Music drifting down in to your soul

[whiffey]

Do you have any music falling into your heart at the moment, something you need to put the lights out for, and just sink into ? Something of which you wonder "how the heck did that get written?"

Nice, isn't it.

[mazie]

Tapestry by Carole King always does it for me

[Hellion]

'I Couldn't Love You More' by John Martyn - just about the most beautiful love song ever written and I still don't understand how such a grumpy, difficult man could have written something so heartrendingly beautiful!

[Cobra.]

Nightwish


They are the best band ever.

Forever Young is best ballad ever

[ChilliSpice]

I did promise myself I wouldn't post anything in B&S cos of all the cliques and bitchiness / nastiness here but this question really moved me to answer.

Yes, the music that makes me just want to lie on the floor in the dark on a bearskin rug between a pair of speakers is Brahms Violin Concertos as played by Nigel Kennedy and the London Philharmonic. Awesome beauty - I have been known to be in tears (of joy and delight) listening to those violins flittering down my spine. I wish Mr Brahms was alive today, I'd be round his place like a shot.

Dark side of the moon, the whole album (ooops sorry CD)

And all that you see, and all that you...............................................................................................................

He did other stuff as well, like a 1st Piano Concerto, which resolves in much the same way as the violin concerto, it goes gently bonk.

Also, he wrote an Alto Rhapsody which is really special, it sounds like someone pushing through bramble bushes in search of the light, and finding it.

I must not get started on music, I'd never finish.

[Hellion]

I'm waiting for Andy Hughes to turn up I really want to know his answer!

[ChilliSpice]

Well this fan quite fancies a gentle bonk from Mr Brahms or even a bramble push or three, just hope that Mrs Brahms doesn't mind too much. Were those classical composers on the same level as the rest of us do you think?

[whiffey]

Try Mozart's Piano Concerto No 20, 2nd movement, it will scupper all your ideas about conventional beauty and make you wonder - HOW ? did someone ever write something as sublime as that.

[Cobra.]

No ... try Nightwish...all the classical music you ever want to hear rocked up

[ChilliSpice]

One small problem there - I don't have it on CD :( Is it easily available ? I've only got a little record store in my town to buy stuff from and I don't normally do the internet stuff. Mr Mozart was a cool guy but I don't have too much of his music at the moment.

[ChilliSpice]

Sorry, but I've never heard of Nightwish - are they a modern band then ?

[Hellion]

Paganini does it for me!

[raysparx1]

The intermezzo from Cavaleira Rusticana, the most beautiful piece of music ever written, or Listen to Barbra Streisands Guilty album,that is special

[dot.hawkes]

oh yes Ray I agree, barbra and barry, so cool, and then her version of Somewhere just blows u away

[raysparx1]

Hi dot, yes that is a classic album,her voice on woman in love,and the duets are superb,I knew you were one classy lady dot,now you have proved it again !!!!

[Lore]

Ray, you nicked mine!

Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana (Mascagni) that is not Barbra!!

[raysparx1]

Hi Lore, It makes me cry,and I don't mind admitting it,it is so sad,so moving,so beautiful,wonderful xx

[Lore]

Me too! when I'm feeling really down and out of sorts I just have to listen to it.... Probably sounds daft tht when I need a giggle to take away the weight of the world, I go and listen to something so heart wrenching.. still, works for me!

"Here without you" by Three Doors Down.

A quality song and the acoustic version on their Seventeen Days album is so emotional.
