If my soul had a sound...it would be viola.

  1. In that violas have pretty strong strings that can take the pressure needed to play them... And when they are played right, they can pump out aurora borealis colored crystals as easily as they can voice noiseless rain at midnight?

  2. Me, too, Annie. But my song would be Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'. I weep every single time I hear it on public radio. I visualize an amazing sex scene at the crescendo. Tee-hee. Here's a great video with the music:

  5. Alesa - Yes. Exactly that :) You reading my mind again Pollyanna?

    Marion - That is one of my favorites. I heard it played live at Carnegie Hall. F*ckin' awesome. I will never forget it!

    Ben - Me too. Seriously. Played it three times in the car back to back and just bawled.

    Lorraine - Indeed it is. Soothing, yet melancholy.

  7. Amei a composição. Tipo eu toco viola e mesmo com o instrumento aparecendo poucas vezes, o som foi bem valorizado
