« I will not die »

In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day

To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?

That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.

What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?

( "A Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe )

Ну, раз прозвучала "Мелодия печали ", тогда - следом - того же музыканта,
композитора Фрэнка Дюваля /Frank Duval - песня.
Необыкновенная.
Столько безысходной тоски , столько раздрай/чувств, слёзы закипают ... и робкая "звучит/видится" в песне улыбка - надежда на светлый исход ...

Каждый раз , когда её слушаю ...
а люблю очень её, потому что музыка - необыкновенная,
исполнение - проникновенное.
Да, вот - слушаю и изумляюсь: надо же, кажется - тривиальный такой песне-сюжет ,
ведь, как ни крути - неразрешимый же любовный треугольник :
она, он и ... его жена.
А поди ж ты , как трогает.

*зарёваный смайл*

А речь о песне, в исполнении Нидерландской ( Голландской)
поп-певицы Ингрид Кап/ Ingrid Kup.
Песня вошла в альбом "Feel me" (1982)

« Ingrid Kup is a dutch singer, born 11th of april 1954, started her solo career in 1978. She used to be very successful.

Ingrid Kup, great voice, no recognition.
Once she was half of the duo Big Mouth & Little Eve who had one hit (Uncle) in 1975. In 1977 the duo stopped and Willem (Big Mouth) and Ingrid (Little Eve) both went solo.

In 1981 Ingrid collaborated with Frank Duval and made a few singles and an album. Frank wrote the songs and produced them. The songs can be discribed as powerballads (think Bonnie Tyler or Doro)»





« I will not die »

«That's still a beautiful song composed by Frank Duval, the one who has composed much music for the German police series 'Derrick'.
Ingrid Kup has an amazing voice! 'I will not die' is from her album 'Feel me', all compositions by Frank Duval. The song was used as title song for the Dutch movie 'Het beest' in which entertainer Willem Ruis played the main role.»

Слушаем? Сопереживаем?

« I will not die »

Music - Frank Duval.
Ingrid Kup.
Album - « Feel me »

Stay or go –

I can’t stand it anymore ...

You must know -

- me

or her ?

You are wavering and that hurts

I will not die when you leave me,

I will not cry – you can believe me

Night after night I am waiting for you,

Night after night I am longing for you -

For your touch, for your love

I will not die when you leave me,

I will not cry – you can believe me

Night after night I am waiting for you,

Night after night I am longing for you -

For your touch, for your love

Stay or go –

You need us both, I know

She’s your wife, that’s true,

But I’m not made to share my love with her

I will not die when you leave me,

I will not cry – you can believe me

Night after night I am waiting for you,

Night after night I am longing for you -

For your touch, for your love

( проигрыш )

Night after night

I am waiting for you,

Night after night

I am longing for you -

For your touch,

for your love

I will not die when you leave me,

I will not cry – you can believe me

Night after night I am waiting for you,

Night after night I am longing for you -

For your touch, for your love ...

Такая вот драма.
Житейская такая трагедЬ.

А в песнопении принимали участие очень ... эээ...
многоговорящие живописные сюжеты молодой американской
художницы Кэрри Грабер / Carrie Graber.

Теплые тона ее картин , изысканность и мягкость освещения
создают идеальный
состав света и контраста.
Её реалистичный, смелый подход согревает чувства и создает
ощущение интимности.
Большое влияние на творчество художницы оказал
голландский художник Вермеер.

Они, эти холсты /сюжеты так реалистичны /современны, так здоровки ( да?)
вписываются в сюжет песнопения: нет, нет сил делить любимого
( ха-ха! с женой! ), обещает не умереть, еcли он оставит её ( не жену, а - её!)
и даже - не плакать, и обещает снова и снова - каждую ночь - ждать его ...
М-да ... Как не всплакнуть?

« Carrie Graber is considered to be among the most talented, exciting and well-collected artists in the world today.

With her warm tones and exquisite control of illumination creating a perfect composition of light and contrast, Carrie captures the beauty and subtlety of familiar environments, which are often overlooked.

Her soft, realistic but also bold approach warms the viewers' senses and creates a feeling of intimacy.

This is the link between Carrie and one of her main influences,
Dutch master painter Vermeer.

Carrie Graber has always been fascinated with the human figure.

At the early age of 3 or 4, it was evident that she was destined to draw and paint.
Her artistic family encouraged her studies
at the esteemed Art Center in California,
where she received a full scholarship and graduated with distinguished honors.

Carrie released her initial body of work in 1998, at only 23 years of age.
She continues to accumulate an impressive amount of accolades
and awards with each new collection.

Scholars and experts from several different institutions have
predicted that as our aesthetics evolve, art will become less reliant on overt color, and come to depend more on the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
Ms. Graber’s work is perfectly suited for the new millennium.»

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory --

Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

( "Music, When Soft Voices Die " by Percy Bysshe Shelley )
