"Musician."

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.420 align:middle line:84%
Neptune, an old man,
blows his pitch pipe,

00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:09.450 align:middle line:84%
and your ear
catches every sound.

00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:11.760 align:middle line:84%
If sounds were a
bag of mixed spices,

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:14.460 align:middle line:84%
you could sort them
out with many foods.

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
If melody were a
great thread mixed

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.710 align:middle line:84%
in with 1,000 other
varied threads,

00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:22.520 align:middle line:84%
you could pick it
out with your eye.

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:25.910 align:middle line:84%
So when you strike an
enormous gong and everyone

00:00:25.910 --> 00:00:29.420 align:middle line:84%
gasps at the overwhelming,
powerful sound,

00:00:29.420 --> 00:00:32.150 align:middle line:90%
you stand listening, rapt.

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:34.940 align:middle line:84%
But not at the
grandeur, rather, you

00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:39.320 align:middle line:84%
are hearing the overtones,
the small pitches of change.

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.960 align:middle line:84%
You can analyze the
wisdom of the bird,

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.500 align:middle line:84%
or the wind blowing through
a broken pane of glass.

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:46.000 align:middle line:90%
