Strange things happen

It was not a great day today. Sky was cloudy, I was pretty tired, really not that into talking/seeing/wanting to do something, I studied a bit (very small bit), sat at my PC doing anything, had a phone call that really didn’t want to show my apathy (but hey, I’m not a great actor in those matters), and such. The kind of days you say “Let me go to bed now and let’s see what happens tomorrow”.

Then something happened. I was sitting at my pc, listening to last.fm. And then somehow the feeling of listening to Bohemian Rhapsody struck me in my back, so I turned it on. Years passed since I’ve listened to that song for the last time.

It was magic. Pure magic. Just a whisper in the beginning, like you are about to be brought in another world. Then the piano kicks in, and a voice grows out of the choir.

Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me

Then it strucks you with that progression: 4 adjacent semitones in a row, appearing slightly out of tune, that makes me shiver every time. And with a such epic progression, hearing “I don’t want to die” really calls you to bursting out in tears of joy. And then, one of the most amazing solos I’ve ever heard.

What can you do? You can just sit at the piano, take the guitar, sing to the top of your lungs. And the day gets suddenly brighter. You suddenly have a smile on your face. You would like to take back the phone, clear the previous call, and doing another one, much quicker, but saying the things that really matter, that no matter how much times are being said, are always able to make me happy.

Then you look outside and you see that the sky is clear and the sun is shining.
Is there anyone, up there?

If anyone (me included) needed a confirmation that if God exists, he hides behind a bunch of notes, I think you have another one
