Today, I heard a the name of a french composer referenced in something I was reading. So, being me, I quickly Youtubed him and got this:
The music started and I reached out to turn it off. It was sad. I don't understand or tolerate sad music very well. I never have. Being sad, like being hurt or abandoned, scares me.
I am learning not to put value on feelings. That they are all meant to be felt. So I listened and paid attention to the ache, where it was in my body, what the sensation was like.
My boy scout loves Jackson Browne and Van Morrison. I've never got it. Why does anyone WANT to be sad? I guess maybe there's a lot of people who are not scared of sadness, or maybe need to relate to it. Either way, this is a lovely, sorrowful piece of music.
I wish I could remember which of my blogger buddies posted a piano piece (done by the composer, I think) set in a rather impressive and mostly glass room. I remember feeling especially sad but would like to give it another listen with a new set of ears.
