During the walk some music protected me from the circumstances. Since then, others have struck a chord.
Brain Damage / Eclipse by Pink Floyd with Douglas Adams on his 42nd birthday. The last track floated to me from a window in Cadgwith, arguably the most thatched village in Britain.
Nothing Lasts Forever, Echo and the Bunnymen. Possibly the greatest song ever written.
Misty, sung by Johnny Mathis. Cows will never look the same again.
