Movement.

There's movement, images, colours, smells, textures in our minds, the moment before we express ourselves, through words, sounds, body or song.

Beyond the classroom, actors, singers, writers, dancers, artists of your own rights, take their crafts, and really perform it. They move us to our core, sometimes inexplicably beautiful, devastatingly touching, and painfully lovely.

That aching moment of tremendous animation has no place for pretentiousness. That, then becomes art in its most undiluted form. In its most basic instinct, to give joy, to offer warmth, to understand cold.

The following movies and songs are those I love without reason. I'm lost in those moments of joy, sadness, and an intense understanding of life without words.

The Legend Of 1900 - Ennio Morricone
La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf
Edith Piaf, herself.
I Cried For You - Katie Melua.
Apologize - One Republic.
For Your Babies - Simply Red.
