Post a beautiful piece of music - one you listen to when you wish solitude

Land Of Oz - Hilary Stagg

[Kresjah]

I'd love to, but there are so many songs I listen to when I wish solitude depending on general mood and reason for wanting solitude so picking just one is almost impossible... and I kinda feel most of them are too "active" to be considered "beautiful". :p

[Remission]

I've had bloody 'solitude' for several years and I'm sick to death of it.  I want to be in a harem surrounded by many concubines, and be the centre of attention for once.  I want pleasure.   

[Kresjah]

I think I've found one that I can put in here. While I listen to all kinds of music when wanting solitude, I do tend to listen to ones I can sort of recognize myself in. There is something about the "right" music being able to make even the saddest messages beautiful in its own, special way.

I seldom really wish for solitude, but often it is the only alternative to what I want to escape from. If things were ideal I'd have a friend I could run to who would not "just" be there for me but also be capable of understanding me.

Anyways, one of the more recurring artists in my music library is Sia Furler. I often find that her live performances sound so much better than the studio albums, so I'll embed a live (on radio) one for you.

Lyrics for the specially interested.

Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

[Remission]

Very nice.

i have different understanding of peaceful music : /

[dhpmathmusic]

Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, Chopin's Prelude no. 13 opus 28, Believe it or not, Faure's Requiem.  Again, there are others out there that at this particular moment do not appear into my conscious memory...

I used to listen to the Alan Parsons Project in my basement when I was a kid in the 80's.
This song is all about solitude:

Hey, Felgen - I almost had the same reaction to that song too.  Incredible song, full of dramaticism and passion.  I just thought of another one that will sweep one away...Mahler's 5th symphony, 4th movement.  The rest of the piece is dramatic, but these 11 minutes of strings seem to make time stand still!
