I look up into the night sky,
The stars shining down on me.
And as I look at each star,
I see my dreams.

- Comment from author about the poem: If people ask me what is my favourite piece of music I find it is impossible to answer as I like so many pieces of music, I can't even say what my favourite genre of music is so I always come up with the glib answer, "The piece of music I am listening to at the moment". Saying that though if ever I had to go to that Desert Island with only eight records Brahms Symphony No 1 would be amongst them. (For our US friends "Desert Island Discs" is a UK radio programme which invites well know people to say which eight discs they would take to a desert island. This programme has been running since 1942.)

A fine write Gold. Aww, why no-one take any of my recordings of me singing?! heehee.
Well, maybe they do. A desert island is the best place for them, cos it's me singing on every disc! lol.
Thanks Orchi, I am on a different desert Island though.
Orchi on a desert(ed) Island - now there's a thought.
illuminated for sure
Thank you OP.
Brahms would always be in my top eight - love the write and the music choice.
Thank you Michael. Brahms Symphony number one is special to me, I have listened to it and enjoyed it for over sixty years and every time I listen I hear something new.
Beautifully done, as always:)
Thank you Resa, most kind.
Thanks ANDY ~ I always listen to DID (generally a recorded version !) it gives a real insight in to a person's psyche ! Like MICHAEL I would include a BRAHMS and a BEETHOVEN and of course a MOZART ~ Yesterday (BEATLES) Welcome to my World (Jim Reeves) How Great Thou Art (Beverly Shea) and two more ! Brahms' music is celestial so it is a perfect accompaniment to your elegant poem ~ Yours BRIAN
Thank you Brian,
Music like this gracing an island of dreams !!! - ah - lovely Goldi.
Thank you Fay for your kid words.
This is the perfect little poem Andy....... made me cry.
Thank you very much Lorna. Any emotions drawn from words is wonderful.
Nice poem.
...my record would be Sheherazade...
Thank you Eugene.
Good choice.
Short, but very well written Andy. I have the same problem trying to pick favorite music pieces. I tried to make a list a year or two ago, thinking it would have maybe 20 or so songs. The list grew to over 300 songs.
Thank you AP. It is an impossible task isn't it.
It is, but none the less a labor of love.
