Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (1984)

I was researching Pythagorean Philosophy when I came across this gem:

The harmony of the cosmos

The Pythagoreans extended their numerical philosophy to the study of harmony in music and the cosmos. They discovered that the intervals between musical notes correspond to simple numerical ratios, such as 2:1 (the octave), 3:2 (the fifth), and 4:3 (the fourth). This insight led to the concept of harmonia, the idea that numerical relationships underpin both musical harmony and the order of the universe.

This principle of cosmic harmony is evident in the Pythagorean theory of the “music of the spheres.” The Pythagoreans posited that the planets and stars, as they move through the heavens, produce a harmonious sound based on their distances and velocities, though this “music” is imperceptible to human ears. This idea reflects their belief in a deeply interconnected and ordered cosmos, governed by mathematical and aesthetic principles.

Well, immediately, my mind went to this song by Leonard Cohen.

Hmm.
