Yanni's albums each seem to have a different effect on me. Some of his music I use to love listening to while working out at the gym, while some were great to clean house while listening. But, one album seems to bring me "home" to peace, adventure and a sense of healing of my thoughts.
Each time I listen to, If I Could Tell You, I can see the highways in front of me calling my name. I remember the Indian Nation Turnpike in Oklahoma with gentle green hills with spots of misty fog lingering in the early morning light. I can feel the freedom each time I listen to this album. It takes me "home" to peace, calm and a sense of adventure called, "Resolve."
"Writing books is quite the adventure. First, it is a daydream, an entertainment of our imagination. Then it transforms into an idea which grows until it consumes us like a nightmare. We can either shiver with fear of the imaginary monster growing in our head, or slay the dragon with the sword of publishing."
This really a nice subject, one of the most powerful album for me is “out of silence ", but yet I have to agree with you.
Every time I listen to “if I could tell you " I have this strange feeling that take me back to my student dorm in my university
This album was released during my first year in college. and it was winter time, that is why when ever I listen to a song such as " walking in the rain" it always bring memory of me and friends hanging out under the rain
Most of his songs give me that feeling, but as far as discs, for me it would be If I Could Tell You too. The feeling of being home however is not for me about a physical place, but more about the feeling of being known and knowing in return.
