Eine Kleine Nachtmusik


Perhaps not "kleine" but this is Tallis's Spem In Allium for 40 voices.
Tallis is not usually a composer that sets me on fire so to speak, but this is possibly one of the most, if not the most beautiful peace ever composed. The soprano line is utterly gorgeous, and those brief moments of unison are glorious. No other word for it.
Glorious.
Miserere you're good, but you're just not this good.

Don't look back in anger

I love really good heart to hearts
I love old photos
I love this song

Like it was the first time



I recently rediscovered this song I used to adore.


"I'll miss you in a minute, if you'd only feel the same"

Let's Never Come Here Again Because It Will Never Be As Much Fun






http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCB7cxv-Ey8&feature=related turn it down the music is awful with it, but this is such a touching and wonderful scene from 'Lost In Translation'.

And I'd Think Of Pretty Saro Wherever I Go

'Tis not this long journey that grieves me for to go
Nor the country that I'm leaving
Nor the debts that I owe
There's one thing that grieves me and bears on my mind
That's leaving my darling pretty Saro behind
