Definitly, there is more to ir than just noodling. It is known that bald women speak of great truths...this is no exception
 
I totally agree, there is much more then yust simple noodling going on, i think the whole track is very beautiful and its a vital part of the album for me wich i culd not yust skip. And if you people who say it sux actualy lisened to the song insted of yust skip it meby you whuld hear it. I voted > Amazing!

But you also agree that bald women alwyas speak of great truths, right?

And this from a man with your dubious musical tastes....Wink

Celine Dion, bah.... MEN!!!!LOL

Seriously, I don't mind the noodling - I actually prefer "Moonchild" to "Providence", probably because of the 'song' part, for which I have always had a soft spot. Therefore, I chose the second option.


dubious musical taste? LOL.. just you wait until Dee-Lite has you feeling it....

damnit ..it's been almost a year since I last put this album on..  Now I'm going to subject myself to the sonic terrorism known as Moonchild.  Oh well... always good for a laugh.  I'll put it on next....

Honestly I think this is the second best track on their best album, and lacks nothing. even though people keep complaining about the last part, which is really annoying. Why not try, and *listen* really carefully. It's not just random notes etc. pfft.

A more accurate option  would be "listen to the first two minutes, and THEN hit the skip button!" Tongue

It's very entertaining if I'm in the right mood, and very annoying if I'm in the wrong mood. Voted okay.

That's what I do.

I don't mind improvisational stuff, but this one just doesn't work. They would get better at it later on. This is the only thing that keeps ItCotCK from being a five star album, in my mind.

I view the whole song like this: In the beginning a female person named "Moonchild" is introduced; a kind of dreamy person. Then she actually appears, and the improvisations that follow depict her ramblings on the lawn near the sundial. A beautiful and melancholic mental image. Never would I skip that part.

It's OK. Somebody HAD to do it, just like somebody had to paint the "White Square on White Background" painting, or write a poem by sticking together cuts from newspapers... It may not be very pretty by itself, but without it we would have had a lot less of what we got to have; that's why I rate extremely high vanguard art.

It's not bad. The beginning is really good but I don't mind the noodling and I'm not compelled to skip at all. It just makes the title track sound even better
