Yes, those songs that won’t leave our heads ... it happens... I have not heard that song.. and trailer homes are now called mobile homes.. it’s all in the eye of the beholder...
My wife turned me on to Sammy Kershaw.
I’m still mad at her.
Many bands tune their instruments down a half step or whole step, Van Halen for example, but this only changes where the A note is played on their instruments, but that A note is measured at 440 Hz.
Detuning a half or whole step often has to do with the vocal range of the singer or maybe they just like their music or that song that way or whatever. Changing the key doesn’t change the standard reference.
On the other hand, if their instruments were detuned such that A=432, not 440, then their tuning is no longer referenced to standard tuning, A=440, which which according to theory is itself out of tune with creation.
That’s the theory, anyway. However, given when the standard was changed, and given the century that followed was the century of 3 world wars, 2 hot, 1 cold, I am willing to consider it.
Imagine how irritating it would be if a few instruments in the band were tuned A=440, but the rest of the band was tuned A=432. No matter how great the music or how well it was played, it would be wrong and annoying to listen to.
According to what I’ve read, our ways are not His Ways and modern Western society post 19th century’s music and works have become increasingly wrong, deluded and annoying to the Creator in a greatly accelerated pace. Coicidence? I think not. I think it’s just more of our being manipulated into rebellion, same as always, and the end of the times delusion that the Scriptures speak of.
Sound rules over/manipulates matter. We speak of the “Big Bang” that began the world.
Scriptures say that first there was the Word and from the Word came all of creation.
I note the power of sound seeing both how destructive low and disharmonic frequencies are and how soothing, inspiring and creative higher harmonizing frequencies are on both physical matter and on emotion, so I’m open-minded and I believe in the possibilities and power of sound.
A = 432.
