Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding


I just took a musical bath. I listened, for the umpteenth time, to Puccini's La Boheme. I can't begin to understand how someone could ever create such a thing of beauty. There are many 'songs' that compete in their individual beauty, but no other opera, play, or body of singing that even comes close, for me. You?

....it used to confuse friends, co-workers, and the sudden stranger how spouse and I could go to the symphony on one weekend/evening....then the next excursion go to see and listen to 'something entirely Different', 180 out on any of the 4 planes.

One weekday, I 'cused self from work an hour early so we could 'go to dinner, and then go to a downtown concert for the evening...

"Sure, we're jealous already!  Who're you going to see tonight?"

"Garbage, really looking forward to it...."

Response?  Muted and somewhat confused....this office played a lot of Enya, and that of a similar style...

(...I actually enjoy a bit of Enya, but the steady diet....not so much.  Was looking forward to a 'hit' of loud in a smaller venue...)

"Garbage?   Uhh, who's....."

"They're a great group, we're fans....'Paranoid', 'Stupid Girl'....fun loudness...*G*  See y'all in the AM, and thanks!"

( A couple of the younger workers were jealous, the owners....a bit confused.

Likely still are....) 

....I mean, what's Not to like....*smirk*

I Think I'm Paranoid, revisited remix....

25 years ago, after that?

I likely wouldn't have come back to work....Call In Dead, via a stranger....*LOL* ;)
