This is the best rendition of Vesti La Giubba I've heard/seen. My favorite part of my favorite opera. If you don't like it or feel the pain expressed here then you have no soul.

Certain memories I have that I will always cherish. Times when I was filled with emotion and a warmth in my heart. Some before and some after the dark times. When the sun stopped rising and things were cast in shadow. Not entirely devoid, but in a constant state of stagnation. There was when we were just two kids trying to figure things out. This...

Don't let it worry you too much dear. Just take me down to the water. Things aren't as bleak as they seem. Your heart may be heavy, but things are just beginning. You see, I will always be here. The space between the stillness of the air is where you're hear me breathing. The silence between your heart beats is where you'll feel me embracing...

This is not meant to trample on anyone's beliefs who might read this. I firmly hold that every person has a right to believe what he or she feels is right and I would not wish to inflict my views upon you in a way that would seem like I was trying to force you to convert to my way of thinking. This is simply...

You were growing impatient. Every few steps you would catch your foot on something and nearly fall, but I held you and kept you safe. You complained that it was taking too long and wanted to remove the blindfold. I kept saying, "just a little longer dear," and did my best to watch where your feet were landing. The sun had begun to set and...

Dream softly my dear. Picture the warm sunrise or the brilliant moonlight that we had come to love. I hope that you are floating there out among the stars, your kin. With music playing around you as you dance and drift out further. Enveloped in a warmth of your own making. Thick nebulous clouds surrounding you and tracing your movements. They leave lines where you...

"cause what i feel inside
i dont want to hide
it's you that got to me
its what i want to sing
cause i've got a dream for us
running through my mind
sitting on the beach
looking at the sea
and we're old and tired
and time has made us smile
as we go on counting things
people in the breeze
we're not the...

There are events I had always hoped would come to pass. Perhaps they will still. I can only hope that this is the case. One in particular that I wanted to share with you because your presence is more than wanted, it is absolutely required. We are driving through the night. The air outside is still warm and the windows are down. You let your...

How do you describe an emotion? How do you share it with someone? Do you compare it to other emotions? This fails to me. It fails because you cannot describe or define something by using another example of the same thing. What am I saying, is there just one emotion? Are all these things we call anger, love, happiness, sadness, hate...are they all just variables...

Many of us struggle with boredom and try to fill our lives with something other than trivial entertainment. We see characters like Don Quixote and say that he is the epitome of what we should go against. Only living through the experiences of others and never having them ourselves. To a certain extent I believe that this is a genuinely good way to look at...

And you will know that she was that girl. The one you dreamed about. The one you created in your mind. That simple, elgant perfection that had always existed in your thoughts. But she was there, standing, wanting nothing more than to be with you. Yet you turned away. You said, "it can't work." You with your jaded sighs and apathetic fixation. "The heart doesn't...

He walked into the large cavernous catholic church that was nearly empty at that time of night. Somwhere toward the front the figure of a man could be seen wearing all black, sitting over something and studying intently, seemingly undisturbed by the loud groaning of the heavy oak door. Our man quietly made his way over to the confession booth to rid himself of the...
