When you just can't explain something
But what happens when there is something for which you just can't Google? What do you do when you come up with something that you just can't explain?
I have an angel in my book. And as she comes down to Earth, the hero can hear her song. Each angel has their own song. I go to describe what this might sound like and I have become stumped. I love the idea but am not sure on how to explain what I want. Is it the sound of a gently playing flute? Birds signing? I'm not sure.
I posted a pole on Facebook, so we will see what kind of answers I get back, but I am sure that "A Neil Peart drum solo" is not what I am looking for. : )
Tell me, have you ever had something that you just couldn't explain and if you did, how did you solve your problem?

I vote for the Neil Peart drum solo - Rush is awesome!!
Try putting more emphasis on how the hero feels rather than the sound itself. Angelic music, in my opinion, would be an etheral sound similar to the call of the Sirens and just as difficult to resist. Good post. I enjoy blogs that make me think! LOL
Thank you ladies. I will have to listen to this drum solo I guess...LOL!!
DEB- That's a very good point. I have been so fixated on the sound that I never even thought of the feelings. Thank you!!!
