Truth is :

's work is never boring, but some people choose to be bored..

Did U listen to it? It isn't him singing in the one I saw. And, if it is boring to me that is just my opinion, right? I'm not like some who are stuck on every little bubble that poops out of his butt! lmao

Reality is:

Be yourself, and you will never be bored

It is also human nature, unfortunately... and this pattern was taught to all of us long before we were even born. Good point, though. smile

I was never bored a single minute of my life.

Life is a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves.

Inspiration and creation are very dear friends of mine

I can't say I get bored a lot, because I don't. I have written over ten thousand songs and still write. However, having a 3 month old daughter puts some time constraints on me. Also, dealing with two herniated discs in my back can cause some boredom because of having to continuously take pain meds that leaves me feeling like a vegetable... but I pulls it all together and out of that funk... smile

timeout Uhm..guys, on the topic of "Which one is bored...more?" lol Is there anyway you guys could take that battle to orgnotes and get back on topic? Just a gentle suggestion... innocent boxed

So anyway, about "Black Muse"...what do you think the song is about? I don't quite "get" the lyrics, but somehow, some of lyrics seem to be referencing religion. What do you think 9077355 and Truth444? biggrin

Right, your boredom has nothing to do with BLACK MUSE

(if you got a reply feel free to orgnote me about it, and leave the thread alone, it obviously is not for you)

yes I was thinking that too at first, though the lyrix says your father, not our father,

but then again - our is a part of y-our.

What do you think the place refers to ?

Could be a reference to "Heaven" or if from a JW perspective.."Paradise". My question is, who or what is the "Black Muse" referenced in the song? A muse is one who inspires another or one where inspiration is drawn from towards another.

Actually I'm not sure. I would have to read the lyrics to "Sticky Like Glue" to determine that.

Coffee would be the first thing the listener thinks he means, when he states that in the line of "Sticky Like Glue", however, I can't think of any other form of "black" liquid he could be referring to in that line, if it's not coffee, but the track "Sticky Like Glue" is obviously about someone who is dear/close to him.

Okay, you just lost me on that one, but not a bad observation, but yes if you combine the two songs together, it does give the impression both songs are about someone dear/close to his heart/soul, that he doesn't like leaving behind.
