Alone in a small house outside of town lived a woman whose few possessions included an old upright piano

06:06

2

Its keys were worn and its wooden frame bore the markings of a lifetimes worth of being played being moved and being played some more

02:08

3

On it the woman composed beautiful haunting pieces and played them everyday

02:38

4

But it was music that only she heard as her children were all grown and her husband had passed on long ago

02:08

5

Each melody told a story of love but also of loneliness and of the unspoken language that only music can convey

04:18

6

Years went by and the women slowly grew older

04:14

7

One evening as she played she felt a stirring deep inside her

02:02

8

Slowly she laid her head down on the pianos dark wooden surface took a slow breath and breathed no more

02:05

9

She was discovered the next day and arrangements were made to remove her from the house to be buried

02:40

10

The old house was torn down and the piano was moved out into the garden exposing it to the elements

02:18

11

It sat on the land its keys silent its strings untouched there on the outside of town

04:52

12

And as the seasons came and went the once well tended garden transformed into a wild swampy wood

03:54

13

One night in the silence of the overgrown swamp when an unusually blue moon cast its gentle glow on the forgotten instrument something happened

03:17

14

The piano devoid of human touch began to play itself its keys moving gracefully perfectly producing the hauntingly beautiful music that had been played on it so many times before

05:36

15

But there was no audience to hear the melancholia that echoed through the night so the piano played for the trees the frogs and the fireflies that danced in the darkness

04:33

16

The music was a lament a suite of longing and isolation that only the abandoned woodlands could fully understand

02:49

17

Night after night the old piano plays its sad and beautiful melodies

01:50

18

Weaving them into the fabric of the forgotten landscape

01:16

19

Becoming a part of it there in the heart of the abandoned wood

04:54
