"The nature of reflection" is a fine description of the nature of music and its working on the soul." Some popular songs, esp Sinatra and Nat King Cole, make me sad for all of us, as this phrase is used in Browning's Freaks.

Sinatra, to me, is so unique in that I never think of a specific song by him. I always think of the album, because most of them are under some sort of theme. Each album by Sinatra is like a novella or a well-edited selection of songs that make sense as a narrative or, and of course, a particular mood.
