What kind of music do you like? What are your favorite songs?

Different people like to listen to different kinds of music.

However, there are some songs that many people, across cultures, generations and gender all seem to enjoy.There are certain things that touch sensitivities universally.

I think a good example of such a song is Nella Fantasia, it is based on the theme song, “Gabriel’s Oboe,” from the movie “The Mission” (1986).

Even though the song is sung in Italian, and I don’t speak any Italian, I still really enjoy,”In My Fantasy.” The translation of the lyrics are:

<In my imagination there exists a warm wind,

That breathes on the cities, like a friend.

I dream of souls that are always free,

Like clouds that fly,

Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.>

The lyrics are as beautiful as the melody of the song.

It is a very wonderful spring season filled with sweet sounds of life.

I hope that the places you live in, and the places we meet, like our cleaners, will be filled with feelings of wonder and beauty like the song.
