I was walking around Berlin during the Festival of Lights when I heard a saxophone playing outside the Brandenburg Gate.

It was around 7:30 PM.

I had no idea what song the musician was playing, but something about the sound, the night, and the atmosphere made me stop walking.

I ended up recording five minutes of the performance on my Vivo X300 Pro.

The Brandenburg Gate was completed in 1791. That evening, I wasn't thinking about its history or taking the perfect tourist shot. I was just enjoying a street musician playing a song I couldn't identify.

Funny how an unfamiliar song can become a moment you remember.

For those who live in Berlin or have visited, where have you come across a street musician who made you stop and listen?
