One
song that truly speaks to me and sings to my soul is an instrumental
composition called, “Aphelion” by composer Jesper Kyd. Although
there are no “real” words, more so, a lyrical soprano, to this
song – I find that all the instruments in this come together to
sing a harmonious tune with the melodic voice which in turn speak to
me, and what's great about there being no “actual” words, I'm
able to convey the song to my own meaning, and that meaning which I
have conveyed is epic.
The heart pounding drums, the
dramatically, pulse-rising string instruments, and to top it all off,
a soprano who's voice sounds like she's transcending time and space
in the observation of the creation of new galaxies; this song is
truly epic. Now, what also specifically happens to me when I listen
to this, is that I feel my whole body fill with the urge to go on an
epic adventure. Whether that would be fighting a medieval fantasy war
that has been raging for centuries in another time and place, or
traveling the universe fighting space pirates, this song makes me
feel like I just want to get up, out of the house, traverse vast
forests hiding long-forgotten treasures, sail upon raging seas, and
climb mountain tops until I'm high enough to reach the stars. This
song makes me feel as if I can do anything, and that I can go beyond
the sky's limit in search of anything to my heart content. 
This song is relatively short to most
instrumental songs I've listened to, but its beat has been imbued
within me, resonating to my soul which will last for a lifetime. To
me(and I'm sure I'm not the only one), this song is the epitome of
the sense of adventure we all so dare and desire to explore and
experience. This masterpiece has especially inspired me many times
over in the stories I write; allowing me to write, not only for
myself, but the inspiration to take my readers to faraway places
where daring escapes from the most seemingly impossible situations
lie, to enlightening, mind-blowing discoveries, and then to the
heart-throbbing romances that await upon a beautiful view within an
enchanted place, all from one's own seat.
Now, I must say, there a science
behind the entirety of the epic feeling that rings through me from
this song, and that science is the music itself, attracting and
vibrating the atoms and neurons within my cerebrum to affect me in
this way. I can't help but to feel the epicness this song shoots into
me. Listening to this very song again as I type this, I find that...
I... got to... go... now... to... my next...grand... ADVENTURE!
