This myth states that it’s OK to use copyrighted materials as long as you provide appropriate attribution to the original artist. It doesn’t matter if you use one second or an entire song, if you have not secured the rights to use a piece of copyrighted media, you are not allowed to use it in any form. Myth #1: The 30-second ruleĪ common misconception around copyrighted music is that it’s OK to use it as long as you use 30 seconds or less. I’ll start by debunking some common myths around the use of copyrighted materials. Maneuvering copyrighted material can be important as you choose the sounds and clips you want to include in your production, since you don’t want to open yourself up to potential litigation. I will be outlining the rules around use of music, sound effects, and media clips in your podcast. The second-to-last stanza is great - It's very vivid, and while it uses complex language, does not sound haughty or self-important (which is kind of true of all Bad Religion's songs - Maybe it's Greg's delivery, but they use big words not just to sound smart).This is my final article on narrative podcast learning. "The air is thin / up on a mountain" might also refer to where observatories are located (high, where the air is thin), and possibly where those raptors (the birds) are. The way planets move (gravity) can tell us where satellites, other planets, or stars are. "The conversation of impassive planets intercepted by a human being" I suppose it also is about more Eastern ideas of spirituality, where no one person or one thing can tell you the path to enlightenment, only guide you. "No one here can show you where it is but I can point to a sign" - Almost obviously, it refers to when stars were used for navigation. I had always it was about the sense of majesty and wonderment you get when stargazing. General CommentI had never thought about this song in terms of spirituality, but that makes sense. The last verse is about just stepping back, wiping the slate of human expectation and start over looking for "a probity by which to abide" (I am almost positive the "raptor" in question here is not the 3 foot tall dinosaur but the more modern kind. The second to last verse is (IMHO) obviously about a person's insignificance and the wonder the world inspires. "The air is thin, the future dim, dimension hard to find " When talking about wether or not you get your morals from a godly manifectation or logical thinking it goes to say that none of it helps much. It seems to me that this song brings a sense of insignificance and even a bit of hopeless-ness. Though I am not sure about "Indian Buddhism". I agree with xvpatchvx that this song is a more emotional than political or social commentary. While the obscure lyrics are very much his style the use of so many large/obscure words is not at all common for him. General CommentI find it unlikely that Bret wrote this alone. This song is Bretts take on Eastern philosophy (and existentialism). This song also implies that the only way to find spiritual fullfillment is by rupdiating human flaws, or the overall "Maya" of the world.

Herman Hesse is known for comparing these kinds of philosophies and spirtual observations with "geometric shapes, lines, music, and magic of the imagination" "Where the Raptor goes" could mean extinction, but, it could also play upon the previous passage of a "raptor, guileless shivering intensity".īesides the confusing, cosmic associations of the lyrics, this song reminds mostly of existential philosophy and Indian Buddhism. This is basically a good summary of the best song on BR's new record.
CLIPSY SONGS CODE
It’s about finding hope and a basis for a moral code in nature not needing to seek that through some kind of transcendental channel." "Most of my themes were political on the new record, but the song “Beyond Electric Dreams” isn’t about religion, but about spirituality.

General CommentThis one obviously written by Brett, since it's so hard for most people to understand. The air is thin, the future dim, dimension undefined Or maybe a theophany of flaming creosote in disguise

Ratiocination is a practicable way to deriveĪn attitude of altitude and probity by which to abide The air is thin, the future dim, dimension hard to find The frozen definition of a lunatic ambition to rise On the roof of the world without apparent design No one here can show you where it is but I can point to a sign
