Oh sweet Jesus on a stick..!

My head is spinnin' :)

Sincerely hope that is a good thing. ^_^ Great to hear from you again, Vodka.

Whoa, I was reading about AS on wikipedia while I was listening to this- sort of trying to fabricate an interpretation of how this piece could "speak" for autism (in a manner of speaking). Particularly the aspects of restricted interests and repetitive behavior- as well as the tendency to exhibit an unusual level of focus on particular concepts and conversations- and right as that part just before 3 minutes came in, (you know, where it sort of like slows down, and the pitch gets real low) I thought something along the lines of "wow, if I had AS, the song so far would be a one-sided conversation about something I find interesting, and then that sudden sound-warping effect would be like someone else trying to say something, totally derailing my train of thought". And then it started to even out, and get a little clearer, and I was like "ok, so here's where I'd be getting my thoughts back on track- I feel comfortable again". Then later, it warped again, except it was an upward shift this time, and I was thinking, (still in the empathized state of mind of someone with asperger's) "ugh, there it goes again- that's really annoying, but not quite as disturbing as last time".
After that, throughout the rest of the track, there were increasingly more and more frequent shifts and "warping" sounds, and I thought "this seems to be getting easier to listen to (the shifting sounds, that is)- if I were a person with AS, the whole end of this song would be like 'overcoming' the discomfort, and getting used to the idea that other people have things they want to say to. I felt like- if I had AS- this part of the song would be me getting over the occurrence of unexpected shifts in focus that happen everyday, in every conversation, every interaction, and every situation." Even the warping effects by this point in the song- literally- didn't seem to be cutting into the melody quite so much, such that I felt like I could really just groove to it, and not have to worry about those compositional "interruptions"- which were initially- a little disturbing, so to speak, on an aesthetic level.
Needless to say, this is an awesome piece, and even better given my newfound association with my interpretation. I don't know if you intended the song to come across in all those ways, but it did to me- so I say, two thumbs and a big toe up for making me feel something significant for music. I just wish everybody could listen to music for the sake of emotion.

I have Asperger's too
