This song literally changed my life. I was kind of difting through life, hating everything about it with the one exception of my daughter. She was the only bright light in my life. Then one day I was visiting a friend who was a fanatic about Robbie Williams. I liked him but I wasn't a huge fan so I politely listened as she enthused about his songs and played them. Then she went off to the bathroom and left his album playing and this song came on. It was like a lightening bolt. It said exactly what I needed to hear. The experience was so powerful that I just burst into tears. I realised that I really did need to start living again. I wanted to love where I was rather than always wishing I was somewhere else and that it was all about my own perspective and what I was doing...not what anyone else thought. The next year I started university despite everyone telling me that I couldn't do it, and it has changed everything. It's all about being true to yourself.....the real you inside that can't wear the masks that you can put on your public face.
Reading about Maurice Ravel is fascinating. Ravel said he wanted to write the world’s longest crescendo making no attempt to vary the music harmonically or melodically....Bolero.
Ravel had left cortex brain deterioration which caused him to lose his sense of pitch, while retaining his sense of timbre. Later in life, because of brain damage (aphasia) Ravel was still able to "think musically" but no longer had the ability to express it by writing/composing.

Lady Ice...your story and song are so moving...it's amazing how as humans we have such an ability to love yet we withdraw so much with the pain of life...and in the process we become apathetic unable to feel. It's almost like we are frozen in a state of hypothermia...
And then...that moment hits us and something shatters that hole in the ice and sends a dagger right to our heart...we then intensely feel everything at once and realize what we had been missing...how precious this life is...how much we need to grasp and take hold of everything before it's too late.
Music and sharing our souls bring us together...the connection of understanding warms our hearts and we realize we are not alone in this life...that we have so much to share and give to others.
"We will make a brand new start, From the pieces of our hearts, The break of day is before us,
Cast your sorrows to the wind, Let the highway take us in, As we escape the disorder"

Thank you so much for saying this Lyra. You have described the feeling perfectly.
