188. "The Fountains of Rome - 4. The Villa Medici Fountain at Sunset" by Ottorino Respighi
If you like flying-floating songs, this classical orchestral piece will blow your MIND! Erik played it for one of his regional orchestral concerts, and I thought it was the most beautiful songs I'd ever heard him take part in performing. It is the song I hope to hear when I die and my spirit floats up into heaven.
Of course, I realize I'm making a very big and probably false assumption that the direction I'll be going after death is up, not down. But I hold out hope that there's a chance that some miracle might happen, and I'll die performing an act that is so altruistic and heroic that it will make up for a lifetime of crappy behavior. My reward will be hearing this song as my spirit separates from my body and rises through the sky until I'm greeted by female angels in white robes that smile at me and speak Swedish and offer me plates filled with different types of "bullar," which are Swedish rolls/buns that taste like this song sounds.
Swedish angels! Wait…did I just die?
Luciabullar! Saffron-scented bread shaped in the letter S (for Santa Lucia) and accented by two raisins.
Kanelbullar! Just the smell of these cinnamon buns will let me know I'm in heaven.
