*History Stories: deep feelings
"This piece of music was played on the radio at the end of WWII. The studio didn't know what to play...it was over. Millions were dead. The guns were silent. So they played this piece. I'd guess from the date of this performance, and the white hair of that gentleman, that he might have been one of the young soldiers or just kids, who heard that silence, then this piece on the radio. I'm old enough to remember the silence in the US, and we were LUCKY, just 250,000...so I know why he was in tears. (Comment posted 7 years ago by ffurgy. Im just reposting it because no one seems to know where the tears come from...)" - lecheparavaka
