Why can't all music inspired by love and drugs sound like Hector Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique? I long for days when artists tell a story using harps, bassoons, timpani, and strings. You can read more about this masterpiece here. If you don't have an hour to spend on this, I insist that you start at minute 51 and listen to the end for something you may already know. Also, you really should take a moment to soak up the conductor's method and style of directing. I'd trade 3 high school band directors for him....
