5319 - Sibelius

A 5 hour Spotify playlist, Sibelius 
I’m two thirds through it, each piece sounding great 
Symphony number 4, first part, that is
Playing now on my phones, it’s on my plate 
So to speak. Back in the 90s a mate
Sent me a tape of some of it. It’s not 
Forgotten. Classical music can grate
Or can, if heard while driving, be drowned out
That’s a shame because it’s subtle and fraught 
With quiet bits, so it demands the utmost 
Attention. It’s getting it now. I’m sat
On the sofa, beer at hand, trying to get 
What I should’ve got back in the 90s
Just needs to be loud and uninterrrupted
