The Soloist

I watched The Soloist last night because I couldn't sleep, as a matter of fact I haven't been to sleep yet.
The Soloist is about a journalist who stumbles upon a homeless man who has the incredible talent of playing the cello and other string and wind instruments.

I watched this movie and while listening to the notes of the score, couldn't help but to cry. I thought about everything the composer must have been feeling while composing the pieces and what he wanted the listener to feel while listening. It made me appreciate classical music. I started downloading some pieces, including the whole soundtrack to the movie. If you haven't seen The Soloist, I recommend you do, it will inspire to listen and feel, and feel while you're listening. I have a new appreciation for classical music now, and I think I'll be listening and feeling alot more of it.

almost NEVER counts!!!


I wanna scream sometimes, I wanna hit, smack, kick, yell and scream!
