The number 8


• A note played for one-eighth the duration of a whole note is called an eighth note, or quaver.
• An octave, the interval between two notes with the same letter name (where one has double the frequency of the other), is so called because there are eighth notes on a western scale between the two, including the notes themselves.
• There are eighty-eight (88) keys on a piano.
• Songs with the number eight in their title include the Byrds's Eight Miles High and the
Beatles' Eight Days a Week.
• Dream Theater's eighth album Octavarium contains many different references to the number eight, including the number of songs and various aspects of the music and cover artwork.
I took all of that from a website. WHO CARES! I get so tired of conspiracy theories. There are a lot of coincidences OK! Don't be afraid of the number 8. Dream Theater aren't Gods because they thought about how much eight is in music and put it all over there album. Most of the time I just feel that it is obnoxious.
Truth can stand by itself without any weirdness at all. That is why talking about conspiracy upsets me. Show me true facts and why it is true rather then just making me feel it is weird and creepy. They try to teach that truth is odd. Truth is not odd, truth is solid and understandable.
