I agree that it's weird.

But... you really think that's Se?

I would have thought Se was more like this:

YouTube - I can't drive 55

Well, not to laugh, anyway. And it is difficult.

It could, again, be generational. New wave and new romanticism was quite comparatively introspective at the time; a stylish way of feeling sorry for oneself.

I was thinking about Se in terms of "experiencing life" rather than "extreme experiences", so it worked for me.

That second song's definitely more Se-like though, at least from the video/tune since I can barely tell the words.

All I can think of (no pun intended) is "They're Coming to Take Me Away" but alas, I can't find a video.

How's this for Ni? Or...is it maybe Ne? I'm thinking Ni though.

YouTube - Pink Floyd Brain Damage (aka my favourite pink floyd song ever)

"The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more"

I can't think of any Ti songs. I guess I don't prefer that kind of thing in music.

EDIT: this would be a lot easier to do for types rather than functions.

For me, classical music is Ni, because it's so abstract, and produces imagery in your mind. The tone of music affects your inner impressions and the mental images in your head because of it are nothing directly related to the objective world.

Same goes for any foreign language music, where you cannot understand the words. And since you can't understand them, your subjective interpretation will more likely be of things completely unrelated.

Certain tones of music make you think of flowers and gardens, other tones make you think of demons and monsters.

YES!!! I wholeheartedly agree with you. A very good example of a Ti song.

How is this for a Ne song?

YouTube - eiffel 65 - Blue(Da Ba Dee)

Go ahead and do it for types then, it would still be very interesting.

Here are the lyrics, in case you're curious:

Well, I found one that might have had Ti-ish sounding lyrics (the tune seems to match, but I'm not sure):

YouTube - Thom Yorke - Analyse
