The Curse

I was just thinking..i have this long blog on myspace but nothing on facebook! How fair is that? lol, so i decided to add a little something here to start with! From one of my favorite operas, Rigaletto! My grandmother bought us a whole bunch of feature films for families videos we were younger. She was one christian woman. Saved, healed, delivered, and set free! So naturally when we moved in with her we basically took on saved lives even though none of us was filled at the time. She bought us these movies at our form of entertainment a long with cable tv of course, which back then all we watched was disney channel which used to be zoog disney (i liked it a lot better than the crap we got now). But anywho this was one the movies she brought us. It wasn't the actually opera though, it was more of exert from the opera which they created a movie! It was the kind of movie you would watch in third grade music class! I really didn't like the actual movie at the time just the songs from the movie. That was probably when i got my love for musicals! but here's one of my favorite songs from the movie. It actually better in the movie because the scene starts off which that goofy character, HANS, attempting to sing this song and accompany himself on the piano..the piano sounded nice, his voice however not so much! here it is...

We've heard the tale since we were young,
Heard the songs that have been sung,
About an evil spell.

Someone beautiful is cursed
We feel sad through every verse
Til a kiss and all is well

The message that no one can teach
Is clearer to someone like me

There is no curse or evil spell
That's worse than one we give ourselves
There is no sorceror as cruel,
As the proud and angry fool.

And yet, we cry life isn't fair
Beneath our cries the truth is there

A power that will break the spell
We should know very well
Is locked within ourselves

Yet we'd rather blame,
And curse our faith and change
We run from everyone to hide from the pain
And all the shame

The story long we knew it well
About a wretched evil spell
A power that will break this curse
Oh I know all too well
Is locked within myself


That's it! it might sound familiar to some of you reading this if anyone! but yeah, when i first heard it being the child i was, i had no i dea what it was talking about. But now that i'm older and have a lot more knowledge and understanding the lyrics are more clearer to me ona personal level!
