Interstellar and the colossal music

Whenever I have some spare time on my hands, I tend to do one of three things: sit back and listen to music (genre does not matter), play some video games while also getting enraged by my consistent failure to take down enemies via online, or peruse some articles and books. Today, before work, I decided to take another shot at the Interstellar soundtrack, beautifully composed by Hans Zimmer, since I usually cut it off halfway through due to conflicts with my dull schedule.
So finally I thoroughly listened to the score, laying back peacefully to the sound of the brassy keys from the organs and smooth transitions of the piano, feeling the love that was written and played within the film's composition. Space exploration, far away love that feels so close, and epic disasters, all woven into Zimmer's music. Very seldom do I feel so close to a score (dating back to when I first fell in love with John Williams's legendary Star Wars score), and now I'm mentally and emotionally addicted to this. It sounds so right, and it feels right.
As a resident of Desolation Row, I leave you with this: time is sorely valuable, whether you witness it or not, thus the time that you create is the only time you will have. If you have found something that feels right or it just sounds right (and you know it's a good thing), dedicate some of your time to that aforesaid thing, may be it a film score, a fascinating tale from literature, a new acquaintance who stands out from most of the crowd, or even the sound of a comfortable accessory for yourself, because you have a feeling that this is right. In conclusion, your time is valuable, spend it wisely for yourself, and for what's right for you.
