Trance music

with music instead another form such as a play or movie, and I was able to hear different parts like the heartbeat of the clock/man’s heartbeat and his conflicts. I did not like “Six pieces for Orchestra Op. 6” because of it had a more negative impact on me with its ghoulish melody.

Hans Christian Andersen once said, "Where words fail, music speaks.” For a good portion of my adolescence, music was the language I used to express myself. From the time I started middle school, music sparked my interest quite instantly.
