Authenticy is what arts want. Just with that you can reach people deep inside. Removing something inside themselves that they even could have forgotten but even the most blind sees again, at least for a while.

I can't understand all of the speech, but most. And it's close to "art" or maybe it's art. "Half of what I say is meaningless but I say it just to reach you" Beatles... We human beings feel all the same, sadness is in everyone, happiness too, compassion too... and putting that in front of somebody is art. Even the most cruel one can be influenced by a beautiful creation.

If it was for me the people in prison would have a lot of art around. To arise them feelings that make them see other feelings are possible...

Music is empty and meaningless unless it sparks a feeling in the listener. Then it becomes art instead of just "organized sound". Same could be a speech or a blog... Some writers are more "scientific-analytic" and write in more of a cold way.... and some are more "artistics-intuitive". Well, we need Newtons and we need Shakespeares.

I think he mentions songs in children. I repeat myself about songs... cause I think they're the deepest thing of human expression and communication. Music melodies go to our subconscious and spark something encoded into it... and makes us live a feeling without having any... cause for that feeling.
And the lyrics are not so important, they go along with the music... naturally. Everyone knows what a song means in spite it's sung in a foreing language.
Well, not everyone, some sensitivy is required... and lyrics help.

The art is not analitical, I mean, an artistic post rarely could go to long explanations and statements. It would have to be all sum in simple and short words, like famous quotes are.

That man was like not giving arguements really but being artistic and trying to cause feelings. A bit like some James Stewart roles in movies.

I can not say it better. I want to tell it "like I feel it". and then perhaps you'll feel it too. (Without any rationalization at all)
