Here is another one where I can pinpoint the time origin. It was a few years ago, when I rented the movie Hannah and Her Sisters. This is the exact time I became a huge Woody Allen fan. Anyway, there's a line in there where Woody's character says to Dianne Wiest's character: "You don't deserve Cole Porter!" So, I decided to check out his music. Turns out, I absolutely love it. I did some research into his life, and am still a fan to this day.
His lyrical brilliance is simply amazing to me. As someone who once fancied himself a poet (mine wasn't that good, but the haiku wasn't too bad), I am enthralled with his wit. If there was any particular order to this list, his music would certainly be near the top. Few other composers have captured for me the essence of human love and all its aspects (glandular, joyous, tragic, et al). This definitely makes life worth living. And sometimes, he makes what you're going through both more real and yet easier at the same time.
