Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn’t my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don’t really feel, of understanding things I don’t understand, being able to do things I’m not able to do …
– Leo Tolstoy – The Kreutzer Sonata
Ph: Sergey Golubev

A finger’s touch upon my lips
It’s a morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut, try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning

The world awakens on the run
And will soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
It’s a morning yearning

Another day, another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning …

Like a summer rose, I’m a victim of the fall
But am soon returning
Your love’s the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning

Ben C Harper – Morning yearning
Ph : Jane Burton

There is eloquence in the tongueless
wind, and a melody …
within the soul, awaken the spirits
to a dance of breathless rapture,
and bring tears of mysterious tenderness
to the eyes, … or the voice of one beloved
singing to you alone.
– Percy Bysshe Shelley –
Ph : Andrew Lucas
