While listening to some music on YouTube last night I was reminded
of a question I’ve asked on this blog before, so I’m going to ask it again
(using different words this time.) How does a composer know that if he writes a
number of notes in a particular order, the effect on a person’s emotional state
on hearing them played can be mightily profound. How does he know?

It will be my birthday in eleven days time and I’ve realised something quite disturbing: I’ve started to notice attractive women over 40. I think the end must surely be nigh.

And to join the two previous notes together, I’ve been hearing Roy Orbison singing the song It’s Over all day today. I’m not aware of coming across any reference to either the singer or the song in a very long time, which makes it an odd coincidence.
