Day 7 - J.S. Bach - Air
This is a bit cliché music. Air from Orchestral suite 3 in D major by J.S. Bach. Procol Harum used the music for their Winter Shade of Pale, Bobby McFerrin is humming it with orchestra, and youtube has versions played on bottles, flute quartet, violin, mandoline, guitar (electric and acoustic), piano, etc.
But watch the movie Se7en, the part where Morgan Freeman sits in the library reading Dante Alighieri while the guards are playing cards. Here that music? Thats Air. Cliché? Not there.

About this/me
About this:
Inspired by Tuuur, who was inspired by Glenn Case, I will be posting some song of the day posts over here. This blog is written in (poor) English, but since I’m from the Netherlands there will be some Dutch songs and/or lyrics passing by.
About me:
I live in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, a short train ride from Amsterdam. I like open source software, open-minded people and bars open all night.
