"If you open your mind too much your brain will fall out"

A great man - a funny man, by the name of Tim Minchin would never take credit for such a great song title, because he read it in a book (ha-ha). So to avoid any mishaps with the law he decided to add the subtitle: (Take my wife) - clever man. In any case, this blog post is not about Tim, but more so the incredible message that comes with the line, "If you open your mind too much your brain will fall out". One can gather several ideas about the message and how it applies to life, but that's too much for a fellow to bare. When we write music, we want so much to harness the perfect sound and one that is unique. That's at least how a songwriter feels when they're young, inexperienced or starving for some progress. Some of the best songs ever written have been spawned from the ideas of those in the past, and similarly some of the best albums are compiled with songs that don't sound all too different. Simplicity is a song writing value that we fight with constantly but want so badly to embrace. Rely on the soul of your messages to speak louder than the divine and undiscovered song we may never find. Stay within yourself so to avoid your brain falling out.
