Debussy - Clair De Lune

Notes: This is absolutely incredible, during my time in rehabilitation i have focussed mainly on songs with Lyrics totally forgetting about the true Gems that are out there, I first listened to this while incredibly stressed in work during the lockdown and it relaxed me straight away.

Music to me usually beings a range of emotions, and while listening to this i must have gone through them all, it brought back memories of my youths when all i could do was try to listen to music in songs and i think that is really what music is all about. Its an incredible piece of music that i will be forever thankful for finding



I'll post up final table in a few

Thanks to Trigger for being a great host and fair play for seeing this through, a man of his word.

One afternoon in 2015 I was over visiting my grandfather in the nursing home. Rather than being seated in the TV room like usual, they had him seated in another rec room which I hadn't been in before. There was a CD player in the corner with a few cases scattered on the table beside it. I took a look to see if there was anything actually listenable among the images of Brendan Shine and The Three Priests, but I immediately thought that I was on to a loser.

I was looking for a shiny penny somewhere in the rubble, but I ended up winning the jackpot. On a CD of piano classics there was old reliable herself. I had always loved Clair De Lune ever since I first heard it in Oceans 11, but this particular afternoon it ascended to another level.

By the outro, I saw tears coming down Granda's still face, and that's when they started on me as well. I had no idea what he was experiencing, as he was badly afflicted with Parkinsons, Alzheimers and Dementia by then, but something stirred within him as the two of us sat there silently just listening to Clair De Lune.

I actually have tears in my eyes now writing this, but they're not sad tears. I'm so happy and blessed to have shared that moment with him before the end. It was perfect for us as he encouraged music within me from an early age.

I have my favourite bands and artists of course and love many songs, but Debussy's masterpiece is probably the piece of music I love most above all. I'm quite glad it went down well here.
