NOSTALGIA DE UNA AMISTAD (LAMENTOS) - 2008
Nostalgia is the yearning for the past, it means "returning home", it's pain, it's ache for someone of something that isn't there anymore. It can be triggered by an image, a sound, a smell or a remembrance. Nostalgia is happiness and sorrow, can go from a beautiful place to a quiet place. It is the intimate sobbing of the soul, sometimes happy sometimes sad.
This piece is a piece that reflects the pain, joy, hope and longing for someone who is not there anymore. I urge you to close your eyes and imagine something or someone you've lost as you listen to the piece.
To accompany this video I chose some incredible paintings by Caspar David Friedrich who, in my opninion, captures the feeling of Nostalgia, longing and our connection to nature, God and our humanity.
