​ The Nightwalkin' story described in music, in case you missed that part :))

​ Boy meets girl. But girl is really an alley cat by night. So boy takes cat out on the town for a night stroll in the rain. Makes perfect sense – cats love water, don’t they? Lol! Anyway, while getting better acquainted, boy gets distracted while on a cross-walk and gets hit by a careless vehicle. Girl uses one of her 9 lives to save boy from certain demise. Match made in heaven. Actually, it’s Cloud 9. Well, that’s where the story gets moving in a kind of jazzy funk romp. Just saying.

A variation of Brahms: Symphony Nr4 - Mvt3 (Allegro graciouso).... sort of!

Another great music track by Paploviante and the joy of collaboration with him through this remix. My thanks to him for the connection in the spirit of sharing in the community!

Let me explain...

This quote of an early natural law somewhere says that when one person is thoroughly in love with another, the other must unavoidably be smitten as well. Francesca’s words in Dante’s Inferno are: “Amor ch’a null’amato amar perdona.” In effect, she is saying: “Love, which exempts none of the loved from loving in return.” She means that if you love someone, you must wait and be hopeful that love will give back to you. Love, which, when one is loved, does not allow that it be refused. But, it may mean to wait forever. And the hesitation of uncertainty in waiting is painful and heart-wrenching.

Another wide-ranging account of Dante’s verse could be: “Love is a strong, unreasonable power outside natural and human laws, which allows one to love another against all odds”. Then again, none other than Shakespeare wrote; “Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove.” Maybe that captures this sentiment in another way equally just as well.

Notes for this track:

Harry Verheijen @Hverheij – original music composition & arrangement – performance: guitar.

Female vocalist: Fran. - This is an especially connecting choice, given the source from Dante.

It took 4 of us to complete this musical graffiti. Fran and Fatya supplied great vocals – in that order. Mark gave outstanding bass – a foundation and highlight. All other instruments were mangled by yours truly with sounds thrown around for good measure, including percussion. A unique DNA splash zone. You get the picture.
