Electric Bass. Fretless. Prefer Jazz and classical music but will listen to just about anything. Thank you for asking.
"Meaning" is only something we give to things
My point is that "meaning" is not a physical thing. Yet it is real. If we could only detect that which is physical there would be no mathematics or metaphysics or philosophy, or scientific explantions, and a host of other non-material things, and this sentence I'm typing would be completely unintelligible.
Cordially,

I (obviously) play guitar, some banjo, and a little mandolin and harmonica. I listen to most types of music too; jazz and classical, though I love them, are a little beyond my present capabilities. Even though I grew up listening to rock and heavy metal, I have since gravitated far more to traditional country and blues. Lyrically I have a hard time relating to much of the rock I listened too as a teen. At my age (34) I want a little more. Ironically, some of my favorite songs are bluegrass gospel. I love the harmonies and the seriousness of the lyric, even if I don't always agree with it. *Wayfaring Stranger* is probably my favorite song.
As far the rest of what we discussed, let's just leave it and agree to disagree. Much better to end a thread talking about music. :)
