  • We heard that piece in music lesson last Tuesday.

    Usually, nobody listens really to those pieces of music our teacher presents us, but this time something was different.

    everybody was listening. no one spoke. and afterwards, we couldn't speak for half an hour.

    it was indescribable.

  • This piece nearly drove me to tears the first time I heard it. It's simultaneously one of the simplest and most powerfully haunting pieces I've ever heard.

  • @IdaFranziska I saw it being performed live today by the ulster orchestra. it also carried a huge impact even the musicians, in particular the conductor seemed to change.

  • I think I know now what's it's like to be transported into other places in my mind whilst listening to music.

  • @88qiflow I'm a soldier and I love this song. Although, I've never listened to it while engaging enemies. I would shoot while listening to this because I know my adversary is determined to kill me and my comrades. 1-138th IR 30th ID ARNG. It is beautiful music though. My favorite song to say the least.

  • Wow...

  • @88qiflow

    Soldiers know they taking someones life, much more than you, speaking behind from a screen and preaching. They dont pull the trigger for the sake of killing, they do it for you, so that you can live a high quality life and pretend you know what is good and bad after listening some music.

  • The music is wonderful, I don´t know, which words I can take for it! It´s , It´s extraordinary, perfect, I remeber me on one moment, so I cried , when I heard this, Also we had this in the School I love It! I am speechless!

  • brilliant use of pan diatonic harmony
