I've been thinking about this ever since I heard the pianist play it in church last Sunday. I really enjoy Beehtovan's Sonata No.14, otherwise known as the Moonlight Sonata. Its not exactly sacred music, so I was pleasently suprised when I heard the first movement. The way the music flows and expresses passion is incredible. When I listen to some types of music, I feel as if the world could not contain the amount of emotions stirring in me. I know that some of you think that I am crazy, but others will understand what I'm talking about. That feeling is almost like drowning, it drives you crazy, makes you want to scream in agony or joy. It's amazing that music can affect people(me) like that. There really is no good way to describe the feeling, I some times feel like I can't breathe, or that ifI don't scream I'll burst into a thousand pieces. Not that many pieces have done that but the ones that do I try to keep around. The moonlight sonata is one that I still have been unable to get my hands on. To those of you who are thnking that I need mental help don't understand. I don't go around screaming because I liked piece of music. I usually just sit enjoying the feeling. If you don't know what I'm talking about then I have pity for you that you can't exprience it, but if you do, well, happiness beyond words.
