Symphonies

Featured Song: Symphonies by Dan Black

Some songs you listen to and they make you cry; some make you laugh; others make you feel alive (to put it simply). But most of the time the beauty comes from how each song we love makes us feel emotions we've felt before, but with a new twist. We feel something that is both familiar and yet unique - no other song can make us feel exactly that way. Thus the music we listen to has the power to engender in us seemingly limitless combinations of emotion. 

Once in a rare while though, I come across a song that is undefinable -- it breaks the mold. It doesn't make me feel like other songs do. I feel instead in a way that's both acutely different from anything I've felt before, and yet the nature of the emotion eludes me. I couldn't tell you if the song made me feel happy, sad, empowered...It isn't something you could put your finger on. And yet I strangely find that when I listen to it, whatever emotion I'm experiencing is somehow poignantly accented. It is as if what I'm feeling right then is suddenly beautiful - something that warrants acknowledgment and appreciation. And I feel for a moment that I see the world through new eyes.


Dan Black's Symphonies is one of those songs.
