This is my fav piece of music. So sublime, so unpretentious.

I listened to this with my father in the hospital room during his last days, (two sets of headphones). He had parkinsons/dementia and was scared 'bout what was happening to him. You should have seen the ecstatic look on his face, his hands as he followed each movement.

My 20yr. old daughter merely thought it "sad." That may be the blindness of youth. I consider it utterly beautiful, uplifting and calming at the same time.

peace.

If that wasn't a joke, you're an idiot.

[VockCelain]

Perhaps a little of both?

Good night, Joseph Merrick.

May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Cannot hear this piece without envisioning Willem Dafoe running through the Vietnam jungle, trying to escape the advancing VCs - while Charlie Sheen narrates. Breaks my heart every time :'(

It could be that the way we communicate through electronic text is neither written nor spoken English, but a new form entirely. Hence why people on the internet sometimes write the way they speak.

May your father rest in peace.... Godspeed

I couldn't find a single comment that said so. Maybe you aren't as special as you think.

To everyone hating on 'youth' please stop. I'm 16, and came here by my own accord. not because of some remix or movie. What MrAndreyyo said about youth I completely agree with, because I find this merely 'sad'. But please do not call ALL youth stupid.
