Requiem for a Dream

I first heard this beautiful but haunting song when I was 17. It's the kind of music that conjures distant memories, hopes, dreams, and also regret.

FYI, the music was taken from the film of the same title which depicts the lives of four different people living in Brooklyn on their quest for satisfaction in life. It shows the direct and indirect effects that drugs and various addictions have on each of the individuals, and then portrays their downward spirals from the hopes of blossoming dreams into the helpless state of moral and physical decay.

Here's Requiem for a Dream on piano. Enjoy.
