[Spoken: Alan Watts]
What is the content of love?
Look, basically, love is something we can't put our finger on at all We say, we use such words as warmth, um, tenderness
Uh, all these things, they don't really get to the point
When you're, you're loving somebody you are simply delighting in that person, as such
As if another human organism in its mental and its physical aspects were a piece of music, or a work of art, or a glorious morning
And you go over another person's physical form, and look at it from every possible point of view- and play with it
And uh, that's what it's about. It's the adoration of the form of a human being
And you do, you do that adoring- in terms of physical contacts, that are, say dancing with your fingers across the skin or whatever it may be
This is the nitty gritty, the nub of love- one wants something much more than that
You want to be played with
That's more like it
[Instrumental Bridge]
What is the content of love? It's a sort of it, part of it, it's incidental
It's a way of saying very strongly, yes I do want to be with you
But, basically, love is something we can't put our finger on at all
[Outro: Detective Charles]
This is Detective Charles checking in
Looks like we have a victim on the ground, gunshot wound to the head
Uh, looks like there's some type of, it's like, it's a recorder
A tape recorder or something
Gonna have to listen to this
