At the coffee shop this morning, there was the usual "background music" - by now you can guess that I abhor that stuff. And sometimes, since I must listen, some music really strikes me. This morning it was "Cat's in the Cradle" - the old Jim Croce tune. It's in an unusual personal category. So I needed to leave the premises, immediately.
See, there are some things that just get to me. I'm not sure how to explain that, but certain select things (I use the term intentionally) affect me just far too much. I remember the impact of them all vividly. Not the things themselves, but the effect they had/have. And I try not to subject myself to that much emotionality intentionally. (Of course, the first time, I came across these items by accident. In some cases, very many years ago.)
As a consequence, this small group of items I do my utmost to avoid.
Gorecki - 3rd Symphony, 1st mov't, after the vocal begins.
Jim Croce - Cat's in the Cradle.
Leo Tolstoy - The Power of Darkness.
Montana dying in my arms.
Shooting a rabbit.
I wonder if other ASpies have a similar list?
