Sweet Dreams (added 17/10/23)
Death Trip

Harley (partly) on the Limbic system, or, the "emotional brain".

Instincts.

The sensory input to the thalamus.

Amygdala - fear and pleasure.

The memories stored within the hippocampus (not all).

Pop Music and the mind. Marvellous. Play it again...


The first three albums then, at least partly lyrically, tapped into psychology. This I find interesting...

(17/10/23 Edit) How could I forget Sweet Dreams (Harley, 1974), from The Psychomodo?! I recalled much of my own dreaming last night and of course Sigmund Freud's own breakthrough, in 1899/1900, was, 'The Interpretation of Dreams', a classic. I have the Wordsworth Classics of World Literature version of 1997.
