Snapshot 4: From Paul Winters

Music and poems mean to me that there is something more out there. It it just shows how limitless things are there is no limit to the amount of love we can feel or happiness it is limitless and that is so hard to comprehend. Music and poetry are things that bring our attention to the limitlessness as we feel things we may not even be able to describe and go to a state of mind that would have been very hard to achieve if we would have not used the poetry or music.

The musician I picked was Claude Debussy. He is a composer that was in france 1962-1918. He had a piece called claire de lune. Although there are no words in the piece the music was supposed to capture what it feels like to capture in the moonlight. What does moonlight feel like? That is an odd question but the music bring about an unforgettable feeling. It is so crazy to have no words and to just feel. I can remember being in kindergarten listening to it and had no idea what it was. It would pop into my head years later and it would drive me crazy because I did not know what it was called with no words. How do I make up a song title with no words and from so long ago?! It was so frustrating to me and just over the summer I ran across it in a section in a movie and I looked up the songs in the movie and at last I was finally in touch with the song. There is nothing like sitting outside on a clear night and feeling the timeless of the song and feeling long after I am gone this will all be here it has such an odd sense of eternity that I can’t even grasp. When I listen to it I am timeless.

This is Claude Debussy composer of Claire de Lune. I love that long after he is gone his music can still be played and have impact on people's lives.
