When I hear extremely passionate and touching music, my drive to write poetry is that of a young lover. I find it so amazing how music can make you feel emotions you've long forgotten or perhaps haven't even experienced yet. Sometimes it makes you feel like a new person, it makes you feel good, it somehow knows exactly what you are feeling, it transports you in emotional depths you may not even have experienced in life.
With a pen in my right hand and a poetry notebook , I scribble words and phrases in attempt to bridge my own words to an enchanting piece. Then to only realize that my verbal capability does not suffice in order match the splendor of the music. Music, a lot like love, can never be perfectly described. Words can only take you so far but is never enough. They both speak for themselves and to fully understand both music and love, one must be immersed in them. So I altogether abandon my attempt to write any sort of 2nd rate, banal, amateur poem as it might even desacralise the glory of the melodies. That is why, instead, I am posting this video of one of the obras that has taken my breath away. I could only hope you will be moved as much as I have been. (whoever you are...if theres anyone out there)
