house without a roof
Don't tell me anything about existence, don't tell me anything about fun
And don't fill my glass with it
Don't give yourself the authority to tell people so unashamedly and bluntly
Ball flat, heart open, I want to torture you with love
He brings us love, quickly shoot him
Now we'll dance our worries out of our collars together
And then we run out into the street and we scream our questions
Full throttle into the garden and endure
That the neighbors have no sense of humor for questions
And never ever despair, even if we have scars
If we never complained, this shit would get to me up to my neck too
If we still had every one of you freaks
On our two naked, modest and much too small

colorful children's shoulders

And will plague you until we die with thousands and thousands

armies of unsolved existential questions

Ding ding ding (round two, may the better question win)

For example: why at all? And why? And what for?

Why all this, am I warm, am you cold?

Am I stupid, are you clever, am I bad, am I well?

Do we know far too much or do we not know enough?

I only know one thing, and I know that you know it too

Education is memory that mostly revolves around itself

Intelligence has nothing to do with memory

Was that called hen or chicken in 1930?

Or emperor or king, farmer or maid?

Or country, republic, monarchy or state?

I really don't want to say anything against factual knowledge? But we have to expand and venture into other areas
Because 90 percent of school work
Is learning by heart without inner reinforcement
The things we need like courage, intuition
Fear management and communication
Breathing techniques and muscle relaxation
Why isn't that a subject, these things would be worthwhile
Attention, attention, class
Now that we've all taken a look at ourselves
Let's take a deep breath through the same and shout three times
Hurrah, I'm a happy Homo Sapiens
Hurrah, I'm a happy Homo Sapiens
And if you start telling me now
You would lack realism in this stuff
Then unfortunately I can't react in any other way than with laughter
Because reality is not fixed, reality is created
By you and by me and by us and by everyone
We throw away the know-it-all and do the fallen
Try this life of ours for once
Let go and affirm the shit positively
And we don't always blame others
Stop cursing ourselves and practice patience
Let's all get over the shit with failure and guilt
It feels like: we are overfilled with values
Let's empty our heads and start again from scratch
Throw our old life off our shoulders
Let's accept what we are and find ourselves anew
Let's unite with everything, separate the wheat from the chaff
Become everyone's student, our own master
Let's relax completely for once and awaken our Ghosts
And once they're awake in the welcome club
Once we've awakened them, we'll never get enough
Yes, then we'll relax, because we know we've got time
Because together with the dudes, the journey isn't far anymore
And then we'll ask each other questions until we puke
And stare out of newborn baby eyes
We'll do it until it has an effect
Until our cramps are released and our sick bodies heal
And our spirits, freed from suffering, spread themselves unashamedly around the room
And hand out freshly brewed coffee and a free cookie
Oh, thank you! Sugar, milk? Er, both. No problem
And then we'll stroke each other's brains tenderly and
Finally offer our devils a friendly face and
How can they be released into a ball of light?
We'll create this together, don't be afraid either
And put your finger in the wound! Cock on the table
Heart on the tongue, the cards are shuffled
We can play pride and honor for another hundred years
You started it, no you, let's start a war
So we're not getting anywhere, every child knows that
It's time for harmony, my friend, otherwise we'll die blind
Celebrate the shit, too, as weird as it sounds
And just dance to every song that swings
And applaud every thing that's alive
That stands in the corners, apparently lifeless and motionless
Because everything you see is permeated by life
It's the same life that planets float through
It's the same life in uncles as in aunts
It's the same life in a street hydrant
The same life swings in water as in bread
And the same life lives in joy as in need
The same life rages in white and in red
And in ice and in shit and in duty and prohibition
And it's the same life in life as in death
In zero as the One as in the shadow and in the light
Incidentally, the solution to the riddle is

[Sincerity]

Surprised no one posted this yet.

This is solid stuff brother, I like it!! It has a nice groove and a chilled vibe. I would definitely listen to more from you.

Maybe we should have a creative sub-forum.

Lyrics

Quote

Welcome to Metaphysics [Verse 1] Welcome to metaphysics, have a look around Any proof of God you think of can be found We've got mountains of arguments, some better, some worse If none of them convince you, you're hardly the first Welcome to philosophy, take the cosmic test Would you like some teleology or Pascal's wager instead? There's no need to panic, just use your big brain Nod your head or roll your eyes, we'll show you more again [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Verse 2] Be theist, be atheist, be bursting with doubt We've got a million different ways to figure it out Welcome to the cosmos, put your faith aside Here's a fine-tuned constant, here's where logic died We've got Kant and Aquinas and ontology galore And a bunch of complex arguments that you've all heard before "The universe needed a cause!" "No it didn't, you fool!" Cosmological arguments make everyone drool [Bridge] See the world as conscious, see it as a void See your own assumptions carefully deployed Start with mind or matter, choose your starting place Send a prayer to nowhere, stare into space Here's why causality must terminate somewhere Here's why infinite regress is something you should fear Which philosophical proof are you? Take this quirky quiz God sneezed the universe into existence just like this [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Verse 3] You know it wasn't always this complex Back before we started asking "what comes next?" Before Descartes and Aristotle had their say We just pointed at the sky on a stormy day We set our sights and spent our nights waiting for a sign You philosophical, analytical, you so skeptical Mommy let you read some Nietzsche when you were barely grown And it did all the things philosophy is known to do Now look at you, oh look at you Your mind is blown, your thoughts have flown Higher than before, but certain of even less than when you began [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine [Chorus] Could I interest you in everything divine? A little bit of God-talk all of the time Certainty's a fantasy and doubt is sublime Anything and everything might be divine

I'm not into musicals but this one has a beautiful chorus.

If I had more creative control I could polish this into a masterpiece.

Quote

[Verse 1] God you're beautiful, hit me like a wave I felt my world exploding, nothing's the same I connected dots I couldn't see before My universe transformed down to its core [Chorus] I'm drowning in these flashes from inside Breaking through illusions I've been sold I'm not searching anymore, just letting go The truth was always here but now I know [Verse 2] I tried to force understanding with my will But insight came when I finally went still My mind lit up with sudden inner fire When dots connected, raised me even higher [Bridge] I let my thoughts both wander and focus deep Silenced all distractions, let beauty sweep I questioned everything I thought was true That's how my broken world was born anew [Verse 3] I see connections everywhere I look Reality unfolding, me getting shook My consciousness exploring its own face The beauty of this moment I embrace [Chorus] I'm drowning in these flashes from inside Breaking through illusions I've been sold I'm not searching anymore, just letting go The truth was always here but now I know [Outro] I'm swimming in an ocean of pure sight Mysteries revealing in flashes of light My mind reflecting back upon itself This love and beauty can't be found in wealth
