Nietzsche, meet Heather Nova. I have a CD called `Siren' that sounds great, with a variety of music, all songs written by Heather Nova, that reflect the range of musical interests common to people who were raised on rock 'n' roll. I am most familiar with the first song, "London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do)." My hearing is terrible, so to me it sounds like *Nothing*heals*when*I'm*near*you.* Either way, it shows signs of a society that knows how to spoil people rotten. Desire is a sickness that says "Keep me in your bed all day, Nothing heals me like you do," which is exactly what the chorus of this song says. The first verse is eight lines long, but the second, third, and fourth verses each have four lines. Nietzsche's great desire for music might actually be the malady that Heather Nova suffers from:

There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in.

Nietzsche's great insight that we don't have a choice of philosophies, all we can identify are particular philosophers, lines up with the problem in the second verse:

And when somebody knows you well
Well, there's no comfort like that.
And when somebody needs you
Well, there's no drug like that.

London Rain is the sound for verse three and "Nothing falls like London Rain" is the main idea of verse four. The people who want Heather Nova to sing probably want to hear her at night, "So keep me in your bed all day" might be the best way for her to stay healthy, and "I'll close my eyes and sleep" sounds like great medicine. Early in THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA, Nietzsche wrote about a sage who taught, "And avoid all who sleep badly and stay awake at night." (The Portable Nietzsche, p. 140, "On the Teachers of Virtue").

Nietzsche might also be interested in the second song, "Blood of Me," which has a line in the chorus on "You're the truth that hurts." Rain and "You're my medicine" are similar to the theme of the first song. I don't want to make all the songs sound the same. The fourth song, "What a Feeling," unwinds the clock with "And all the birds are in my head." The fifth song, "Valley of Sound," is about music. The sixth song, "I'm the Girl," will sound familiar if you have ever heard:

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door,
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before.

The twelfth song, "Make You Mine," has a line, "I'm gonna make you mine," finally, after a few "I want . . ." lines, and five "I'll be . . ." lines. The chorus is only at the end:

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Make you mine. make you mine.

In the chorus of the thirteenth song, Heather Nova sings, "I've been waiting for the sky to fall." Millions of people had that feeling, waiting to see where Hurricane Rita would hit land and cause massive flooding. I probably shouldn't even be on a computer. I see lightning just outside my window and can hear rain pouring down, myself. The final song, "Not Only Human," starts the last verse with "Life is something set to music/I can hear it when I'm sad." This might not be as famous as Joni Mitchell singing, "You turn me on, I'm a radio."
