The music of Star Wars Episode One is something that still moves me, almost 7 years later, unlike anything else. Damnit, I can listen to those unearthly pieces and still remember what it was like to feel curiosity and awe. I can't even find words to describe what it feels like, because those weak adjectives have lost their meanings to me. Of all the music I listen to, that soundtrack is still almost the only one that can do it to me. And I think I know why: all of the CDs I own that have that effect (Episode One, Return of the Comet, Holst's Planets) I first listened to and fell in love with, before 2000 or so. Sometime around the age of 12 or 13, it seems I lost my inner child, the ability to feel wonder. Why did it disappear? Where did it go? Will it ever come back?
