After almost 20 years, Sky 5 is still my favorite song

I bought Skys because of some of the darker and more dramatic pieces on Hearts of Space. But there's something about the more tranquil Sky 5, and after all these years it's never lost its power to transport me to a better world. Even in these dark days, when I'm older and reality is colder, and most music has lost its power to move, lift, calm, and refresh my spirits, Sky 5 remains some of the best evidence that there is something pure and perfect out there beyond and above human blah-blah-blah. I'm too old to wax poetic or to believe in the power of music. But for nearly 20 years the Skys spell has not been broken. Other tracks on Skys make me cry--the more dramatic ones. Sky 5 doesn't make me cry. It just makes me stop and think about the things ugliness can't corrupt and time can't take away. I'm old--I'm allowed to grouse about the wearying side of life. Sky 5 takes my spirit to someplace where I didn't get old and even if I did, it doesn't matter.

It's a creative work, to be sure. I enjoy Mr. Danna's work.
On this album, however, I have my favorites; Sky 7, Sky 8 and Sky 10. If I had more time and $$, I would buy the entire album. For the Celtic fan, I would stick with my choices. (I knew he has done many movie themes but, until just now, I never realized how many! Creative guy!)
