Need Transcendentalist Music Ideas
Anonymous:
I am creating a lesson on Transcendentalism... I need a music model. Any ideas for a great song that is emblematic of transcendentalist philosophy? Lyrics about non-conformity, social justice, individualism or any other transcendental themes - something that screams out ideas posited by Henry David Thoreau or Ralph Waldo Emerson...
Sorry to bother you - I can't hear music well (near deaf) and need some help! Gracias!

A good place to begin would be with Q. Lazzarus' "Goodbye Horses." Not just the Buffalo Bill theme, this is an awesome song about transcendence over a realization of the world that is merely finite and temporal. The "horses" represent the five senses from sanatana-dharma philosophy (Bhagavad-Gita 6:34). In lifting one’s perception above physical limitations, beyond this Earthly perspective, one can thereby realize The Transcendence.

The meaning: In an Eastern philosophy "horses" are symbolic/representative of the 5 senses - the things that keep us tied to the physical/material plane of existence. When you can transcend the limitations of these senses and achieve a higher level of consciousness, you are leaving the "horses" behind - "flying over them." The song is about someone who was so affected by (A loss? A breakup?) they decide to give up the things that keep them tied to this world by emotion.

Bob Marley. "The Mighty God is a Livin man". That's pretty transcendental.
In the way I'm lookin, it seems like the whole rasta trip is biblical transcendentalism, or somethin...in a way.
Right On man. :poison: O0 :poison:
