Ha! I was listening to music for inspiration, like one of the videos my daughter watches where a guy walks around observing things for inspiration.
Anyhow, the song She's So High came on and my first reflex is always laughter. I do not really get that joke, but I laugh nonetheless. I was thinking about the song wondering what other side tracks it might lead me on, when I remembered how nearly every interviewer asked who the song was written for...one snarky chick said, " oh, it's alright if you tell. I don't mind." Tee hee hee.
Of course, The author/composer (Tal Bachman) needed to answer that it was for his wife, cause he married her, right. But, truth is that doesn't actually matter anyhow. Sort of like how who Beethoven's Immortal Beloved is makes actually no difference. It is a captured genius and that is what matters. Men will always have a deep respect (almost fear) regarding a companion and when it is expressed it tends to fascinate the imagination, and the whole world seemed obsessed with knowing who deserved such great respect and reverence so I wanted to answer it clearly and set the record straight as to who this "muse" is.
Call it what you will. It is inspiration personified and to both of these genius caliber musicians (Beethoven and Tal Bachman) it was a lover, well yeah, duh. We all love truth, and those men who seek to posses it give it the gender of female and females refer to it as a man. (Side note: My Grandpa Babcock referred to each truck, car, tractor, etc, as a female IE: "Let's see what she does. or give her a bit of gas." )
The rest of us will find a name and it will suffice for a while, but it will not be correct.
There, I said my piece.
