    We already have another thread over in another subform which talks about creating Epicurean hymns:

    epicureanfriends.com/thread/?postID=11305#post11305

    (And here is an article that talks about health benefits of singing.)

    And for this thread here, perhaps we can take a moment to think about what to create as Epicurean music with a modern feeling, that the 40 and younger crowd might like to participate in ^^ .

    Changed the title of the thread from “Content Creation - Epicurean Songs and Music for Outreach and Group Development” to “Content Creation - Epicurean Songs and Modern Music for Outreach and Group Development”.

    Thinking further about the "singing as a group"...there likely are very few people who actually want to do that (or would enjoy, let alone feel comfortable singing together). Plus you would need someone to lead and accompany the singing (probably on acoustic guitar).

    Also, regarding the song I posted in the previous post, I think it has a melody that leads to "ear worms" (unwanted and uncontrolled mental repetition of parts of a song. It is probably a big reason why people don't like Christmas music, because it often causes this "ear worm" problem due to the very simple melodies). Also, the lyrics imply a "superstitious" cause in the phrase "something in the water" (so that part isn't Epicurean).

    So...I am dropping the group singing...now thinking of creating guidelines for how to do "Epicurean philosophy as a group activity", and how to facilitate philosophical discussion when some people do not have full knowledge of Epicurean philosophy (this will go into a different thread).

    I would be in for Karaoke. After practicing at bit more, I hope to find a group of Karaoke fans in Bangkok, irrespective of philosophy or religion.

    Elayne found a way to enjoy earworms instead of being annoyed by them; maybe it is somewhere on this forum. If a song which I like follows me as an earworm for a day, I enjoy it, too, but not if I do not like the song.
