Everyone has something that takes their breath away... For me? It's definitely music.
There is nothing like one of those songs that forces you to close your eyes and breathe it in - one of those fill-every-crevasse-in-your-soul kind of tunes.
Don't try and pretend you don't understand what I mean - it's the same feeling that makes you wish your life had a soundtrack!

Here's a photo of the front of the cathedral from here:

Geoffry did a pretty darn good job didn't he??
The best part about his rendering?
It's made entirely of music!! Its an actual full-orchestra composition!!! (Although I have no idea if anyone has ever played it or if it would even sound remotely pretty... but I sure love the look of it!)

Just love it....
Anyone else have some music-inspired artwork? Or want to help me make some? There's a little empty wall around my piano that could use some flair... ;)
