Music Mondays 3 (August's Rhapsody)

August's Rhapsody by Marc NMancina

If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. In fact, the most moving part of this piece of music is the story it is tied to. This instrumental is the key that brings everything together at the end of August Rush. While Evan searches for his parents, he becomes a musical prodigy, and it is with this rhapsody that he finds the answers to his questions. The story of this piece reflects the emotions that Evan experiences during his long journey to find where he belongs. A beautiful and inspirational moment.

I love to listen to this song after a long and hectic day. It's called Dearly Beloved by Yoko Shimomura. Listening to this song, I picture a cool island and the waves lapping the shore. It's so peaceful and calming that I recommend it for audio therapy. It's one of those pieces that is perfect in its simplicity.

A crisp breeze
Carries the memories
Lost in a sanctuary
Adrift on the tide

If time could pass
As gently as a wave
As meaningful as a heartbeat
And as beautiful as a song

Perhaps the thoughts
Reflections
And emotions on the water
Can do no wrong

The song "Telling the World" by Taio Cruz from the movie Rio is one of my favorite songs right now. Not only does it remind me of the movie Rio, but it also reminds me of those rare occasions when you feel that you are on top of the world because you are so happy. Enjoy!
