"After The Fall" (4/2/11)
This has got to be one of the saddest songs ever written. As the story goes, Beethoven realizes that his love Theresa never would have cared about his deafness and is crushed as he realizes what might have been. Lord knows I would never want to be in this position. Nor can I ever let it happen! This video of the song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra captures this song perfectly!
Here are the lyrics:
(Theresa)
Time only time could never take me away from you And why should it try time never cares just what we do It just sits on a star and gazes down Dropping its moments all around And if I could wish upon that star I would find what you dream and then ask god to grant it
I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all For the chances I've had are now long gone And that star is no longer wished upon For on this night it seems too far away
Try I have tried to pretend that I don't care But then sleep arrives and in every dream I find you there But I don't want the past to be my life And I don't want to live inside this night But I don't want to see your shadow fade So I sleep and I dream though I don't understand it
I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all For the chances I've had are now long gone And that star is no longer wished upon For on this night it seems too far away
You can live your life in a thousand ways But it all comes down to that single day When you realize what you regret What you can't reclaim but you can't forget If I could just fall back into my life And find you there inside this night and let eternity just drift away
I'm a 55 year old college student majoring in fine arts, with 4 children (12, 18, 25, 26) and live in the metropolis of Chiloquin, somewhere in the mountains of Oregon. I am planning to go to Portland State University in Spring 2012 and major in Graphic Arts. My interests include photography, camping and other outdoor activities, as well as writing and a new interest in watercolor.
This blog is just stuff I've been writing about, some thoughts, articles I find interesting, Christianity, stories and lots of quizzes .... My it challenge, inspire and make you laugh on occasion as well! Life really is interesting!
