The Canon in D.

Over the years since i have embraced classical music, no other choice have boggled my friends as much as that of my favourite song being the legendary Canon in D.

While other people i know are embracing the superstars of today like Rihanna, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, etc etc, I'm stuck in the past with timeless classics like Canon in D.

Perhaps because to me, not only is the Canon THE best stress removing piece of music in my life, it also enables me to forget about my problems... See, take the current holidays for instance. Been in a bad mood, cuz im lonely. and im sick, and generally bored. However i can spend the day just sitting on this chair listening to the canon for the whole day. It brings me peace.

The second, most important factor is perhaps the similarity to the future that i want for myself. On the day when i truly listened to the canon and FELT it (also the same day i started to embrace classical music), i realised it was quiet and peaceful, yet in it's own way, magnificent. Unlike other classical pieces, grand, sweeping and epic, the canon is just quietly good. And that is what i want my future to be like. It doesn't have to be grand or epic... I just want to have a nice quiet future to share with my loved one.

The third, perhaps cheesiest, reason is the same reason most people in the modern age know the song in the first place. From the movie My Sassy Girl, be it the US remake or the original Korean one. Since then, it has been my quiet ambition that one day, i will learn how to play the canon for the person of my dreams...
