Sebben, Crudele, Mi Fai Languir, Sempre Fedele Ti Voglio Amar.
For starters, go to the Deadwing microsite to hear some samples from Porcupine Tree's upcoming album as well as some cool recording footage. They will be releasing a single in America sometime in February, with the actual album being released in March. Catherine's a happy girl.
In other music news, Mrs. Vinson's holding Literary Meet solo tryouts on Tuesday, and I'm going to try out for it. I'm going to use "Caro mio ben" as my piece because Mrs. Vinson said we needed a song in another language, and I learned this song with my voice teacher, Mrs. Taddie, in 2001. I've been touching it up today and it sounds pretty good. I've also been learning "Sebben, crudele" on the side for fun. I feel like I have a pretty good chance at getting the tryouts, so hopefully I'll be picked.
I'm looking forward to the three-day weekend coming up; we're only two weeks into the second semester and I'm already dying for a break. I've been putting off my homework, and unfortunately it's piled up a bit. In fact, I still haven't finished some stuff that's due tomorrow, so maybe I should scoot. God, Procrastination is a cruel bitch.
Ooh, before I leave, I came across some great news on the Silverchair Website: A group of bands are holding a concert in Australia to raise money for the tsunami victims, and Silverchair is one of them! They're going to perform again! God, I've been scared that Silverchair were just going to fade off the map and disappear. They'll be playing on the 17th, and hopefully someone will post a video on the forum. Exciting!
Je t'ai croisée
Un samedi soir
Et j'ai jeté sur ta silhouette
Une poignée d'épices colorées
Mon but était clair
T'envoûter
Tout en restant
Libre-moi et libre-toi
Car le roi de l'amour
N'a plus besoin d'esclaves
Adieu, adieu la nuit
Adieu tristesse, adieu les larmes
Je ne suis plus celui
Que tu as connu, plus le même
Ô bel enfant
Qui a tant pleuré
Adieu tout est fini
Adieu les larmes, adieu la nuit
Et le soleil de minuit a brillé pour nous
Jusqu'à l'arrivée du jour
Alors nous nous sommes séparés
Comme déjà saturés des délices du futur
Et j'ai marché seul
Guidé par ton ombre
J'ai traversé la ville déserte
Encore étincelante
Du voyage des rêveurs
Je t'ai croisé un samedi soir
Et déjà j'aimais l'odeur de ton rire
Et le soleil de minuit a brillé pour nous
Jusqu'à l'arrivée du jour
