Chris Botti - Emmanuel

One Saturday night I decided to stay in and I believe I made one of the best decisions in my life, because I discovered one of the most moving and beautiful songs my ears have ever heard. The song is by Chris Botti (Emmanuel) and was performed live in Boston. Pbs was doing a special on it and I had no idea who he was, but I have always been open minded to music, so I decided to tune in. I heard a few songs and was quite impressed and decided to go buy the cd the next day. Like any cd I buy, I always put it in the cd player immediately to see if I made a good choice. Well, I went through the first few songs and I was amazed at what I was hearing. I have heard many different types of music, but this was completely new to my ears. Once I got to track 4 (Emmanuel) and listened closely as I drove everything slowed down and I was in complete awe. One note after another changed my complete state. I was in probably one of the most peaceful states I have ever been in and it was all controlled by this one song. It amazes me how different notes can immediately affect how you feel. This song moved me and changed my thoughts about music. I believe if there was a song to describe heaven, this would be of them. Music is a remarkable gift and I am always intrigued when I find out something new or hear a song that captures my ears forever. Music Like this will live on, because it has so much depth to it. Why? Well just listen closely, sometimes words cannot describe the feelings you get.
