"No Regrets" by Aesop Rock + Will & Representation

"According to our view, the whole of the visible world is only the objectification, the mirror, of the will, accompanying it to knowledge of itself, and indeed, as we shall soon see, to the possibility of salvation. At the same time, the world as representation, if we consider it in isolation, by tearing ourselves form willing, and letting it alone take possession of our consciousness, is the most delightful, and the only innocent, side of life. We have to regard art as the greater enhancement, the more perfect development, all of this; for essentially it achieves just the same thing as is achieved by the visible world itself..." (Will &Representation, 266)

"No regrets" represents the life of Lucy who completely immerses herself in representing the world she encounters daily. Perhaps withdrawn from will she reaches the same delight and innocent side of life that art enhances through pure, isolated representation. This mode seems to be the same one utilized in the music. The intro leads with sounds of life in an urban neighborhood. This mimetic music continues throughout, in addition to the plot of the main character herself.
