Going Under...

I discovered Evanescence in 2005 and fell in love with the tortured lyrics and melodic cries for help.

It was my depression in a soundtrack.

I particularly like this song because it describes me when I am in an episode - it also visually describes my fear of people. 

On some days when I leave the house this is how the outside world appears to me (metaphorically of course not literally) and I am fearful of crowds and unknown people. I have been out and about and in a second my brain will flick the switch and I feel like I am in the middle of a Dali-esque horror scene.

Mall trips can be fun for me on MANY levels lol.

Enjoy....

.....2 Cents Music........... Some Culture & Some Fun..............

...............now I know some of you don't like it when I post classical music. But PLEASE - give these first three pieces of music a chance. Open your mind and your ears, and allow yourself to be moved by music that does NOT require Autotune.

The first is the Queen Of The Night Aria by Mozart. An amazing piece of music by an amazing singer.





The second is the celebrated Flowers duet from Lakme.





The incomparable Cecilia Bartoli singing Mozart.






And the fun.....................the fantastic Diva Plavalaguna scene from The 5th Element.





I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.

Goosebumps from all ;)

........2 Cents Interactive ........... What's your favourite piece of classical music?................

OK 2 Cents Family............. this is the plan.

You tell me your favourite piece of classical music in the comments section ( even those who don't necessarily like classical music as a genre DO have at least one piece that they can recognise and like - maybe from a movie ) ... and tomorrow I will post all the pieces listed for your group aural enjoyment.

So - get humming - get typing - get posting.

This will be a new weekly feature here at 2 Cents where your comments will be brought to life somehow.

Thanks all.

And here is my favourite.

The Bell Song from the Opera Lakme - performed by the two women whom no one can hold a candle to - Joan "La Stupenda" Sutherland, and the wonderful and emotive Marilyn Horne - what a pair.
