La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin

Sometimes, I am astonished at how touching and emotional a work of art can be, no matter how simple it is. If you've never listened to Claude Debussy's "La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin" (The Girl With The Flaxen Hair), do yourself a favor and let yourself get lost in it sometime. It's strikingly simple, but it tears at your heart. I've heard it perhaps dozens of times, but it never loses it's impact.
