Music and Functions

[LordPwnage]

Sorry if this has been done before, but I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone can think of songs that relate to specific functions. For example:

-----------------------------------------

YouTube - Mad World- Gary Jules

Mad World by Gary Jules seems very Fi

------------------------------------------

So if anybody can think of any, please post them here.

"Mad World" is by Tears for Fears, whose recording is far superior.

But I agree: very Fi.

 

[GZA]

Far superior? Nah. Its alright, but I still think the Gary Jules one gets the feeling better.

That music video is a joke, too The guys dancing... blah, no good. Damn 80's

 

[Athenian200]

This one seems "N" in a way... possibly Ni. What do you think?

YouTube - Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

 

[Randomnity]

I like that song. Fi-ish songs are probably pretty common.

This one seems Fi to me too (I love this song, but this particular version is kinda crappy)

YouTube - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge

 

[htb]

You would have had to have lived in the Eighties, GZA, to understand.

Gary Jules' performance, I'll add, is Fe -- unctuous. He gets the impression right but lacks the sincerity of Orzabal and Smith.

Edit: Faultless musical selections so far. Bjork, "Army of Me" -- Ne amok.

This one seems "N" in a way... possibly Ni. What do you think?

YouTube - Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

The song itself makes me think of Se, actually, although I see Ni in it too, now that you point that out. That video is really weird.

 

[LordPwnage]

"Mad World" is by Tears for Fears, whose recording is far superior.

But I agree: very Fi.

I know it was originally by Tff, but the original seems much less Fi.

 

[GZA]

You would have had to have lived in the Eighties, GZA, to understand.

What, those dance moves?

But its not like the people now have better moves. I don't like the people now either. Soulja Boy *pukes bile*

 

[LordPwnage]

Can anyone think of a Ti song?

 

[Athenian200]

The song itself makes me think of Se, actually, although I see Ni in it too, now that you point that out. That video is really weird.

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

 

[htb]

What, those dance moves?

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

I know it was originally by Tff, but the original seems much less Fi.

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.

 

[Randomnity]

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

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.

 

[SolitaryPenguin]

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

 

[htb]

Can anyone think of a Ti song?

Daft Punk, "Around the World." Costume choices are arbitrary, choreography is a means to an end. What matters is the precision of what may as well be an automation.

 

[Randomnity]

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.

 

[The Ü™]

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.

 

[LordPwnage]

How is this for a Ne song?

YouTube - eiffel 65 - Blue(Da Ba Dee)

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

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

 

[Athenian200]

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

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

Sammy Hagar: I Can't Drive 55 Lyrics

Can anyone think of a Ti song?

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
