This morning.

I fell in love with this song. When I first heard the vocalist come in, I was like "Oh God another one of those vocalists who sounds nasally and drags every note into the next".

But it's really beautiful.

Through the night to the day
When everything is gone
Carry this soul away from the dry lands

In the sun we see fighting over lines
All our dreams and wishes we send home for safe keeping
Fighting for what's right

Calling to the night
To dream again in the light
Waiting for a storm to rise and feel the isolation fleeting

Calling to the night
To be or not to be fighting here
Leaving without you, leaving my soul behind

Calling to the night
Colors of kodachrome fade with time

Calling to the night
For us, for every single life
All the ashes of men remain as a perfect memory

Calling to the night

But the heart will remain
As a silhouette of time
Hear the ringing echos in the splitting horizon

Calling to the night

Oh man! :3

I'm listening to some Tchaikovsky right now and... oh man!
Boy, this stuff takes me back.
Back to when I took ballet.
Back to those days of studying music history.
Back to those carefree days.
Which weren't all that carefree.
They never really are, until you put everything into perspective.
Then you long for the past until you're dreamy-eyed.


Did I ever mention how much of a genius Tchaikovsky was?
His stuff isn't particularly heavy or dark, just plain fun (though Swan Lake is kinda sad). And pretty, so pretty.
Just listening to the "Waltz of the Flowers" from the Nutcracker suite right now. Getting the loveliest shades of pink.
Not that I haven't noticed it before. I just wanted to feel pink for a moment. :3
