Recently I enjoyed watching the movie August Rush with my family, and was caught up in the music and modern fairy-tale-like story. After watching the movie, I mentioned to my wife Rachelle that though the events in the story seemed very miraculous and wondrous to those of us watching…to the actual characters in the story, much of their path seemed painful, confusing, and at times like it almost could have turned out very differently at certain critical moments. This made me wonder about our own lives, and reminded me of Einstein’s thought—that either everything is a miracle, or nothing is…
After watching the movie, I hopped on over to Amazon and downloaded “August’s Rhapsody”–an amazing piece of music that is tied together throughout the film and then provides a final unified piece at the end…I’ve listened to this 7 minute piece again and again…each time it carries me through a series of soaring emotions and lifts me out of the mundane or “task-oriented” world I may be caught in at the moment.
Music is a powerful way to tap into different vibrations and shift how you feel almost instantaneously, and this piece in particular is remarkable in its ability to do so in an uplifting and powerful way–with a very pertinent 2-sentence message from August himself just as the music ends.
You can sample the music here, and get your own copy for just 99 cents–a great value for over 7 minutes of music that will lift your soul.
Enjoy, and leave your own comments and experiences with music below!
