Yes, it's gorgeous. I love how you can listen to it on a loop and not really notice the starts and ends - like a peaceful eternity.
Madonna previously adopted Malawian boy David BandaMadonna has said she is "ecstatic" after her bid to adopt a second child was approved by a Malawian court.
The 50-year-old had appealed after a lower court rejected her original application to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James, four, over residency issues.
But the appeals court said the star's commitment to helping disadvantaged children had not been considered.
"My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her," Madonna said in a statement.
She said she was "extremely grateful" to the court for its ruling.
Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula said he was arranging a passport for Mercy and was waiting to hear from Madonna about travel plans for the child.
Mercy's uncle Peter Baneti said the family welcomed the ruling.
"We hope Mercy will be joining Madonna soon," he said.
Better life
The southern African state's chief justice, Lovemore Munlo, praised Madonna's interest in helping Malawian orphans and said the child would have a better life with the star.
Madonna's lawyer on adoption verdict
The singer has founded a charity, Raising Malawi, which helps feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi's one million-plus orphans.
"In our view, Chifundo James is better taken care of by being adopted by foreign parents who will give her love and affection," he said during the appeal hearing.
She was also financially stable, he added.
"In this global village, a man can have more than one place at which he resides.
"The matter of residence should be determined at the time of application of the adoption.
"In this case, Madonna was in Malawi not by chance but by intention."
Madonna's commitment to Malawian orphans meant she could "not be described as a sojourner", he added.
Judge Esmie Chondo ruled out the adoption in April, saying prospective parents had to be resident in Malawi for 18 months.
Those rules were waived in 2006 when Madonna adopted a boy, David, from the southern African state.
Raising Malawi
Child welfare groups had argued that the residency rule was central to adoptions, and that Malawian parents should be sought before children were placed overseas.
The appeals court said the earlier decision had been based on a narrow interpretation of old laws.
But the appeal ruling has been criticised by Malawi's Human Rights Consultative Committee - a coalition of non-governmental organisations.

Undule Mwakasungula said the judge had "disregarded" international agreements on children's rights and adoptions.
"We are a bit surprised but we can't challenge it because the supreme court has ruled and we have to go with that," he said.
Mercy has been living in an orphanage since her teenage mother died shortly after giving birth.
Madonna also has two biological children - Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, aged eight.
Last month, the man believed to be Mercy's father, told US TV programme The Early Show he opposed the adoption and wanted to look after her - even though he had never met her.
After the appeal court's decision, he told CBS News: "I'm crying. I need my baby. I don't know where I can find any help."
Rehearsals of the final Gavin and Stacey series start next MondayGavin and Stacey writer and star James Corden says he's "very sad" as the cast prepare for the third and final series of the hit TV show.
Rehearsals commence on 8 June, with filming starting on 15 June.
Corden, who plays Neil 'Smithy' Smith, in the show said: "It's an emotional time because we're saying goodbye to these characters that we love.
"So the whole thing is very sad and I just hope it can be as good as possible."
However, 31-year-old Corden did not rule out working with co-writer Ruth Jones following the series' conclusion.
He added: "You know, when we wrote the words, 'This really is the end, the end', we were both a bit welled up and we looked at each other and we were sure that's it. I just hope it's good enough.
"Ruth and I, we'd like to write something else again but we're inevitably not going to spend as much time locked in a room together."
Hollywood bound
The comedian and actor is also starring in the Hollywood production of Jonathan Swift's book Gulliver's Travels, alongside Jack Black and Emily Blunt.
"I play a character called Jinks. I just pop up throughout it," said Corden. "I'm the king's assistant and the king is played by Billy Connolly so essentially it's the best job in the world, I get to hang around with him all day.
"My trailer is the same size as it is on Gavin and Stacey. The only difference is I have to walk further to get to it," he joked.
"I have to walk past bigger trailers to get to my little rabbit hutch in the corner. I can't tell you how true that is."
The final series of Gavin and Stacey is yet to have a confirmed transmission date.
Lucy Gordon played a British journalist in Spider-Man 3British actress Lucy Gordon, who appeared in Spider-Man 3, has been found dead in her Paris flat, French police have confirmed.
It is thought the actress, who was just two days away from her 29th birthday, took her own life.
An autopsy is expected to take place to determine the cause of her death - no further details have been released.
The actress will appear as Jane Birkin in a biopic Serge Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life by Joann Sfar.
The film is due to be released next year.
Speaking from the family home in Oxford her father, Richard Gordon, said: "We have always been immensely proud of her and her achievements. We love her so much.
"She was called Lucy and she has lived up to that. She has been the light of our lives...
"She was a lovely, generous, unselfish person who gave her all for others and thought of others before herself."
Mr Gordon said his daughter loved playing her latest role in the Serge Gainsbourg film.
"She found the whole team and cast wonderfully creative and supportive," he said.
He said his daughter had spent much of her childhood in France and was bilingual. She had recently moved to Paris after living in New York.
"She has been the most beautiful daughter. We are obviously devastated," he added. "It has come as a complete shock to us all."

Baby it's true
So you think I'm strong but you're feelin that you're weak
(Baby I'm you)
But we're one in the same so you're just as strong as me
(Baby I'm you)
And we deserve better it's time for us to leave
You know what to do (you know what to do)
Cause I'm not a fool (I'm not a fool)
So neither are you (so neither are you)
Baby I'm you
So pick yourself up right now
We've been here too long (here too long)
We've overstayed it enough
That might have been
It's been a long time gone
So wipe away the tears
Ain't nothing for us here
The time has come to move on

Scared of losin' all the time
He wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine
He heard you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
The ripples and the lines
He asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?"
That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
Oh, they say you can see your future
Inside a glass of water
The riddles and the rhymes
"Will I see heaven in mine?"
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all
And you chime
Stars in heaven align
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Son, don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast
What are we drinking when we're done?
Glasses of water.

Glamorous indie rock and roll
Is what I want
It's in my soul
It's what I need
Indie rock and roll
It's time
Two of us
Flipping through a thrift store magazine
She plays the drums
I'm on tambourine
Betcha your bottom dollar on me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me
In the clutch of talking every word for all the boys
Electric girl with worn down toys
Making up, breaking up
What do you care?
Oh, what do you care?
I'll take my twist with a shout
A coffee shop with a cause
Man, I'll freak you out
No sex, no drugs, no like
No love when it comes to today
Stay if wanna love me
Stay,
Oh, don't be shy
Let's cause a scene
Like lovers do
On silver screens
Let's make it, yeah
We'll cause a scene
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's indie rock and roll for me
It's all I need
It's indie rock and roll for me
(In the clutch of talking every word for all the boys)
It's indie rock and roll for me
