00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.660 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:05.730 align:middle line:84%
This is about the
love at the moment

00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:15.260 align:middle line:84%
you pass from grieving to
making some peace with it,

00:00:15.260 --> 00:00:17.705 align:middle line:84%
but worrying whether
there's any life left.

00:00:17.705 --> 00:00:20.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:24.480 align:middle line:84%
And it has a note
in it of the Noh,

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.340 align:middle line:84%
the ancient Japanese classical
theater called the Noh.

00:00:29.340 --> 00:00:35.970 align:middle line:84%
The Noh was invented largely to
make excuse for doing dances.

00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:37.040 align:middle line:90%
And they don't describe--

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:39.960 align:middle line:84%
You look at the text, it
doesn't say what to do.

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.950 align:middle line:84%
It just says and then she went
on the boat across the river

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:47.520 align:middle line:84%
and when she came
out the other side,

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.020 align:middle line:84%
and then it will
just say "dances."

00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.730 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.730 --> 00:00:55.780 align:middle line:84%
And whatever she
does is a dance.

00:00:55.780 --> 00:01:04.510 align:middle line:84%
So, this is about a man, afraid,
maybe he's permanently stalled.

00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:08.280 align:middle line:90%


00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.740 align:middle line:84%
Because I love the
nuances of our heart,

00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:18.180 align:middle line:84%
to say I'm crazy in love
or the bitch dumped me.

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:21.420 align:middle line:90%


00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:25.800 align:middle line:84%
That's real life, but
there's no middle tones.

00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:31.950 align:middle line:84%
It's like telling lime
green from cherry red.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:35.100 align:middle line:84%
And there's a difference,
but it's the middle tones

00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:37.890 align:middle line:90%
that make paintings.

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:45.470 align:middle line:84%
It's the middle tones
that are equity in life

00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:48.870 align:middle line:90%
to see if something comes next.

00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:54.170 align:middle line:84%
This is in a Greek valley, with
the name that you can hardly

00:01:54.170 --> 00:01:55.790 align:middle line:90%
use it's so poetic.

00:01:55.790 --> 00:01:59.820 align:middle line:90%
It's the Valley of the Owls.

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:02.850 align:middle line:84%
And I'm at the
top of the valley.

00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:04.755 align:middle line:90%
To see if something comes next.

00:02:04.755 --> 00:02:07.600 align:middle line:90%


00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:10.889 align:middle line:84%
There is nothing here at
the top of the valley.

00:02:10.889 --> 00:02:14.370 align:middle line:84%
Sky and mountain,
silence and the dry

00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:18.720 align:middle line:84%
smell of heavy sunlight
on the stone everywhere.

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:21.360 align:middle line:90%


00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:26.670 align:middle line:84%
Goats occasionally and the sound
of roosters in the bright heat

00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:29.310 align:middle line:84%
where he lives
with the dead woman

00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:36.690 align:middle line:84%
and purity, trying to see if
something comes next, wondering

00:02:36.690 --> 00:02:38.820 align:middle line:90%
whether he has stalled.

00:02:38.820 --> 00:02:43.140 align:middle line:84%
Maybe he thinks it is
like the Noh: whenever

00:02:43.140 --> 00:02:50.430 align:middle line:84%
the script says dances, whatever
the actor does next is a dance.

00:02:50.430 --> 00:02:55.250 align:middle line:84%
If he stands still,
he is dancing.

00:02:55.250 --> 00:02:56.000 align:middle line:90%
