I want to sleep at night but also cannot stop the playlist. I just want to sit with my tea and listen to her. She has such a magical effect on me.

Someday if my family and I live in a spooky old house somewhere, with lots of winding nooks and crannies, and an antique grand piano in the ballroom that plays itself on some nights, when clouds scatter across the moon, this will definitely be one of the piano's favorite pieces to play.
