Here is a little musical challenge.
Read these for context:

Then listen carefully.

^ Facinating background, I'll make sure to listen to it when I get home. Thanks.

is only one defense: the creative act.

Really, I think context is very important in music. It helps the understanding and enjoyment of it if you know something about the history of the period; the life of the composer; the background to the composition. I like making didactic posts but I suspect it annoys the hell out of people. Sorry.

Johannes Brahms - Lullaby

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t894eGoymio&feature=player_embedded

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
