THIS IS LOVELY
I love it when youtube video moves me. Thespadecalleralways does an artful presentation. ......................................................
...................................................... Uploaded by Thespadecaller I especially like the slow tempo of the video. It is perfectly suited to the whole effect.
Do yourself a blessing and click on the video and see it at youtube.
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each restless heart beats so imperfectly; But when you come and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be.
The song was originally written as an instrumental piece and titled "Silent Story." It is sung by Daniel P. Collins. The melody is based on a traditional Irish tune and was written by Rolf Lovland with lyrics by Brendan Graham. This Spadecaller video features photos and artwork by Matthew Schwartz.
I am watching the tv series Roar that was made available on DVD in the year of 2006. I only discovered it through Heath Ledger lover-of-his-work-and-person...jopicca. I am sorry, Johanna, I don't know how to describe you....if you have a description that better suits you, please let me know and I'll edit this paragraph!

I was watching the Tash episode and at the end I was simply immersed in the beauty of the scene with Heath's Connor and Vera Farmiga's Caitlin. Heath is so Heath in this scene. You just fall in love with him. Again...if you already love him. He was so very young . Just 18 years old. (Birth April 4, 1979.)
........................................................................ At 5:40 - to the end - is just soul-breath-taking. Get ready . . . Part 4 of the 4 uploads of Tash on youtube Uploaded by lostwithoutme
The ending is so elevating and yet deeply moving all at the same time.
The Loreena McKennitt Music
The music wasn't credited at the end, as happens in movies. So I did a google search and found it was Loreena McKennitt. Now, I know, Johanna. I understand the power of this music that you introduced to me. This music is what you put on your lovely Roar and Heath tribute youtube video, posted November 25, 2009 (top video of this post). Now, I understand even more. I was telling someone yesterday about your video, Johanna, and the music that made your video so special for me. I hadn't heard Loreena McKennitt on the other Roar episodes that I am progressing through. Then, the ending of the Tash episode. nn...n...nnnn...just delicious for the soul.
The more I learn of Heath and see his work ~ I am just so in awe. So truly sad he is no longer here to enjoy as a fellow human being. What a gift. Such a willing soul to show us his soul. You can see the depth of Heath, but it is more subtle in Roar. They were so fortunate to have Heath star in Roar. Every time I begin an episode, I wait for it....
Heath Ledger
as the first name shown on screen.
For some reason, it is a nice feeling to see his name there, upfront - knowing he was just starting out on his acting path. It must have been so cool for him.
And what I justlove, more than other works of his, that I have so enjoyed him in, is that the Roar directors' gave us such tight shots on Heath's face. Just brilliant and so right to do.

While the original airing of the show ~ North America did not broadcast all of the episodes, when syndicated to Australia, Canada and the UK, all episodes were aired.
Roar: The Complete Series was released on DVD on September 19, 2006. The 3-disc set includes all thirteen episodes, even those which were never aired in the United States.
It is amazing that US TV is so stupid, so often.
Episodes 9 through 13
9...Tash 10..Traps 11..Daybreak 12..The Cage
13..Sweet Bridget (DVD must refer to this as Sweet Bright) May 28, 2000

UPDATE: Thanks to Johanna for the correct information about the above picture and for helping me with my proofreading. McKennitt is the correct spelling. I hope I caught all my misspellings of Loreena's last name.

Full Circle - Lyrics
Loreena McKennitt
Stars were falling deep in the darkness
as prayers rose softly, petals at dawn
And as I listened, your voice seemed so clear
so calmly you were calling your god
Somewhere the sun rose, o'er dunes in the desert
such was the stillness, I ne'er felt before
Was this the question, pulling, pulling, pulling you
in your heart, in your soul, did you find rest there?
Elsewhere a snowfall, the first in the winter
covered the ground as the bells filled the air
You in your robes sang, calling, calling, calling him
in your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?

I am stuck. On Rafael Nadal. So, if you are too......

Go to the blog, THE PASSION FOR TENNIS, to see it. Instructions are below. Any questions? Put them in my comment window. Okay? ……………………………………………..

Q: With which player you could not do especially not for a double team? A: Soderling

I love my life. I love where I live. And I am passionate about my passions. I love to dance. Necessary to live: music, piano, singing, writing, acting, painting.
I have been fighting for and supporting the arts all my adult life. Since 2004, I have been working with other activists to end the Darfur genocide.
I have traveled to Europe many times since my early twenties. Places I have been: many USA states including Hawaii, Montreal, Canada, Barbados, France, Spain, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany - and have wonderful memories.
My last trip was in May - June 2013 to Spain.
I would like to travel to Europe and Kyoto, Japan.
I love the southwest where I have visited Hopi, Navajo, Zia and San Idlefonso potters.
Life is exciting and I intend to live it full-out to the end.
B.S. and M.M., both in music

Genocide is not only a word,
it is crying of the whole human race.
There is nothing redeeming about being silent
when speaking up is the humane thing to do.
The honor and integrity of the human race is at stake.
