I love the feeling music gives me when I allow myself to become immersed within it. The music of Claude Debussy is one of my favorites. The first song I knew of his was Clair de Lune. In French, clair de lune means ' light of the moon' and, for me, that is the feeling this song evokes.
It feels like a small, clear voice in a crowded room, disregarding the din and hustle around it. But as it plays, one by one, the other competing sounds fall away until this loveliness is all I hear and once it has my attention, I cannot get my ears to look away.
This gentle harmony leisurely encompasses my senses and is such a tender sound that I welcome it completely. The softness is what I imagine a feather feels like while being buffeted upon a warm summer afternoon breeze. Or immersing yourself in a refreshing pool that is exactly the right temperature. All other thoughts are, for the moment, washed away and you are one with your soul.
Isn't that the song from Twilight?
