Always on the lookout for something NEW ...

As Long as it is melodic , I am always open to New music , this is my latest enjoyable discovery...

Try some Andrea Bocelli .....


I listened to a show on radio last night , and two tracks stood out , I haven't the track list yet , but click 50 mins into the show , and WOW!

click listen again.....and go to about 55 mins into the show ............. Spanish and Italian meet in a most amazing beautiful way , a really enriching listen .

Classical, cyg!! ... Nah, I like the occasional listen to any sort of classical stuff and Bocelli's a very talented performer. I wasn't aware that he was blind until only a year or 2 ago, but he's certainly gifted in other areas!

Hi KristianJ

I just read that he is blind and I didn't believe it , but now you say it as well I am kinda shocked , I think I have seen him on TV and I didn't think he was blind.

I have a soft spot for classical music , perhaps that is why I love YES ...

He is blind? Well that explains a lot of things!! I saw him on TV and someone was talking to him and it looked like he was not even paying attention, but now it makes sense!

Hello, Cygnus

This is really interesting, Cygnus, as I only have a few CDs of my very own and one of them is: Cieli Di Toscana.......Andrea Bocelli. I like some songs better than others on this CD, though they're all really good. Here are the lyrics for Melodramma, a song whose melody shows the brilliant range of Andrea's voice. So pure, so beautiful......

Melodramma

Questa mia canzone
Inno dellamore
Te la canto adesso
Con il mio dolor
Cos forte, cos grande
che mi trafigge il cuor.

Ma limpido il mattino
tra i campi odor di vino
Io ti sognavo e adesso
Ti vedo ancora l
Ah, quanta nostalgia
Affresco di collina
Io pango che pazzia
Fu andarsene poi via.

Questa melodia
Inno dellamore
Te la canto e sento
Tutto il mio dolor
Cos forte, cos grande
che mi trafigge il cuor.

Ma limpido il mattino
tra i campi un gran mulino
l nato il mio destino
amaro senza te
amaro senza te.

E questo core canta
Un dolce melodramma
linno dellamor
Che canter per te
un melodramma che
Che canto senza te.

This song of mine
hymn of love
I sing to you now
with my pain
so strong so great
it stabs my heart

But the morning is clear
among the fields the scent of wine
I dreamt of you and now
I see you still there
Ah, what memories
fresco of hills
I cry what madness
it was to leave and go

This melody
hymn of love
I sing to you and feel
all my pain
so strong, so great
it stabs my heart.

But the morning is clear
among the fields a windmill rises
there my destiny was born
Bitter without you
bitter without you

And this heart sings
a sweet melodrama
its the hymn of love
I'll sing for you
Its a melodrama
I sing without you
