The Hours - Philip Glass

“Dear Leonard. To look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard. Always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love. Always the hours.”

I visit my friend "N" who is slowly slipping into a form of dementia. She can't form coherent thoughts or express them in words. She can't follow the story line of the simplest TV plot. She sometimes looks blankly at me not sure who I am. But... when I slip the headphones on her and play this music from The Hours, she lies back peaceful. " I could listen to this music all day", she says.

My 5 year old son is battling severe heart disease. Today at the children’s hospital he left a note on the tree of hope that said “thank you God for this day” I turned on Mozart before this and he told me “too many violins” I have no one to share these days with. He is precious to me though I am going on 48,000 hours of work without a break.

[@livbusy4629]

Philip Glass gave the modern audience what they want, which is consistent volume and tempo suitable for intimate sounds between earphones or enclosed personal spaces, and hidden melody that can be singed along, it is an adaptation when musicians can no longer confine their audiences in one venue and have their inescapable attention. (Means in the old days, audiences have to go on the ride of volume, tempo and mood swings a live show can offer, but not for busy serial fragmental music listeners of the modernity, who wants to avoid adjusting volumes between piano music and pop, and distracted by the bi-polar swings of some classical pieces. ) While a lot say it is minimalism, I don’t think so. It has all elements of the attractions of other already proofed classical music, like tensional melody, subtle tempo change, narration with a climax, it is just that those elements are spread into a slower time frame than expected from the familiar by and hidden among atmosphere notes(yep, I think that is what those repetition notes are). That is why when professional pianists demonstrate Glass’ pieces in higher tempo and help the ears to find melody, and differentiate layers, these elements are revealed and resulting in absolute captivating music.

[@huss2600]

Poem I wrote to this piece (hope you enjoy): Let the fire blaze, and shine a light of freedom, Let the fog fade, to clear a path for redemption, Let your clothes stain, rain blood, sweat and tears of fears for the future, You will remain standing, no matter landing, Make us proud. Make some noise. Make it loud. Do not search for your path let the wind blow you where it may, do not fight it, invite it. Wear your scars as a medal of honour, and sacrifice, of all things you've lost and conquered what do you long for? if I stripped you of everything you had what would you run towards? And now that you venture into the light, Its warmth will surprise you, But don't let it lie to you too much and it blinds you, and in a blink of an eye everything turns dark; and so you will fade into the unforgiving winters trying to remind yourself of summer, Do not fight it, invite it, And let the wind blow you where it may.

[@Cethamine]

That's exactly the point. True LOVE does not expect anything in return. It is important to love, but there is no reason for doing so. :) Once I heard this idea, it disturbed me. I think it is true. There is no rational reason to act moraly in this world - so we both can argue forever. Finally we touched the ground where hope and belief steps in. If you believe our being works only and only based on egoistic desires, my argumenting will soon stop.
