A Musical Meditation

 There are four songs that comprise this video clip.  I only ever listen to the first piece -- in fact, I've been listening to it over and over.  I can't seem to get enough of it and that's because it takes me to a place that is nonlinear, not nostalgic or emotional. but not rational either.  It's almost a place of memory, but it's not.  It's strangely mesmerizing.  There is a middle interlude in the piece that doesn't affect me that way; it's a little too conventional.  And then we're briefly back into the main thematic movement again.  It reminds me of something -- some internal place that I've lost touch with.  It's like a hint -- "Remember?  Do you remember?"  And then I return to the beginning of the piece and start over again, trying to grasp the hypnotic place this takes me to.  Still working on it.
