"I can be manipulated only so many times, before even I love you starts to sound like a lie. You have a hollowed out heart but its heavy in your chest I try so hard to fight it but its hopeless, hopeless, your hopeless. Oh father, please father put the bottle down for the love of a daughter." If you can name the song and artist I will give points and add you!

The gregorian chant was a major cultural milestone in the middle ages. it was one of the first codified forms of music meant to be played as written, where previously it was difficult to mass-produce and disseminate any music. what's more, these chants were also some of the first examples of musical notation: the notes and bars of today's music sheets are a reflection of centuries of evolution beginning with these chants. it became official throughout the entirety of the catholic church, meaning that nearly all of europe followed this musical notation and styling.
