Aww. Feel better, Eddie.

I got my flu shot this year: I really hope it works: I seem to be somewhat immune-suppressed lately, with a lot of persistent colds and more often... (For a few years now it seemed I'd catch every bug going around and usually shake it after a day or two, but it's gotten ridiculous lately. ) I was actually *scared* I might catch a flu like this, especially being on my own now.

I haven't heard the media talking about a particularly bad flu season this year, but they sure do seem to be promoting flu shots anyway.

Right now I am listening to the sound of rain. Every now and again I like to take a break from human made music and listen to nature's music. It's not actually raining today though it is cloudy and a bit chilly. I put on a CD though a bit ago with the sound of a rainstorm on it. I'm sitting here in my favorite slippers with a throw over my lap eating homemade 15 bean and ham soup and some garlic bread enjoying the cool weather pretending it's raining.

YES! Sublime stuff. You could follow up with Cherubini's Requiem and Verdi's also.

For a really shattering experience try Benjamin Britten's War Requiem. It intersperses the poetry of Wilfred Owen on the horrors of World War I with the traditional Latin Mass for the dead. Powerful stuff. Check this link: War Requiem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Requiem was written for the 1961 reconsecration of Coventry Cathedral, a 14th century structure, destroyed in the London Blitz in WWII.

Owen was a capable but undistinguished poet before WWI. Reading his ouvere you can see the effect of the war on his work. He is now considered one of the major war poets of the time; sadly he was killed just before the Armistice.

Reminds me of a favorite Damned song, that, (despite the Churchill, we always did associate it with WWI, poetically.)

About as serious as they get, really.

Stunning that the original is not on Youtube, but it does seem to be well-remembered:

Ah, to be fifteen again, when you could stand on your head till legally-dead.

Speaking of setting me loose on the world....one of my favorite cover tunes ever...

And by segues... Guess who covered my favorite Dead Can Dance tune:

Good song, RML. Thanks for the post.

Here's Kenneth Branagh reading Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est. Powerful stuff.
