I like Claudio Monteverdi ‘s “Vespro della Beata Vergine’, Mozart’s “Requiem”, Vivaldi’s “Stabat Mater” and while reading: De Hartmann’s “Music of the Sayyids and the Dervishes”. De Hartmann being one of Gurdieff’s ‘pupils ’. Calming and wonderful music.
As a child of the sixties and seventies I Loved Dylan, Jimi Hendrix , Billie Holliday ,Jacques Brel ,Aznavour and many others.
In 2009 I found (thanks to Laura) “Women who love psychopath s” by Sandra Brown. I ordered her books, read them inside out, made a power point presentation about the 8 psychopath types and off I went to give lectures ,or so I dreamed. I wrote to different organizations for women , made phone calls . Nothing. Nobody interested… So I gave two lectures and paid all the costs myself.
The music ! While getting ready and people (mostly women) came in, there were 6 popular love songs (English, French and Dutch) I had chosen, most of them sung by women.. Three minutes a song in 45minutes, over and over again.
I started by saying: these songs, that some of you are singing along with, are sung by women while the lyrics are written by men. They are all about ‘I need you, you left me, you cheated on me BUT I will always love you’ . The lyrics are quite different when men sing love songs. They don’t say:’ I will follow you, I will change myself , I will dress like HER, I ‘ll shut up, please make love to me.’
HOW COME???,
And then came Sandra Brown’s answer about male AND female psychopaths. :)
