Showing Emotions Through Music


A few days back on Facebook, I was sent a music video on my profile wall by a beautiful man who in many ways changed my life.  I do wish, for many reasons, that we could make a relationship happen but I am here and he is in Italy.  He is a very passionate man and strong in his convictions.

So......as I said, he sent me a video of an Italian songstress from the 1960's.  Her name is Ornella Vanoni.  I had never heard of her until now but have fallen in love with her voice and her style.  I think she is the embodiment of Italian music from that era.  The song which my friend chose to send me is entitled "Una Ragione Di Piu`" loosely translated as "A Reason For More."  The moment I heard it I was able to pick up on not only her emotions but the emotions that amico mio was conveying to me.  Although I cannot understand all the words I picked up on the message and felt sad.  I truly believe that music can bridge language barriers and even emotional barriers that keep us from expressing things with our own words.

Since I can't seem to be able to upload the video here is the linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lut-OPfeTMc...enjoy the passion and emotion!!
