Would rather be out swimming, running, or camping. Works in state government. Spent a youth reading genre-fiction; today, he is making up for it by reading large quantities of non-fiction literature. The fact that truth, in every way, is more fascinating than fiction still tickles him.

One thought on “False’s Four – Creepy Stuff”

  1. If ‘creepy’ means ‘mournful’, then Gorecki’s Third Symphony is at the top of my list for deeply moving funeral art. It opens with the soprano singing a medieval text that seems to speak either to or from the grave: “My son, my chosen and beloved, share your hurts with your mother because, dear son, I have always carried you in my heart, and served your purposes. Speak to your mother to make her happy, although you are already leaving me, my Cherished Hope.”
