Tonight I am missing my family - my son, my ex-wife (Voldemort) the cats and hearing the zoo sounds in my old backyard.

I've created a new life here - but, the sad songs take me back. Tonight I listened to Beethoven. If the 2nd movement doesn't destroy you...you need to work on the heart.
Yayyy, someone else loves Beethoven's Seventh, Second MT!! How about Bright Eyes, from Watership Down, Simon and Garfunkel??
