It began with a lone piano, mournful in its solitude. The strings and a few woodwinds crept up upon it, weaving their own smooth notes around the piano. A baritone joined in shortly afterwards, singing of something in a language he didn't know. He didn't care. The music was enough to play his own emotions like a well-handled violin. He rode with each crest and fall of the music, letting it sing into his soul like nothing else could.
Yamato knew it wasn't cool. "Cool" was rock music or whatever was popular at the time, played by talentless hacks whose music was a pale mirror of the zeitgeist. Rare was it when true stars rose to make their marks on modern music. There was something indefinable about the timelessness of symphonies and operas. Classics became classics for a reason.
He wondered if it was because he thought he couldn't cut it in the classical scene that he gravitated towards playing rock and popular music. Immature music from a boy who was still exploring his immature self.
He cracked his eyes open briefly to read the time on the alarm clock. Three in the morning. The music piped through his headphones became lighter and lifted his spirits along with it, and he didn't care about the time or what he had to do later that day. The music was all that mattered.
