This is a recording of an old wind-up music box my mom has had since she was little from all the way wound up until its end. I've always thought that it was hauntingly beautiful, especially the way it slows down. Recorded with a Zoom 2 hand recorder from above to eliminate most of the whirring from the old machinery.

The song is from South Pacific and is titled "Some Enchanted Evening". I know because it was the favorite song of the mother of my best friend. Here are the lyrics for you:

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
And somehow you know, you know even then,
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own,
Or all through your life you may dream all alone.
Once you have found her, never let her go,
Once you have found her, never let her go.
- Songwriters: Oscar Hammerstein & Richard Rodgers
