Life's a Bath - John Frusciante
https://youtu.be/6dcGAcGUS9o
but to most listeners not aware of the back story behind this album I think it would hurt their ears.
yes constantly in other people and in the world in general. for example, tooth gaps unobrows, acne, body hair, asymmetrical features, etc
in the world apart from humanity I find beauty in places that have a story behind them even if they aren't the most attractive. an example of this is this place in my neighborhood I visit often. it is an alleyway that I walk through almost everyday after picking up my daily monster from the convenient store around the corner. it has graffiti covering the uneven fences and random trash always seems to end up there. it's extremely overgrown and thick vines have broken through most of the jagged fences. this is my favorite place because I feel like if it could talk I could relate to it without judgment. most people would probably walk by it and think "wow someone needs to clean this place up" but I think " wow so many people have been here and left their mark. I wonder how far back the history of all its flaws goes."
😍😍😍
I think ugly things (or things i don't like) have a charm to them like clothing from other cultures or flower pottery or vintage furnature.
Like i don't really like it but i want it in my life. There's also the song Washing mashine heart. It's not my favorite but i just can't stop listening to it.
I have not had as refined of a taste.. maybe because I don't really know the backstory behind many things? I just haven't been that deep, and it just seems to be that the things that people find conventionally beautiful recieve more attention and I've just found more of that.
You're free to tell me some things, backstory or some recommendations.. id be glad : )
Ah that's alright. I appreciate your response anyways.
I'd be glad to give some context!
Frusciante claims 1997 (the time of this album) was the lowest point in his life. He wrote songs about his experience being a heavy user of hard drugs that you'd think should've killed him. They didn't and John's recovery changed him into a better person, as he said.
The Wester Diamondback Rattle snake. Very misunderstood reptile but also beautiful in their own way.

Good question.
I'm trying to think of something tangible but most things coming to my mind are more abstract.
I might be influenced by the cover art of your video posted, but I think art that is passionate, uncontrolled, almost angsty, can be beautiful. You wonder what the artist's state of mind was like when they created it. (Knowing the background of them would add a lot to one's appreciation of the final product.)
I think vulnerability is beautiful. Sometimes it's not a choice; it's more that it can't be contained. But sometimes it's timing, plus place, plus the chemistry and history or vibe between two people that dissolves the boundaries of composure, and that state which is created is at times, to me, very beautiful. But then, I am very sensitive to this. I find kindness, compassion, and even just the silence of listening intently to someone, to be beautiful.
Thank you, I enjoy your detailed answers : )
No
Also, that video pic looks like a mental patient drew it and a mental patient is screaming in it, while some sicko plucks a guitar in the background.
You must really hate the mentally disabled to make such a post and claim it as "art"
If you can make someone feel something inside, even with lack of skill then I would call it art.
As cliche as it is to say, art is subjective.
Maybe not everything but I definitely like things that a lot of people don't you know Styles and stuff
Yeah, I get you. Thanks man : )
Of course, usually when I'm not looking for it , either.
i am an artist at heart so i see artwork in all things i have an eye for what others do not or can not see and i love that i am this way!
Elderly people.
