Certain things (at certain times) strike me as agonisingly, heartbreakingly gorgeous; so beautiful that they engender feelings of not just joy, but huge sadness too, even a need to turn away...
Why, I'm not exactly sure, but perhaps the notion that they're too lovely & unblemished for this world, or maybe a crushing disappointment that life's not the Arcadian dream I often wish it to be, brought painfully to the fore by something that would surely have a place there. Said feelings can be tremendously painful, and tears are often shed, but if I can side-step the familiar, waiting, pit of despair, and concentrate on the goodness that unwittingly opened it, then great joy prevails.
Short version - I'm rather taken with the voice of Becky Filip, singer for The Honey Trees, and a sucker for lovely melodies & the sound of cellos.
