Music

One thing to try in music is different adaptations--different takes on similar themes. It can be "Lara's Theme" [by the famous composer Maurice Jarre] from Dr. Zhivago [the American film adaptation of the famous novel], which has a great alternate version in the "Suite" by Jarre and the live one from Andre Rieu. Try the great singer Anastasia Lee's version as well.

Another example is "Edelweiss", the famous white Alpine flower song from The Sound of Music [a great version is sung by operatic soprano Anastasia Lee]--many people incorrectly think this is an old song native to Austria, but it is not.
