Music makes me so happy. When I feel sad, mad, or like the world is going crazy (just turn the news on), escapeing into different pieces of my favorite songs seems to be the best solution. For just a few minutes, time stops, worries melt away, and as Jem and the Holograms would say, "it's only me and the music".
I'm a sucker for classical music. I've watched it, listened to it, danced to it, and have a hard time getting sick of it. Granted, it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but different classical pieces always find a way of making my heart skip a beat, and I'm not the only one. Everybody has there own genera of music that gives them comfort and ease along with that one song that always seems to turn there frown upside down.
In 1890 Claude Debussy began composing the Clair De Lune and had it published in 1905. Though it is a fairly popular song, the Clair De Lune is still one of my all time favorite pieces of music.
The title Clair De Lune means "moonlight" and was actually inspired by a poem. Aside from these fun facts, it is a beautiful piece of music. Every time I ever listen to it, I always feel this wave of calm come over me.
So, this evening, I encourage you to go find music that brings you your utter calm and shut your brain off for awhile. With that said, I hope you enjoy these different video clips of the Clair De Lune. And relaxation begins in 3..2..1
