I fell in love with (Bach's?) Pachelbel's Canon while on a search for sound for last fall's theater production. I found a nice 8-minute version done by Issac somebody, variations on a theme.
Yesterday at work, while shelving CDs, I came across a CD with no booklet. Usually we pages send those up to cataloguing to try and reunite the missing parts. But this CD had Pachelbel's Canon too. The version I found for the play was missing the last 20 seconds or so. I wanted a full version for myself.
I popped it into the CD player of my car. For the entire 12-minute drive home, I was literally sobbing. Beautiful! Like the piano melody passed right through my soul, mending tears and holes I didn't know I had. I don't know the last time anything, much less music, made me feel so overwhelmed with awe and joy.
Anybody have any similar experiences they want to share?

Ducky is hand-coding it with real HTML in her spare time! Gasp! While whining about her writing career and picking away at game guides and fanfic and coffeeshop poetry and who knows what else, she still works on the history. Double gasp. ;))
