Yes, classical music! Can any "popular" music ever express the unmeasurable sadness I feel in the following piece? This is a weeping God! It's devastating, but it's not entertainment...
When darkness is shading you
And sadness invading you
And you're in the depths of despair,
When you like but lamentos
And last sacramentos
This is what you need to hear:

@logan phil,
I'm haunted by this song! I tried to translate the lyrics, but the text needs performance to be at its best. What a beautiful allegory of life, with the background of the mysterious Sea. This is the song (the clip is terrible by the way):
The story goes like this. A sailor tells us about a "field" in the sea where always a great wind blows (a sandbank?). On that field he sees three ladies dancing in the wind. On his first voyage he sees a lady dressed in white, and he falls madly in love with her. And he makes an oath to himself he will have her heart. But he forgets her right away, when on a second voyage he sees another lady, waring a blue dress. That's the one he desires. But he only meets his most true love on his last voyage, when the lady is dressed in black... "Sur la mer il y a un pr?...".
