Nietzsche & "The World We Live In" by Sebastian Plano

“This music seems to me to be perfect. It approaches lightly, nimbly, and with courtesy. It is amiable, it does not produce sweat...It is rich, it is precise. It builds, it organizes, it completes.” (6) “The exhausted is allured by what is hurtful; the vegetarian by his pot-herbs. Disease itself may be a stimulus to life: only, a person must be sound enough for such a stimulus! Wagner increases exhaustion; it is on that account that he allures the weak and exhausted." (18) This song by Sebastian Plano is introduced with a sort of morbidity that contains a grace within its pain. It begins to build with a perceivable reverence for the sorrows of both the artist and the listener. Around 2:00, the story told by the keys picks up and the overall body of the song begins to warm while still expressing its mournful disposition. The layering of pain continues to climb incrementally in strength, yet the song feels as if there is some sort of embrace and optimism found within the despair. This disease that Nietzsche speaks of is the pain that the "artist" ultimately accepts and holds onto in order to gather freedom in the midst of his loss.
