"There'll be no ties of time and space to bind us."
"And no horizon I could not pursue."
"We'll leave the world's misfortunes far behind us
And I will put my faith and trust in you..." ❤️😭

chills still after all these years

[@TimeandMonotony]

This song has strong "Somewhere" vibes, unsurprising considering they're both star-crossed lovers stories.
Beautiful!

I'm desperately searching for an unforgettable college audition piece.....and I found this show, I have heard of it of course but I keep telling myself I'll watch it later and I just listened to the whole soundtrack and in awe. Sadly I'm male so there is no solos of the caliber I'm looking for here for me

[@leonardo_Fabri]

Gabriel Generally Elaborate Lives is a good song for a male singer, don't you think? The whole song is so passionate, with possibilities to do runs and all...

We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart suvives
Days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don''t want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be
Slower and gentler,wiser, free
We all live in extravagant times
Playing games
we all can't win
Unintended emotional crimes
take some out take others in
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to keep your heart
May this confession be the start
I know you'll give me courage
to face what I must face
with all these complications
in another time and place
Aida and Radames:
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
An affair of the heart survives
All the pain the world can do
Radames:
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to live like that
Aida:
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you
Now and forever peaceful,true

[@welpshi]

[@17yellowpigs]

Aida and Radames just got sentenced to be buried alive (together) for treason, so they admit their love for each other one last time before they die together.

[@welpshi]
