Up in the front.." 0:00:12.980,0:00:31.695 Female Speaks: The type of music his parents listen to can alter the baby's mood. Fast music will stimulate and excite him. (music plays) 0:00:31.695,0:00:41.448 (muffled music plays) 0:00:41.448,0:00:50.364 Music was as closest to the natural sounds and rhythms of the human voice, such as classical or choral music will have a sedating, calming effect. 0:00:50.364,0:01:32.600 (slow music plays) 0:01:32.600,0:01:43.213 (Man reads poem) "Shall I tell you what I like? Choral music, sung with feeling! Rock and roll played too loud will have me banging on the ceiling. 0:01:43.213,0:01:52.440 Give me a steady beat and I'll dance. But what I prefer is a slow pulse. 0:01:52.440,0:02:00.897 Music that calms but almost hypnotizes. Shall I tell you what I don't like?

A victim of appetites and strange desires. 0:03:56.960,0:04:08.511 Utterly needs I can only guess at. Looking ahead, I see it now.
