What do you think?
:03:06
Music is a dreadful thing.
:03:12
What is it?
:03:14
I don't understand it.
:03:16
What does it do?
:03:21
It exalts the soul.
:03:24
Utter nonsense. It you hear
a marching band, is your soul exalted?

:03:27
No, you march.
It you hear a waltz, you dance.

:03:30
It you hear a mass,
you take communion.

:03:34
It is the power ot music...
:03:37
to carry one directly
into the mental state...

:03:41
ot the composer.
:03:43
The listener has no choice.
:03:46
It is like hypnotism.
:03:50
So, now...
:03:52
what was in my mind
when I wrote this?

:04:00
A man is trying
to reach his lover.

:04:04
His carriage has broken down
in the rain.

:04:07
The wheels stuck in the mud.
:04:11
She will only wait so long.
:04:15
This...
:04:18
is the sound ot his agitation.
:04:30
"This is how it is..."
:04:33
the music is saying.
:04:38
"Not how you are used to being.
:04:40
Not how you are used to thinking.
:04:45
But like this."
:04:50
Who was the woman?
He never told me.

:04:53
I knew better than to ask.
:04:59
He made me see the world
in an entirely new light.
