This song reminded me of Schopenhauer's idea of human will and reveals how dominating desire can be. It's interesting because music to Schopenhauer is the only thing that can quiet our desires and insatiable need to feel satisfied while this song, this music concerns itself so much with the feeling of yearning. So, I chose this song because I think it offers at least a superficial paradox following the perspective of Schopenhauer. However, I then come to realize that while the song concerns itself with expressing this desire for another particular being, that doesn't mean that it doesn't still create this transcendental moment where it is rather the idea of companionship created by Will that the listener then experiences. If that makes sense. In writing this, I now also question whether or not Schopenhauer in his work referring to the effect of music is referring to the experience of listening to music, of creating music or most probably music in of in itself.
