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.

The text from Thespadecaller

Lyrics:

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.

Per te

Josh Groban ~ Italian Per Te Lyrics

Sento nell'aria profumo di te
Piccoli sogni vissuti con me
Ora lo so
Non voglio perderti
Quella dolcezza così senza età
La tua bellezza rivali non ha
Il cuore mio vuole soltanto te
Per te, per te, vivrò L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te avrò
Mille giorni di felicità Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
Dimmi che tu già il futuro lo sai
Dimmi che questo non finirà mai
Senza di te non voglio esistere

Per te, per te, vivrò L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità

Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
Non devo dirtelo
Ormai già lo sai
Che morirei senza di te
Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, farò
Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

I smell in the air the scent of you
Little dreams had lived with me
Now I know, I don't want to lose you
That sweetness which has no age
Your beauty has no rivals

My heart wants only you
For you, for you, I live
The love I win with you, with you . . .
A thousand days of happiness,
A thousand nights of serenity
I will do what you ask
I will always go wherever you go
I will give all my love for you
Tell me that you already know the future
Tell me that this will never end
Without you I do not exist
For you, for you, I live
The love I win with you, with you,
A thousand days of happiness,
A thousand nights of serenity

I will do what you ask
I will always go wherever you go
I will give all my love for you
I do not have to tell you
Now I already know
I would die without you

Want something else cool? I wasn't going to post this yet, because. . . well Christmas is a ways off yet but, okay, no embed, just the link. . . now go and enjoy . . . http://youtube.com/watch?v=nx0C5ZDi1rs

(I reserve the right to post another O Holy Night another time, though. I just like this one because it has that "extra" inspirational-Josh ~ the setting and all ~ had to be awe-inspiring for Josh to soar like he does here.)
