Okay I propose you link to any song you think encapsulates the qualities of each hexagram. Starting of course with hexagram 1.

I know its a cheesy idea but it could be fun and i get to hear and see lots of different music videos :D

Okay Hexagram One hmmm I can't think of anything... we should be able to put Hilary playing her cello somewhere (if it is a cello)

Is this going to be chronological or just random? Don't suppose it matters really. Lotta fun finding old music I'd forgotten about. Nice way to spend my coffee breaks. :)

Hey I got alot to catch up watching here :) I'd thought we should do it chronologically because I think it then becomes a bit more than just fun. Seeing how others link hexagram themes to songs help me connect with meanings of them in a different way - that maybe i hadn't thought of before.

I think that is because music is on the feeling level thats hard to communicate in words. So watching your first link Topal I get to feel how you feel about hexagram one, which enriches my own mental landscape of what 1 is all about :D and it did, that video was soo hex 1 yet I wouldn't have thought of that myself.

If we go through chronologically I think its harder but possibly more enriching.. after 2 or 3 or 4 different peoples connections to one hexagram i think we get quite a rounded picture of how others feel the hexagram. Then again maybe that just wouldn't work, I don't know, maybe random is best ?

Then again I can't think of many meaningful musical connections myself. The first thought that sprang to mind for hex 1 was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4W14jLmADU purely cos it has a dragon in it

Make sure you sing along :rolling:


Of course according to the comments some people said this song was about drugs not a dragon. But the songwriter said it was about a dragon lol

Puff the magic Dragon sounds like 1.6 to me. "Dragons live forever, but not so little boys..."

LOL :rolling: I love this song! Of course, it's easy to think that the guy was absolutely off his head when he composed it (the lyrics!) but it's apparently based on a Leonard Lipton poem as I remember.

I'm for doing it chronologically as then it would be much easier for people to access later on and it just makes for a certain progression that can be pleasing. It can be a musical version of Rosada's memorizing thread. Whoo-hoo.

So what about Hex 2? How could we miss that?

What about this brooding track bursting with receptive potential.....Let it build up and wash over you...

Perhaps when we're done the list could be put in numerical order.

52. Sounds of Silence.

That's a probably a good idea. Then people won't feel restricted and it can be more spontaneous. I'll be happy to do compile that list.

Btw Rosada if to include the link just go to Youtube type in your selection and then copy and past the link when it comes up. Et voila!

And folks can go for the melody and feeling of the music as the primary mover rather than just the title - or both!

Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
Ill be here til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
Youre happy when Im on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecisions bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you dont want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly whom Im supposed to be
Diga me que tengo ser
Dont you know which clothes even fit me?
saves que robas me querda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
me debo ir o quedarme?

Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me frio o lo sophlo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voi - va ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
yo me frio o lo sophlo?

This is all fun, but I'm having a repeated problem with the links that a lot of people are posting. I keep getting this irritating message from Youtube:

"We're sorry. This video is no longer available."

Question: are you actually trying out the links you're posting to see if they still launch a tune at Youtube?

Yes, it certainly could be that. I check the videos I'm posting before posting them, they all worked fine.
