What is the most important music work for you?

If i had to single out one substantial work of music, it would be Max Richter's Sleep, there are sections in there i could listen to always, it is a blend of calming and haunting sounds that swirl deliciously down inward and spiralling also into a void, the endless void, and it makes that void habitable. There was a video with some of that section where you see in semi slow motion a fare with a ferris wheel and it had a deeply sad and nostalgic feel to it, and i remember how i mused while looking at it that i have no memories of being at a fare, but it made me feel like how it must feel like, of a lazy summer holiday with loved ones, and looking back at those times after most of them have moved on or died.

The music itself is so much more, it is, as i said above what makes the void livable, hauntingly serene, giving ample space for dreaming, and a safe padded room for regretting, and resolutions, to not make those same mistakes, and to float for the rest of one's life, float and not care where you're going, because this music will make it all a ok wherever you end up, it becomes a part of the fabric of your unconciousness, and is thus the choice of everlasting re-listenings, and when there will be no access to it, it will still play magically all the time.

I think timing has a lot to do with it.. A good song that comes out at the same time your going through a big event in your life or struggle that is related to the song can cause you to lock onto that song with a high emotion that will keep that song in your mind for the rest of your life.. It's as if that song was written for you..

Two songs that are on my mind now that hit this level for me was HIGH by the lighthouse family and So I Could Find My Way by Enya...

@Adstar Tom Waits' Martha makes me cry, Martha was the name of my Nanny. Love Enya but can't recall hearing yours, will do so soon.

@SW-User I listened to the Tom Watts Martha song.. And i can see how it would move one to tears.. Longing regret for a lost love that one still loves after a life time of being separated.. Yep many men have experienced that.. Some people never leave your heart that's for sure..
