The People Behind My Eyes

You never know what you’re gonna find on this blog. For some reason I really like this song. Forget that he’s sweaty, strange looking and at times appears to have a nervous tick. The song is beautiful and the English translation I’m sure loses some of the romantic appeal to the French words but man is it pretty. A king dies because he never met you. Oh be still my beating heart. Just so you can be near me you’d be my shadow or even the shadow of my dog. I’m speechless…just speechless. The truth is, this song is also on my ipod. I kid you not. This as well as him singing Amsterdam. What’s a girl to do?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION to Ne me quitte pas:Don’t leave me

We must forget
All we can forget all we did till now
Let’s forget the cost of the breath
We’ve spent saying words unmeant
And the times we’ve lost hours that must destroy
Never knowing why everything must die at the heart of joy
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
I’ll bring back to you the pearls of rain
From a distant domain where rain never fell
And though I grow old I’ll keep mining the ground
To deck you around in gold and light
I’ll build you a domain where love’s everything
Where love is king and you are queen
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
Don’t leave me don’t leave me Don’t leave me
For you I’ll invent
Words and what they meant only you will know
Tales of lovers who fell apart and then fell in love again
There’s a story too that I can confide
Of that king who died from not meeting you
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
And often it’s true that flames spill anew
From ancient volcano’s we thought were too old
When all’s said and done scorched fields of defeat
Could give us more wheat than the fine April sun
And when evening is nigh with flames overhead
The black and the red aren’t they joined in the sky
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
Don’t leave me don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I will cry no more
I will talk no more hide myself
To look at you and see you dance and smile
And hear you sing and laugh
Let me be for you the shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand the shadow of your dog
Don’t leave me don’t leave me
Don’t leave me don’t leave me

The Inner Life of A Cell

This is a very pretty video I found on Stumble Upon of the life of a cell put to orchestral music. Very nice. My little people loved it.
