Passionate, profound, and deeply moving, The Hours is the story of three women: Clarissa Vaughan, who one New York morning goes about planning a party in honor of a beloved friend; Laura Brown, who in a 1950s Los Angeles suburb slowly begins to feel the constraints of a perfect family and home; and Virginia Woolf, recuperating with her husband in a London suburb, and beginning to write Mrs. Dalloway.

The Hours (1)

I chose this song by Ludovico Einauldi because I think it resembles the tone/mood found at the beginning of the book. The beginning opens with the suicide of Virginia Woolf. This song starts off slow, but gradually builds; this characteristic resembles the blast of freedom that Virginia Woolf feels when she dies and how she is no longer boggled down by her animate headaches; lastly, the repetition of the main theme throughout the song reflects how even though Virginia Woolf may be dead, her spirit still continues to exist and she is aware of everything that is happening around her.
