Nothing feels like music... Nothing!

I have a Slicethepie account.  I'm still a newbie and haven't done much scouting.  But, I did pick up some new favourites.

There is Luigi Marchitelli, whose music sounded like heaven!  The link directs you to his Facebook page.  I haven't listened to much classical music.  I only recently heard Beethoven's 7th Symphony (2nd Movement, Allegretto) because it's part of The Fall's soundtracks.  It was really captivating.  I just wish that I knew how to play a musical instrument.  I don't know much about music, apart from which ones are among my favourites.  I usually find it hard to try new music as there's this fear of not liking it and having to try some other tracks to find a nice one.  Yeah, non-resilient me...  

While Youtube-ing today I came across some of my old time favourites.  I think it's true that the first time you listen to a good song, you'll always remember where and when you heard it, and how you felt at that time, whenever you hear it again.  I listened to To the Moon and Back by Savage Garden and recalled that I was on holidays the first time I had heard it.  I did not know that I had it on my music player, I was just randomly playing some songs because my cousin and my sister had fallen asleep, and I couldn't sleep at all (we weren't at home).  I liked it so much that I put it on Repeat.

Another "oldie" (according to me), La Tribu de Dana by Manau, which is really catchy.  I listened it so long ago (I'm only nineteen, but, still) that I can't remember anything about my first time.  But, I know that my Dad would sing it all the time.

Yesterday, while returning home from the university, I was listening to the soundtracks of Tron: Legacy and it just occurred to me that nothing ever feels like music, maybe not even true happiness.  I think it's just one of those miracles that we always witness and it never ceases.
