The power of music...

Coming back from a recent trip, I was listening to the main theme of the "Hunt of the Red October" movie. It is one of those musical pieces that holds an interesting effect in my mind. 

I should start to point out that I do not speak Russian, therefore my understanding of the lyrics is none. Still every time I listen to it, specially if I am tired (like after a trip), I run through a nice range of emotions on a single instance.

On one side it is the pure joy of the music, the voices, they are beautiful and playful. Then there is a sense of power; just a torrent of adrenaline rushing through the brain (which explains why power is so addictive).

Then there is a huge sadness, derived from the thought of how dying in submarine can be (there is a serious tone in the lyrics), there is no such thing as a glorious dead; OK, maybe I am getting old in here, at my early teens or so my thoughts were different. Which brings me to a pure self analyzing stage, looking into the different threads in my life. 

At the end I am just happy, exhausted but happy, and ready to hit the "Play Again" button (did I mentioned this can be addictive?).

So, if you want to see how Dr. Jeckyll look on his way to Mr. Hyde and back, bring your MP3 or similar player...
