Classical Music

you guys are going to think me an irrevocable prude, but the guilty confession must come.
i like listening to classical music now.

i know, smite me oh mighty smiter. I'm not yet 70, and it gives me thrills.
I know, i know. It bores you to pieces. It has no emotion. Right? Wrong. For me, anyway. When first i played it, it was just that. It was merely a substitute, cause i had finally conceded that i wasn't able to concentrate when bawling along to the lyrics of vocal music. So...it was just background music...cause i couldn't stand a silent study. But now...god, i now i sound crazy, but i actually find more emotion in classical than vocal music. It goes beyond that which is expressible in words...while there aren't many avenues for vocal participation (unless you know italian, or something), it by no means precludes active participation. It awakens the mind, it allows you to explore the steeps and falls of the melody. It doesn't tell you 'this is love' so you have to guess, and then the guess leads to a surmise, the surmise exands to a hypothesis of events, which follows on to a story. And suddenly, you are in love. Ever wonder why classical music is the most powerful in films? Pan's Labryinth (haha, IT), Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Schindler's List. In my opinion, they dominate over the less intense vocal tunes which accompany the story, though there are exceptions. So, next time you hear a classical piece, do not instantly spurn it. All i ask is you give it a chance- listen with ear unburdened with preconception.
