Am I the only one who constantly looks for different versions (slower, faster, different tuning, instrumental etc.) of songs? Some of them are fantastic. Maiden slowed down sounds like a perfect doom metal band, for example.
 
I saw something a bit disturbing on my way to work this morning... Someone must have hit a groundhog/gopher (not sure which it was) and it was still alive, lying in the middle of the road, twitching and obviously on it's way out...I hope. I mean, animals get hit every day, I know this. I've even hit 1 or 2 in my life so far but to actually see the animal suffering like that is not a good feeling... Doesn't help when you have a small animal as a pet either... Can't help but think about them suffering like that... :S
 
Never a good feeling. Was there a possibility to get out of the car and end its suffering in some way? I know it sounds brutal, but often the best thing to do in such a situation is to hit the animal in the head with whatever tool you might have at hand.
 
It was on a major road way so noway to be able to do that. I don't know if I could do that... It's not there now so someone did it.

Constantly? No. You're right though, there's some great versions out there. I believe I once posted a version of "Jolene" here before

The world is absurd. No facts govern it. We live well once we truly accept the world's absurdity. YOU give our life's meaning, and YOU control your world. (see Nietzsche for very closely tied beliefs) --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

I don't look for them constantly, but I can really see your point. Plus, it is a nice test of whether a composition is worthwhile. Good songs have qualities that transcend genre and instrumentation.

I don't remember much how I got the sentence "No facts govern it". I do believe in the power of science, but I also feel that life has its absurd sides, both positive and negative. It might depend on how we define absurd in this context, if it means: unexplainable, then I might have answered some questions in a wrong way. I do think that mind and feelings play a dominant role in someone's life, for the better or the worse.
