That’s how I feel about the picture above. It’s grainy and low quality but something about it just appeals to me.

I get the same thing from certain pieces of music and certain films. This piece of music struck a deep chord in me the first time I heard it (which is ironic as there are no chords in it):

That’s the Sarabande from Bach’s 5th suite for solo Cello in C minor, played there by Rostropovich. It’s a slow sequence of single notes lasting a little under 4 minutes yet it seems to say so much. It seems appropriate on today, Remembrance Day. This was the piece played on September 11th 2002 (by Yo Yo Ma) in remembrance of the World Trade Centre bombings.
