Six Wives Fanmix
Alas, the wonderful TV show The Tudors has come to an end! historical and inaccurate all at the same time, bit all in one: very entertaining and easy on the eyes (like, no ugly person on that show I swear) I found myself screwing around on my iPod and iTunes making a mix for Henry's infamous six wives to listen to. Each of them unique in their own way. Most of the songs are 'classical' but a wee bit of pop in there. The songs either represent the wives themselves and/or their thoughts towards Henry and vice versa. If all fails, its all good music I say!
La Notte Eterna - Emma Shaplin
Voi cui eternità
A posto in braccia
Mia vita
Voi che d'altro mondo
Sognate, d'a-altre fia-amme
Ma non so per ch'io sia
O mo-orta ripa
Del mio stato-infelice
L'stato-infelice!
Com' ch'il cie-el non più vede
(Italian)
White Flag - Dido
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Blinding - Florence & The Machine
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
My Heart Will Go On - Vittorio Gigrolo
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Whatcha Say - Jason Derulo
I was so wrong for so long
Only tryin' to please myself
Girl, I was caught up in her lust
When I don't really want no one else
So, no, I know I should've treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever
So let me in
(Let me in)
Give me another chance
(Another chance)
To really be your man
Last Rose Of Summer - Hayley Westenra
Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flow'r of her kindred
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem,
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I'll scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So She Dances - Josh Groban
A waltz when she walks in the room
She pulls back the hair from her face
She turns to the window to sway in the moonlight
Even her shadow has grace
A waltz for the girl out of reach
She lifts her hands up to the sky
She moves with the music
The song is her lover
The melody's making her cry
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know where to start?
She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
Beautiful Intentions - Melanie C
So blind that I can't decide if you knew that I harboured
Beautiful intentions for you
So cruel that I never knew truly
If you harboured beautiful intentions for me
When they give you your identity
Tell me will you recognise yourself?
You're so influenced by the things that you hear
Down with the smoke screen to make everything clear
Oh oh oh
You gotta learn to live and take it in your stride
Un Regalo Que Te Dio La Vida - IL Divo
Si ella te quiere y es el amor de tu vida
entrégale todo, ámala sin medida,
demuéstrale a diario que es ella tu reina,
tu consentida, que conocerla fue un milagro,
un regalo que te dio la vida
(It's originally; Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman, but just sung in Spanish)
One More Walk Around The Garden - Sarah Brightman
That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander.
The leaves may be falling,
But April is calling
And the prim roses beckon me yonder.
For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore.
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more.
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate.
That old arch is saying
It's time to go straying
When no one but April can find me.
To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me.
Just one more walk along the garden
One more stroll along the shore.
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more.
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate.
