This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever... It's called "Demo (Letzter Tag)" by Herbert Groenemeyer, a very popular german artist. He writes incredibly beautiful lyrics, IMO. He has a kind of "unique" voice, especially live, but that's just part of what makes him so original. I love this.
The video is very beautiful, too. Features Polina Semionova, dancing ballet. This is the video with english subtitles... Please do not let this thread die the same lonely death like my last one. [Edited 2/10/09 11:59am] | |

Awwww Beautiful lyrics indeed I am always so fascinated with love songs in other languages. I love hearing the inflection and interpretation in other tongues. I usually prefer to hear the song without explanation first to kind of feel my way around blind then have the light turned on with a native translation

Unfortunately without english subs. This is an incredibly sad song. It's about his wife who died of cancer on the day his brother was buried. He died of cancer. THE WAY - English I can no longer see Don't believe my eyes anymore Can hardly believe Feelings all turned around I'm much too lazy To give up Besides it would be too soon Because there's always a way We were bound together Would have died for each other Bent the rain into a bow1 Lent each other our trust We tried to Turn while schussing Nothing was too late But much was too soon We have shoved each other Through all the tides We got sidetracked together Loved desperately We denied the truth The best we could It was a piece of heaven That you exist Every room you Flooded with sun Every frustration You turned around Nordic noble Your gentle goodness Your untamed pride Life isn't fair Danced the movie In a silver room From a golden balcony We stood in awe of eternity Helplessly sunken, drunken And everything was allowed Together in time-lapse Midsummer-Night's Dream Every room you Flooded with sun Every frustration You turned around Nordic noble Your gentle goodness Your untamed pride Life isn't fair Your confident stride Your true poetry Your serene dignity Your unshakeable grace Your destiny You defied You never betrayed Your plan for happiness Your plan for happiness I'm not leaving here I've extended my stay New time travel Open world I have you safe Inside my soul I'll carry you with me Until the curtain falls I'll carry you with me Until the curtain falls 1 A play on the words "Regenbogen" (rainbow) and "gebogen" (bent) [Edited 2/10/09 11:52am] | |
