Song of the week

Hello, Everyone:

Some days are just really long...

Some weeks are just really long...

And during those sorts of times I have some music that I refer to as my 'soul' music. It's the music that I connect to the most, that makes me feel like my very soul is touched by music.

There's one song in particular that I've been very into lately. It's in Italian (Okay fine. It's an Il Volo song...) and I listened to it while I read the English translation and I sort of fell in love with it.

I've sat her for the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to make columns so that I could have the English and Italian side by side...
Alas and alack, blogger doesn't have that feature. Or I'm just to dense to figure it out.

So you'll have to settle with just the English translation while you listen to the Italian. Capisce?

(Oh yeah, and the music video is kinda purdy. :)

I'm here

Look at me

Me with you, I feel that

There's no other way that isn't ours

It's a breath with no ending

I'll be there if you want

If you'll be in danger

I'll protect you

From the evil you'll witness

I'll be there for you

I'm here

Live me

Every day

Until the end

I am a rather hopeless romantic I think. These lyrics are such a perfect description of marriage to me. I love how this song is kind of a 'no matter what, we're going to get through it together' sort of thing.

There's never another way

That is not ours

The emotion between us

Has no end

I'll be there if you want

If you'll be in danger

I'll protect you

From the evil you'll witness

I'll be there for you

To defend your mistakes

Don't let the world change you

No, I'll fight for you

No, I'll be there for you

I'm here, I'll be there

I'll be there if you want

You'll see it will be beautiful

I'll protect you

From the evil you'll witness

I'll be there for you

I'm here

Live me

So yeah. This song gives me all the feels. All dem. On my more emotional days, I may or may not get a bit teary. (Though I've been known to get teary over lots of things, including lame motivational quotes so... )

Was this post a bit sappy? Well yes, yes it was. But I don't care!

Let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it? Come on! Talk music with me!

God Bless,
Amy

We are Love

Moonlight draws your colors in the dawn

While the sound of silence in the wind feels

Like an empty song

This seemed like an appropriate song to head back into the blogging world with. Mostly because they're currently the lyrics on my new header and I want y'all to have them in context. :)

It's no secret that I'm the tiniest bit obsessed with Il Volo....Oh wait. I haven't blogged in ages and there's no way for you to know that. So it probably is a bit of a secret!

Well, stick around, my friend, it won't be for long!

As the rain begins to fall down

Like a million tears

And the heaven shining

Through the clouds, girl

I can feel you here

There really isn't an Il Volo song that I don't like, but this song just grew on me. I listened to it  the first time like, "Ah, that's so pretty!" but it did get a little lost in the shuffle (literally. My mp3 shuffle) of my top ten Il Volo songs. Top Fifteen? Twenty? 

Never mind that. Skip (Look at all these so not intentional puns!) *Ahem*...skip to me listening to it again. And again and again and again. 

Don't you ever lose me

I could never lose you

Can't you feel?

We are love

Like the Earth and ocean

We're the same devotion you and me

We are love

I love the lyrics so much! They melt my lil' heart like an ice cube in direct sunlight. Puddles, people. Puddles.

Not convinced yet? 

Sunlight burning deep into the eyes

And it blinds the sadness of a tear so

We can see the skies

When you're ever feeling lonely

And life just gets you down

Hear the beating whispers of my heart

I know you've come around

Oh, and this song has the fabulous bonus of a really nice music video. Which you absolutely must watch, if for no other reason that to have little Italians with incredible eyes stare soulfully at you. 

I will always need you

If you ever need me, can't you see?

We are love

Like the Earth and ocean

We're the same devotion you and me

We are love

Lift you hands, let's your feelings rise

We're like a river flowing to the sea

You and me

Yeah, so...

This music...It's silly to say it makes me feel safe. But it does! 

What did you think? Love it, hate it? 

Do you have any music that makes you  feel safe? Come on, talk music with me!

God Bless,

Amy
