Like personal memories, music leaves us with unfulfilled dreams.
They are the secret gifts we received from history which shine through the remains of their demise. They bear a promise:

The possibility to begin, to destroy and to carry on
without cynicism yet with strategy
without defeatism even after defeat.

Here and there, flowers have grown even behind the enemy lines. Through music we can be reminded of this.
