End of the World Music is my name for something that no doubt others have their own phrase for. I'm talking about a piece of music that when played in the right place at the right time evokes extreme emotion. Not joy or sadness, more heightened sense. Something that momentarily makes you feel like you understand the world!
The music and it's lyrics don't need to relate in any way to this theme. For me it's more about the instrumental music behind whatever might be being sang. It's also not always a song, but a moment in a song.
The climb down to the piano two thirds of the way through November Rain just after what I think is the second chorus is a great example. It's not easy to put into words, but it does work. I can't imagine a life without music.
If you had to choose being either deaf or blind, which would it be? I honestly don't know.
