I've listened to this at least five times today. It came up in the Songza playlist of "Reddit's 100 Most Beautiful Songs". My sister played one of Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi's songs at her wedding last year, though I can't quite recall if this was one of them. P&G even used it during a commercial during last year's London Olympics.
It's strings and piano. That's it. And I will say without reservation that it is one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of music I have ever heard. I was at work, this song came up, and I was simply overwhelmed by the beauty for the full seven minutes. It honestly brought tears to my eyes.
The unresolved ending leaves much to the imagination, and the emotional power of this song reminds you, at least for a short while, that humanity is capable of truly wonderful things.
