Still working on "Summer of Love Songs." You can learn the chords. You can learn the lyrics. You can play and sing the songs, but then you come up against freaky, amazing natural phenomena, kind of like heavy weather that just can't be replicated.
I'm speaking of such awesome and daunting sounds such as Nico's or Grace Slick's voices. Two amazing forces of nature for sure. Or how about John Entwhistle's unique bass technique? It's like he picked up the instrument and invented a new way to play it. Or Keith Moon's weird, over the top, unlike anyone in the universe drum-playing?
You can learn the steps. But it just isn't the same.
Even though you've heard their songs over and over year after year, if you really listen to them with fresh ears, you experience these things as just amazing, unique, sounds created by one of a kind people. Thrilling.
