Had a pretty interesting encounter with a musician from a neighbouring country. Well, the language barrier was there, however, with a little of this and that and of course, with music as the universal language, all's well.
His laptop was playing this particular piece from Phantom. Wonderful piece. I recall the days when S was playing this practicing this piece on her piano and well, I had to sing along. I don't consider myself a good singer; in fact , far from that. But somehow this piece sort of stuck with me. The wonders of music, make that good music from the magical The Rt Hon. The Lord Lloyd-Webber .( That's what I understand to be his full title )
The last time I heard this piece was again, on the piano. But well, W was playing it. SL wasn't too interested to sing along with his wife who by the way has wonderful vocals. Dug into my laptop, combed through every MP3, and yes, I have it. =) Song of the moment-
Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You
No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you.
Christine Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment; turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always; promise me that all you say is true, that's all I ask of you.
Raoul Let me be your shelter, let me be your light; you're safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you.
Christine All I want is freedom, a world with no more night; and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me.
Raoul Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; let me lead you from you solitude. Say you need me with you, here beside you, anywhere you go, let me go too, that's all I ask of you.
Christine Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Say the word and I will follow you.
Together Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
