He’d always believed he’d lived another life before this one. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t remember what it was.

He was pretty sure it had something to do with music, though. How else to explain how moved he was every time he heard the opening notes of West Side Story?

  17. Good one. I agree with Mary. He's conducting Camille Saint-Saens' "The Swan."
    Or maybe the Birdy Song

  18. At last a reasonable explanation for a woman who loves to dance, but has no moves. My lives are not integrated :).
