all of your responses regarding this song are so lovely... as i listen to it, i am trying to put into words how i feel and i can't. this has to be one of my absolute favorite songs. the older i get and the more i go through, the more this song means to me. thank you, dinah. i will listen to this song until i am no longer.
"Today you're young. Too soon you're old."
Love those simple words. I'm only 20 but even still it feels like yesterday I was just a kid, playing videos game with my sister or out by the pond with my friends with no worry in the world. This song always reminds me to remember where I am and to appreciate that I'm still here because time really is the greatest commodity of all. Before you know it, it'll be time to check out whether you're ready for it or not.
This is absolute genius!! My daughter is performing to this with her dance company and it is so hauntingly beautiful. I remember the original and cannot believe Max Richter was able to get this so perfect..with the one and only vocals of Dinah! Exquisite!
I just remember sitting with two of my friends and we happened to come across this song. As soon as we played it we all fell silent, It just felt so.. full of emotion. I've never felt so much come from one song.
This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
But while a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure someone
May answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all
