song of the hour: Jewel – Standing Still
normally I think Jewel is pretty darned annoying, with her superfluous vocal acrobatics, but this song finds her unusually restrained.. and because of this, you can actually hear how pretty her voice is!! go jewel!!
other songs of the hour:
U2 – Miss Sarajevo
Released on the “Passengers: Original Soundtracks Volume 1” CD. it’s not listed as U2, since it’s U2 with Brian Eno. Miss Sarajevo features a bridge performed by the great tenor, Luciano Pavoratti. They lyrics are beautiful.. I have them in my AIM profile right now. =)
… in Italian…
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume
L’amore giunger
L’amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell’amore non so pi sperare
E quell’amore non so pi aspettare
…. rough translation….
You say that the river
Finds the way to the sea
And as the river
You’ll come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as the river
As the river
Love will come
Love
And I cannot pray anymore
And I cannot hope for love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore
U2 – I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Look for the version of Rattle and Hum… it’s an awe-inspiring gospel version. :)
U2 – Please
Stripped down and raw, this is a gut-wrenching song finding a new audience in a post-september 11th world.
U2 – Kite
Moved me to tears when Bono played it. It’s a song about letting go, and Bono dedicated it to his recently passed away father…
