As a Philip Glass listener, I found the clip kind of funny. But also because they took one of his better pieces and just straight out missed it. I don’t know what to tell you about loneliness and solitude. The most lonely years of my life were the ones I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. The year during the pandemic that I lived in the Lost Coast was pretty good by comparison. So I will say that I hear you, wherever you are in Kansas.

  I hate to spoil it, but it's from a spoken word piece by the late Alan Ginsberg ("Howl") and Glass - Wichita Vortex Sutra #3 I’m an old man now, and a lonesome man in Kansas but not afraid to speak my lonesomeness in a car, because not only my lonesomeness it’s Ours, all over America,O tender fellows— & spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy in the moon 100 years ago or in the middle of Kansas now. "spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy." What a great line, because that's pretty much what old age is

I hope you don't mean this YouTube video misunderstands Philip Glass, because I think it actually speaks to a truth that most people miss. There is a monologue that runs through Glass's music, it's full of questions and exclamations and regrets and... These guys captured that nicely -- and made it funny.
