A short word, for those few who keep up with my random and slow blogging ...

The only piece of music I have ever heard that has brought tears to my eyes ONLY by hearing the music, not by reading or watching something going along with it, is Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings op 11. Yes, it's classical, so what? Find the song, it's on YouTube, but don't watch the video, set it to going .. look away from the screen.. and just take it in and let your mind wander.. the real deal is over 10 minutes long, any 'remix' or what-not simply will not do.

If you take a listen as I suggested above, tell me of your experience here :)
