The music started and my heart wept.

I had heard it so many times

But the notes just took me to another place,

A place where sadness and happiness combined

Bringing such emotions within me.

Bringing back memories of that film

Which brought me to tears so many times,

But also brought happiness.

Whenever I hear that music my heart weeps,

Showing that music can bring so many emotions,

Where no words are necessary.

  • Comment from author about the poem: For many years I have known of this film and the glorious music of Ennio Morricone, such emotive music, I have at last seen the film a few days ago, hence these words.

    ... it does that to me, does a few certain pieces of music ...

      Music is so emotive.

      Good write Gold. Yes, they weep at my singing too, but tears of agony! heehee.

      Some have the gift of embodying emotion into their creative pieces be they music, visual art, movies, the written word or the spoken word. Any soul who has reached into themself at a time of deep emotional unrest will find themselves in harmony with any such piece.
      Morricone was outstanding in his ability to amplify the pathos of screenplay. The emotion of his work lives on outside the cinema environment as can be felt here.

      Earlier this year at his passing i listened to several of his moving compositions and yes felt the emotions they convey. A great musician, unfairly overlooked.

        So true d a, Morricone can bring so much emotion to his music even without watching the films.

        I have great deal of his music and am often listening to it.

        You get my vote , Andy. your piece locates music's role perfectly.
        I've taken the liberty (as I have several of your previous introductions) of passing the music link onto my lady. We will also negotiate over Cinema Paradiso - and, who knows, see it during the Festive Season.
        Take care Dave

          Thank you Dave, I have a great deal of Morricone's music and it always delights me when listening to it.
          The film is well worth watching but have the box of tissues close by.

          Andy
