the emotion of music
today while i'm doing "1st day of vacation" cleaning, i decided to just play music on the computer from my library. included in that is Christmas music. i am one of those people who can definately listen to Christmas music all year long. it just makes me happy.
but the song that came on a few minutes ago made me stop, just to close my eyes and listen. this song makes my insides do things i don't understand. i want to weep. not with sadness, not with joy, but just such strong emotion for something so beautiful. it's not even really a Christmas song, but it's on a Christmas album.
it's called "The Prayer" by Celine Dion with Andrea Bocelli. It partially in italian, which to me is such a beautiful language. i understand a bit, but that's not even it. i never really pay attention to the words. i think it's just the combination of their two voices that make it so special to me.
i can't explain. i just felt the need to share.
check it out, this video isn't quite the same as hearing it in hi-def stereo, but maybe you'll understand what i mean.
edit: after doing a youtube search, i've come up with another. again, just feeling the need to share.

i saw a few others, and i think it's him, and the pairing. i sw one of him singing with kat mcfee from american idol, and it was beautiful. it didn't make me weep, but it was great. i also saw one with him singing the phantom of the opera. that one did bring me to tears.
i now want to own his music.
