In an effort to develop "Research Genius" I'm experimenting with certain "types" of interesting metadata layers that can be applied to individual annotations. This is an emotional sequencing of an emotional song. What can we do with this data?
My assertion is that emotion is created by "meaning fields" in the elements. So I will be describing "blatant meaning fields" in the 'Genius Annotations' and background meaning fields created in language in the "personal annotations"; these would be considered the overtones of mind-music (recorded thoughts).
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds "Brompton Oratory":
Up those stone steps I climb
Hail this joyful day's return
Into its great shadowed vault I go
Hail the Pentecostal morn
The reading is from Luke 24
Where Christ returns to his loved ones
I look at the stone apostles
Think that it's alright for some
And I wish that I was made of stone
So that I would not have to see
A beauty impossible to define
A beauty impossible to believe
A beauty impossible to endure
The blood imparted in little sips
The smell of you still on my hands
As I bring the cup up to my lips
No God up in the sky
No devil beneath the sea
Could do the job that you did, baby
Of bringing me to my knees
Outside I sit on the stone steps
With nothing much to do
Forlorn and exhausted, baby
By the absence of you
