@ilmagnificosnello Thanks

I really liked it to play with the music and this material

It makes you stand still (as a plaster statue !)

The Pompeii corpses always make me want to cry, and this just makes it even more so. To be caught forever in your worst moment of despair and helplessness. This song amplifies every bit of sorrow I feel for these people, and the fact that I am helpless and unable to reach across time and take their hands and pull them to safety, or at least comfort them.

[philipApart]

@HailTheOri Beautifull thoughts, and I think by sending out love and comfort, you can reach anyone at anyplace and in any time.
