The second music box that plays "Close to You" is the exact same sound from an old box my late grandmother had. Such memories... this piece connected with me in a way I never anticipated.

[@SergeBach]

Wonderful ! It's a very intimate piece of music - like some memories of a child with the oddities of recall and the blurry vision of the past... a mixture of dreams, reality, memories and other impressions... Like suddenly, when you listen to a small music box, and you are no longer in the present moment, but in a few places that are both known and mysterious... Great imagination in this composition and a captivating universe ! A new use of timpani seen from the point of view of their resonances ! Bravo !

Hi@@sunjy9522 you can choose music boxes with any songs. You can find cheap sets of these simple music boxes on Amazon.
