This song reminds me of the first time I ate shrooms.

When I was a child I would wander around in the park. The days seemed brighter and the air crisper and more fresh somehow. This piece transports me back to the magical time of my childhood. The innocence gone and replaced by the despair that can only be known as adulthood and realization that not only is my time short but that of my loved ones. I remember my strong Father and safety. Forever gone now. But with tears in my eyes I remember him fondly as do I this piece. Thank you for posting.

@averyms How can this piece possibly transmit you a sense of innocence?

@cb800808 veracity is the wrong word and no one knows what happens when you die

@averyms

Avery, we are eternal beings. We did not spring into existence upon birth on Earth nor do we blink into nothingness upon death. That same sociality that we have enjoyed here in mortality continues eternally; except that it will be coupled with the love and glory of our Father in Heaven. Ponder that and I think you can gain insight as to the veracity of that statement. All the best to you. Life is rich and that eternally. I know.

@sibeliandrift i dissagree. rap definatley is music, because the "unimaginative sonic clutter" is musical in nature. it isnt supposed to be an amazing auditory experience like this either, its supposed to say something. im really tired of all the classical snobs ruining music for everyone else.

this reminds of age of empires 3

this is one of the most beautiful works of art ever created.

@maryboberry4life - rap is bad poetry recited unintelligibly over a background of irritating unimaginative sonic clutter. Classical is anything up to a hundred totally unamplified or otherwise distorted musical instruments (crafted with obsessive care to bring forth the clearest, most accurate note) played by experts who have typically been learning from the age of 6 how to play things like this, all together, all in time, all in tune, no machines. That's music. Rap isn't.

This doesn't sound like revolutionary music--but trust me it is!! Dissolved 500 years of diatonic music. It is one of the 4 revolutionary spots in music, most music historians agree--the other three are the Eroica sym (Bee.), Tristan and isolde (Wagner) and Schoernburg's second string quartet (last movement shattered 500 years of chords--atonalism).
