The Comfort of Prayers And A Song

The aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan has left a heavy feeling in my heart for the past few days. I have said I was crying on the inside, but I find sometimes that tears would just well up when I read about the plight of the people of Tacloban and neighboring provinces. 

Although I am touched with grief and helplessness, I also feel blessed with the outpouring of prayers and relief support from all over the world. Crisis do bring out the good in most people who sympathize, pray, and give whatever they could, in terms of basic necessities and services.

{Music}: Autumn Leaves

Soulful. Poignant. Deep. Melancholic.  

I don't really know what to make of this song so I am just describing it by what it evokes from me.  I love the melody, that's for sure.  The lyrics, deep, yes.  It could have a dozen or so interpretations.  See for yourself.  I just think the 747 towards the end kind of pulled the classical appeal  to the side.


AUTUMN LEAVES

Another day another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated
Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated
