    Man, the Orpheus character is just made so much more compelling by this unison singing. I love that the greatest musician of all time has such a beautiful voice that one regular person's isn't enough to portray it onstage. Beautiful rendition.

    Something I noticed when transcribing this melody: Euridice uses a minor third when she asks Orpheus these hard questions about the wedding. When Orpheus responds he swaps in a major third which gives the feeling of optimism in his response. Orpheus only does this once each verse, then switches back to the minor third. I like to think he switches back because he's a good musician and knows how to stay funky with the groove of this awesome song.

    I prefer this tempo and this groove to what's in the show! Anaïs, you are a brilliant writer and a wonderful performer, too! As André de Shields said, you are an oracle for the troubled times we live in... Keep on telling us the stories that we so desperately need!

    As the New Year
    approaches singing
    coming near
    what blessings
    is she bringing
    I wonder as I cry
    will she be kind
    will she share the sky
    what will she find
    what will she spy
    when she examines
    my exhausted mind
    old worn out paradigms
    wrong turns
    and missed signs
    wasted tears
    realized fears
    my soul wears thin
    and stretches out again
    for the hand of compassion
    and divine grace
    for to look upon
    your angel face
    all this sin and disgrace
    will she erase
    oh so much worry
    please tell her I said
    I'm sorry
    for walking among the dead
    restore my dignity
    oh angel can't You see
    how much You mean to me
    and how far I'm come
    only to do it all over
    as just another Irish rover
    with deja vu
    counting holy ghosts
    was that One You
    our heavenly hosts
    have moved on forever
    did they leave us here
    alone
    deaf to the sound
    of gnashing teeth
    from demons beneath
    the rank of humanity
    well I must pray
    Dear Angel Violet
    what do You say
    are You all set
    have You made Your quota
    or is there room for one more
    I know God holds You accountable
    and 'knows the exact score
    and angels can't ignore accounts payable
    well I'm spirit poor
    does that get me in
    have You made up
    Your mind
    oh angel are You sure
    out with the old
    in with the new
    didn't You say
    something about
    A Whole New You
    will it apply to me
    what do You see
    a heart strong enough
    to walk together free
    don't leave me blind
    what say You
    Goddess of my dreams
    did I do my best
    am I a seer
    Or am I blind
    would You ask
    a 'seeing' man
    or a sane man to
    lose his mind
    forever praying to You
    what say You Shawn
    'knowing' what 'You' 'know'
    now
    would You ask
    did You ask
    I if I would mind
    sharing my soul
    as well
    I don't and I do
    I can't 'know' the 'unknown'
    All I 'know'
    is that I love You
    please be kind
    end
    My dear beloved eternal blessed mother sister soldier muse friend. Hello or goodbye? Ground or sky? Either way 'We' 'think' ' therefore 'We' 'Are'
    "We're' 'One' eternal blessed by grace Homeward bound soul. May I ride with You darling or do I cry alone forever 'like' but not 'as' an angel forever? In any case I loved You this year as best I could. Badly. But let's look forward to flying lessons cause I 'know' I forgot how. How I worship cherish adore celebrate and serve You Shawna Lee Colvin, the best singer I ever heard. Wishing You every good thing in 2024 Shawn. Many blessings for Your creative heart mind and soul.

    Posted on 'When You Know' just now. When can I come in from the cold darling?
    New Year 2024
    A Prayer For Peace Love And Reconciliation
    Dear Shawn Colvin
    I know that I know
    that I love You
    and I 'know' that You 'know'
    so how can I give up
    when You said Yourself
    I can't go back
    to black
    with all this blessed light
    showing the way
    imploring 'Us' to fight
    for love every day
    well I fight for 'Us'
    'We' both fight
    for what's true
    I write poems for You
    I pour out my heart
    I cry and I sing
    I tell You every part
    I give You everything
    only You and only Me
    climbing in the right direction
    toward grace and eternity
    objects of each others' affection
    what blessings will this new year bring
    hope for peace hope for love
    angels begging 'Us' together to sing
    to carry hope from above
    and a balm for weary souls
    bound together as one
    burning in a passion rapt
    fused forever like the sun
    one flaming heart
    bound for eternity
    let's walk let's start
    this cosmic journey
    today in twenty twenty four
    let's make a stand
    let's stand for love and reconciliation
    let's obey hope's command
    love one another
    sing for peace
    sing for grace
    occupy a holy place
    here in 'Our' soul
    where I've loved You forever
    as 'We' near 'Our' goal
    home to heaven together
    let's sing for hope
    let's sing for freedom
    to the stars let's elope
    let's use this wisdom
    to enlighten 'Our' mind
    as 'We' walk heaven's beaches
    amazed at what 'We' find
    grateful for all love teaches
    won't You smile upon me today
    my darling soul
    won't You listen as I pray
    that 'We' will be made whole
    yin and yang
    yang and yin
    one soul reunited
    this year let's begin
    to heal old wounds
    forgive and forget
    learn from 'Our' mistakes
    rejoice in 'Our' lucky breaks
    what will this new year bring
    a smile to Your Goddess face
    a song to Your lovely lips
    to which my aching heart skips
    a beat in Your inspired melody
    gets lost in Your tranquility
    catches up on the refrain
    and releases all the pain
    of waiting
    end
    My darling beautiful immortal soul Shawn Colvin. You inspire me to try. You teach me to cry and I do whenever I think that You might have a place for me somewhere in this cosmic tapestry that You wove in Your well-lit place in the sky. Centuries ago You wrote this script that resonates with me. I'm mesmerized by Your beauty grace courage wisdom and voice so I ask again my darling will You take me to France? Will You save the last dance for me? I'll take lessons willingly but in any case, Shawn, please remember me fondly as You can. Please 'know' that I love You forever no matter what happens but I pray that maybe this year we'll talk as seer to seer both 'seeing' that this love I feel for You is 'real' and eternal. I love You now as always and always will. May God bless You this year Shawn Colvin with inspiration for Your lovely mind. May Your spirit be lifted and may You sing as heaven intended. Meanwhile I'll watch the stars for any sign and You'll be the first to 'know' if 'We' are to be blessed but I 'know' that You already 'know' so I must pray to You again. Please be kind. You never know what You may find in a heart that skips a beat but catches up to You in time to 'know' true love.
    All my affection trust and faith is with You this year Shawn and if I don't get to see You go in peace grace and love as You always have and always will. You always have been a beacon to my soul so please don't be angry because I followed it home to You. Quantum Kisses Forever for You from Everywhere Michelle Colvin
