Musicalness

There's musicalness in language. It's interesting to think about the way it's evolved, how parts of English could be like parts of another language (like Dutch).

This was a kind of mix up/mash up in my mind, like swirling together two different kinds of ice cream:

1)The garbled English (Dutch accent?) of the narrator of this clip about the Begijnhof in Amsterdam

2)The album version of Edge of the Moon, especially the faster part that comes around the 3rd minute mark ("now i’m going back past that marmalade sky ’cause you’ve got me waxing and waning...")
