Crowded House – Don’t Dream It’s Over

Gustav Holst – Jupiter from The Planets
An evening pause: Holst dubbed Jupiter the bringer of Jollity. To me, the central epic theme from this movement has always evoked vastness and epic planet-sized storms, even before we really knew how epic and vast the storms on Jupiter really were.
