Do you think the composer of the simple tune played in the TV show ever imagined that someday his work would be so meaningful to so many people that a whole orchestral piece would be produced from it?
To those reading this, imagine. You could be living out your life right now inside a similar dream. Perhaps you are unconscious somewhere and the entirety of your life is passing in the span of minutes. I can at least say, if that's what's happening to me, I will be ecstatic to wake up and realize that this crap life I'm living was only a dream...
I saw this episode in 1992 when it was released. I was a boy of 14 and it moved me deeply. I was overwhelmed with sadness when it came out. I didn't know why then. But I know why now. 30 years later, my wife laid to rest, the songs of our life are only a thing of memory. Our children a product of love and affection. And even if I explain the depth of our love and meaning of our overcoming struggle... no one will ever hear more than a song sung on a flute of a memory past. A life taken for granted. A a love so true, if I explained it to you, you wouldn't've believe me.
This music piece is never too old, never too late.....it brings an inner peace when I listen to the flutist and the orchestral pieces bring a harmonious rendition of soul and well-being....may the inner light bring peace upon you and yours!

I am always amazed at the fact that this one stand alone episode from a tv show can move so many people so deeply. My eyes well up every time I hear that hauntingly beautiful melody.
I know it’s fictional, but every time someone plays this song, they bring life to a dead race for the briefest of moments. That’s an idea that just gives me an emotion I can’t really explain.
I wanted this in the Picard show. Imagine, if you will You see stars, you hear the opening bars to the TMP/TNG into start up, you see the Enterprise D come into shot just like in TNG... and then the... E? Wait what? And before the DUN DUH DA DUN kicks in, the camera pans out and THIS music begins. Its not the ship, its a diorama on Picard's wall in France. Opening credits start up as we go through his living room and/or study and we see a few easter eggs in addition to hints as to what he's been up to all these years. And it ends with coming to him overlooking the vinyard, flute in hand as the last notes fade away... Alas, not quite the show we got. But using this would have really cemented that this was HIS journey.
When i first heard this, it made me sad. I shared my thoughts with my father, and he disagreed. He thought it was full of beauty and hope. I hear it now and I miss him.
