That's what you want to talk about...whatever it is, and I'm not big on foreplay.
I don't need a scholarly essay, just an executive summary of your version of materialism. How you would deal with the ontological status of a song might guide me to better understand the context for your statements. You are under no obligation to explain yourself unless of course it is your intention to communicate your ideas as clearly as possible.
