Ashokan Farewell

It's the tune that Ken Burns used as the signature tune for his Civil War series. Gets me every time.
 
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point trying to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.



George Strait
 
I've been listening to the new Coldplay CD a lot lately. This song tears my heart out for some reason.

Chris Martin is such a brilliant lyricist and an amazing musician. :heart:

Yes, their new album is something different. There's some artistic evolution that has gone on there but it's working for me! I love it when a band can do that!
 
Contessa, perdono, from The Marriage of Figaro. To err is human - to forgive, divine, which makes Mozart divine. Ostensibly, it's a farce, but the music...

The Coventry Carol - wonderfully poignant to anyone with a child especially. Carols don't have to be sentimental or trite.

Ne me Quitte Pas - Jacques Brel. The most pitiful, abject, begging song ever penned by a broken-hearted man. And he throws everything into his performance.

Where did you sleep last night? - Nirvana Unplugged. Raw emotion from a man shortly to commit suicide.

Les Cerisiers - Jean Ferrat. Played at my father's funeral: a life-long socialist who did not see the future he hoped for. The cherry trees are a symbol of the Paris Commune, and are a short-hand for the best kind of hope: that which is not retained for oneself, but passed on to the next generation.
 
A friend just found this for me the other day. For the Stevie Nicks fans, it's really a most beautiful song and such a delight to hear her sing. Her lyrics are always so touching.

I am glad you agree. It should be shown to every X-Factor wannabe, followed by the words, "Now that is how you perform. And if you can't match that, go home now and do something more useful with your time, like clearing out the shed or stamp-collecting."
 
The Flame Still Burns - from one of my favourite movies (Still Crazy).

(For my best friend who died unexpectedly nearly two years ago, come August. I miss him every day but as the song says, he's there in my soul / like an unfinished goal :rose: ).

Yes, like this...

Celine Dion - Ne me Quitte Pas

She is my greatest love. She touches my very soul. In my eyes, such a beautiful performer, so very talented. She is the divine. :heart:

Oh dear Lord. There ought be a law. When the revolution comes, there will be.

Why not One Direction's version of Ave Maria, while we're at it. And I'd love to hear Beyonce's take on Mozart's Requiem.

*gasp*

No law! She has been around far longer than One Direction or Beyoncé! She is a dream :)

AND, she does a breathtaking rendition of Ave Maria!

I'm sure. As the suspected terrorists in Afghanistan underwent 'rendition' to Guantanamo. I know which experience I'd rather undergo, and it wouldn't be submitting to the egocentric vibrato of the Canadian Vegas showgirl.

That's too funny, DesEsseintes.

I call this my four and a half minute mind vacation. I think it's sensual too.
