Addendum to Meaning and Language
I am still thinking about the words. The fact is, notes can be limiting too. But somehow they come. Maybe it is the process I use to find the words that is limiting.
In a sense, I let the notes come to me. But I am trying to find the words. I am just a container through which the notes come. But I am trying to control the words. Maybe this is the difference.

When I used to write piano music, I could never come-up with words. When I was in college, once, I went online and asked people to write words with which I could write music to. Someone had a great idea and wrote words based on my dream journals. I wish I had kept up with this project, but I don’t play my piano anymore. It just collects dust. I still love it, though.
I find it easier to write music to words than it is to write words to music.
