The Curse of Pride song - brick by stubborn brick, the wall of silence grew high

We built a fortress out of principles and pride, believing it would keep us safe. Instead, it kept us apart, brick by stubborn brick, until neither of us could bridge the divide. We traded the warmth of a simple touch for the cold, empty comfort of being right. This poem by Tony Nahra is based on the book Symbiote Overman ( https://SymbioteOverman.com ) About me: Fusing the divine, systemic architecture of Bach with the emotive force of Romantic giants—led by my absolute favorite, Schubert, alongside Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Beethoven—and the rich textures of Cossack, Oriental, Persian, and Eastern European music, this track is a sonic exploration of radical optimism. As an electrical and systems engineer, my curiosity about evolution and its parallels with modern technology actively shapes my sound. Philosophically, I am endlessly amazed by Schopenhauer's profound exposition of the "Will to Live," which, alongside the frameworks of Nietzsche and Plato, drives the pulse of this music. Rather than descending into pessimism, I channel this relentless evolutionary drive into a triumphant Amor Fati—a fierce and unconditional embrace of our fate. Ultimately, this music is a celebration of our "Cosmic Luck": the breathtaking improbability that we are the smartest creatures on Earth, living in the best of times, briefly awake in a vast, silent cosmos composed mostly of dead hydrogen and helium.
