My favourite time o the day is between 4 AM and 5 AM in the morning

As a matter of fact I live in the East of Switzerland. I originally am from near Zurich, where my loved ones still are. I also worked there some time.

For these reasons I often have to get up at 4 AM to move from one corner to the other.

There is nothing more beautiful than sitting in the train and drive from the mountain area to the centre of Switzerland (passing two lakes) and watching the sun going up.
Or leaving the house and walking the empty street to the station.

The best moment for music!!!

I created a
"4 O'clock in the morning sounds" - List on my beloved i-pod that I want to share with you…
Please review and tell me what you think about it!

4.00 AM my clock rings:

I toss and turn, not wanting to get up

No surprises (from OK Computer)

I stare at the ceiling…
