I dont always get classical music and sometimes I wonder if I am missing something. Thing is, I know just how different this song is between live and the interweb.On the tv or.phone its an ok deal, but I know if I were in a great music hall I would be crying. Still, I wonder if some people hear things I dont hear.
About 15 years ago I put the best part of Clair De lune as my phone ringer. Man, I cant take much of it, and damn sure not on wine, be slobbering lol. Mozart will filet you and put your hesrt on a table.
And now for something completely different... LOL!
Rush is one of my two favorite bands, the other being Zeppelin. So much talent packaged in 7 people!
I always appreciated the Cygnus X-1 Duology. In my opinion it was pretty much the height of Neil Peart's more philosophically inspired lyrics and it took on different meaning for me after a certain experience. The content creator also did a fantastic job on the video. Very trippy!
Plus I made shrimp scampi for dinner and I'm finishing up a glass of white wine and have the beginnings of a warm and mild buzz. Oh, did I mention I'm an astronomy buff?
Sagittarius A*, Type 1A Supernova, astrophysical jets, M13 (pretty sure that's the globular cluster in the vid), Pillars of Creation...

A grew up with a father who had an encyclopedic knowledge of classical music. We'd play a game where I'd put on an album, and he'd see how many notes it took him to " name that tune".
He was scary good. Me, not so much.
Played classical violin as kid. Our symphonies assistant concert master was my teacher.
I still love it. And yes, some will put me in awe of the composers brilliance. And bring me to tears.

Just don't ask me to " name that tune "
Realy cool story, sounds like a cool dad too, my dad was a professional gambler, well he owned a Borden's milk company but his life and passion was gambling. He kept records, people who lose dont keep records.
All my friends loved Rush but from the very start, if I heard 3 seconds of any of the songs, I would walk out of the room or bar. Above all sounds ever made, the worst are these," spoons clanking against bowls, the smacking of lips, and Rush. Somebody eating a bowl of cereal shouldnt send people in a rage, and being on the edge of violence because somebody is chewing gum is stupid, it makes sense to me only lol.
Rush, I have no idea why I hate them so much, no idea why it turned me crazy from the very beginning, just bad feelings, real bad.

Open mouth chewing! For me that's almost as bad as nails on a chalkboard.

I get that a little sometimes. It has something to do with sensory issues. I love music but certain songs seem chaotic to me.
