The first time I heard this song was as a child watching Fantasia in a theater. It was a scene depicting dinosaurs
marching stoically over barren land....searching for food and water. One by one they dropped to their death as their
extinction unfolded. The music created a mystical image of a great struggle for life, even as mortality loomed. It was a
mesmerizing experience for me. And I still feel its emotional impact all these decades later when I hear this song. It is truly beautiful and inspirational.
Could it serve to heighten my sensuality? I suspect so. And I look forward to finding out soon.

If you love the music find on YouTube a clip from the 1934 movie with George Raft and Carole Lombord. The dancing is very sensuos.

My parents had a Ravel's Bolero album, probably the Leonard Bernstein version that came out in 1980 and my dad probably bought it after watching '10,' a movie I wasn't allowed to watch at the time. Even though the album was so out of place with the rest of his mostly 60s rock collection, it took me a while to realize, probably after I finally watched '10,' that it was probably bought as music to "bang" to.
