Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding


I just took a musical bath. I listened, for the umpteenth time, to Puccini's La Boheme. I can't begin to understand how someone could ever create such a thing of beauty. There are many 'songs' that compete in their individual beauty, but no other opera, play, or body of singing that even comes close, for me. You?

Puccini was simply a genious, and I agree that his operas are the most heart wrenching musical creations ever... he just knew how to write those melodies better than anyone then or now.

Jim O'Rourke for me. Especially when I listen to his album "I'm Happy And I'm Singingย  and a 1, 2, 3, 4", I do share same types of feelings.
