Masterpiece

Happy Throwback Thursday, readers! Today I’m reblogging a poem originally posted in early March, about the emotional potency of music. I believe that any genre of music has the power to evoke strong emotional reactions and can also offer a place of relaxation, comfort, solace or energy to the listener at times when they need it most.

If you’ve never listened to it, please do – it is an utterly beautiful, heart-wrenching melody.

Mesmerising, comforting,

Haunting,
