Why does it happen to me?
I sit reading poetry from others,
Listening to music
When it happens,
A piece of music plays
And stops me in my tracks.
This piece I have heard,
Heard so many times
But this morning it pulled,
Pulled at my heartstrings,
Bringing tears to my eyes.
Such a great piece of music
That pulled me into its depths
And into the composer’s heart.
Music does this to me
And has done it all my long life,
I just cannot imagine life without it,
Life without music is unthinkable
And this piece brought it home to me,
Brought home how wonderful music is,
How wonderful music is in my life.

It's age. That's what it is
You may be right SC but music has always had this effect on me.

Yes Andy music can certainly do this. It can make us feel many emotions sometimes so much joy, at other times tugging at our heartstrings.
Thank you Rozina, so true.

Music is synonymous to life, for when played it makes our emotions vibrate in rhythm.
Beautiful post
It certainly does Suresh, thank you.

One of my favourites as well - never tire of it. I remember playing it whilst driving around Abdalucia - memories.
Music can bring such wonderful memories to us all Michael.
Here is another version of the music played by Chet Baker and Paul Desmond that I like so much.
