Payback

A Stunning Piece of Music

I have never had a piece of music affect me quite so strongly as Debussy's "Sarabande" from his Pour le Piano suite. The piece is pure emotion. Tonight while re-listening to it for one of my homework assignments I found myself weeping aloud, eyes dripping tears. My reaction to the song startled Zac who turned off his football game to come and comfort me (sweet husband). He assumed the workload was overwhelming me again. I suppose I was overwhelmed-overwhelmed by the beauty of the music.
Please listen to the piece. I found a decent youtube video here. I dare you to listen to it and not feel anything.
Enjoy!

- Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist

I feel this way every morning. I always seem to get the best sleep just as it is time to arise. I've never truly appreciated Dickens until now. He gets me.
