Hear more. Feel more. Be more! Come with me and dive into some great classical music. For over 1000 years great musicians have explored what it means to live, love, die and everything in between: asking all our deep and universal questions. Escape the cacophony - the noise of your brain and daily life; tune into the music, your feelings and emotions ‘good’ and ‘bad’ …and find the space, stillness and love that underpins everything. NB: May include loud noise, surprises, challenges, cacophonous racket May cause shock, comfort, discomfort, smiles, tears, peace, transcendence

episode 121: 91. Songs of lost love and lost youth - Butterworth, A Shropshire Lad
I get floored every time by these six songs of lost youth, love and life written on the cusp of World War 1 by a young composer who didn't make it through. Raw, simple and unforgettable.
Music here, with the terrific partnership of Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside, on Youtube
or Spotify. Listening time: 21 mins (Intro podcast, 8'; music 13')
Here you'll find all the words to the songs.
Recorded in inescapable heavy rain, so apologies for the sound quality on this episode!

If you like it, why not buy a download? You can get that here in top quality lossless sound for an English fiver or elsewhere. Cacophony doesn't make any money from it, but the musicians will make much more than through streaming. You can support Cacophony here.
