A_Z Challenge: Ode to Joy

Do you have a desert island song?

You know...if you were stranded on a desert island and could only listen to one thing for the rest of your life, because most desert islands have iPods and chargers, but very little in the way of downloadable music options.

My desert island song is Beethoven's 9th symphony.  Technically, Ode to Joy is just the 4th movement, and technically, if I could only pick one of the four movements, I'd pick the second, but I'm pressed for time (a letter behind in this little challenge) and the whole symphony is an untouchable masterpiece.  It's got dynamics and power...it's the rock and roll of the classical world. 

The 9th was Beethoven's last work, and he was completely deaf when he wrote it.  If you've never heard it, check this video out.  It's the second movement put to graphics that show how the melodies and harmonies come together through the many layers of instrumentation.  It blows my mind.

 
And in case you still have time, here's the end of the fourth movement, Ode to Joy:

Very familiar with the piece.
If I could only listen to one song, it would be Dream Theater's Count of Tuscany. It's almost twenty minutes long and with so many changes and depth to the music, it would take me a lifetime to discover everything.

Haven't thought much about what I'd listen to on a desert island, but that would probably be something from Blood, Sweat and Tears.

Just a couple of months ago, I gave this relationship doctor Robinson buckler a try. It was my last hope to get my ex husband back.

Weeks before my ex left me and our 2 children, there were a lot of argument and fighting between me and him. On the day he left me, he told me that he doesn't think he loved me any more and this was not working. I was so devastated hearing this, I begged him not to go and I even promised that I would change. But he made up his mind already. He packed his bags and left our house.

I tried calling him and texting him to tell him I miss him and still love him. I asked him to give us another chance. He slowly stopped replying to my messages and stopped picking up my calls.

I then searched the internet on how to get ex back, and even bought a few products such as text your ex back and ex recovery system. Nothing worked, and my ex was still very cold towards me.

When I was about to give up, I found Robinson buckler ex back program. He is a relationship coach with a lot of success stories. I knew what I needed was not a book but a coach to guide me how to make my ex fall in love with me again. I immediately signed up for his program.

In the first couple of days, I made a lot of good progress. I am happier and more confident. My ex saw the positive changes in me, and started to talk to me more and even asked me out for dates.

Fast forward two weeks later, my ex told me that he wants to give our relationship a second try. I was beyond happy when I heard that.

Now, we are closer and happier together. It would not have happened without Robinson buckler help.
