For those willing to be genuine
¿Don't you ever feel there are just some days when you don't ever care about anything external but want to garnish your time aesthetically?
...with music, especially?
Even if you are not having a tough time there's this growing need to reflect on things for a while, maybe about your self concept, or maybe you're just tired, or want to feel a little since life doesn't give you the chance... This Saturday is one of those rare days, but meaningful, nevertheless.
Thus, there's a short list of music I would love to share that may speak to our deeper persona that we hardly ever see or want to see-
It's crazy how we are blessed with such a conglomerate of beautiful sounds, since the beginning of times and centuries, fulfilling moments by creating an inner and secret space in hopes of being heard, they're such an influential element to our lives, like German-philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said: Life would be a mistake without music, and poet T.S Eliot concurred that people can actually be the music while it lasts.
The first track is taken from Spanish film 'Pan's Labyrinth', and it is probably the sweetest and more enchanting lullaby that has ever been composed, I leave here an approximate version of this melody, however, you may take a look at the original version featured in the movie because it's even more emotional.
The second track is a powerful operistic song originally composed for the French/Polish film 'The Double Life of Veronique', it mixes a sense of abandonment and at the same time a resilient spirit seeking to rise.
The third track comes unexpectedly from a little Western movie called 'Once Upon a Time in the West', a fondly written symphony of life lost and found, orchestrated by legendary Ennio Morricone, one of my favourites ever taken from a movie.
They may not be for all tastes, however, music is an universal language, even if you don't understand lyrics you can still be moved by the sounds and the rhythm it transmits, fair enough, everyone have a compilation of their own all of which are equally different as they mean a universe to a sole person.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
