Reading ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’, the book that inspired the song ‘What It Is’ by Canada’s 90s alternative rockers ‘Pure’.
What did Jordy Birch (Vocalist and Songwriter for Pure) mean by this? The song, to me, seems to be just about... living. “It is what it is.” “Touch the stove just to feel what is real... it’s no big deal.”
While the book, to me, is about getting the most out of life.
Thoughts?
