    Cried so much, thinking of the movie, their love, and watching the faces of these men who were so effected, obviously singing from experience. Thank you for posting this.

    My friend is a super-conservative Catholic. I'm almost there. He loves the movie! My own experience was that when HL died, I mourned his loss in this way: I'd go to my favorite deep canyon in SC in any weather. Sometimes it was very cold, but I'd be there, alone, walking the dark trail in the evening, with the soundtrack in my headphones. After nearly two years, my broken heart started to mend. I wrote thank you letters to Jake G. and Willie N. And I could sing along with the cassette. My favorite is "The Maker Makes" by Rufus Wainwright. Didn't know his address. Wrote to Heath just before the Academy Awards. Told him his performance as Ennis was truly amazing, considering he had no models to emulate. Turns out he said he based Ennis on an ;uncle of his.

    A Love That Will Never Grow Old - GUSTAVO ALFREDO SANTAOLALLA -
    Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
    Just lay back in my arms for one more night
    I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
    Saying this one's the love of our lives
    'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
    And I know a love that will never grow old
    When you wake up the world may have changed
    But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
    Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night
    And your laughter's like wind in my sails
    'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
    And I know a love that will never grow old
    Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time
    Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long
    Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
    In a world that may say that we're wrong
    'Cause I know a love that will never grow old
    And I know a love that will never grow old

      @@pauldunstan4495 I left the chorus after 23 years in 2016 because I moved to AZ. I'm still connected to the chorus and as of now there are no plans that I know of for it to do another European tour in the near future. The chorus made a trip to NYC to sing in a joint concert at Carnigie Hall with other choruses hosted by NYC Gay Men's chours and next year they along with hundreds of other choruses from this country and around the world will be attending GALA, a chorus music festival attended by gay, lesbian, trangender and youth choruses from this country and from around the world. It will be in Minneapolis, I believe. so, they have been busy and will continue to be busy with their current concert cycle and the festival. Hopefully there will be another European tour in the future. But in the meantime, feel free to fly to LA for one of their concerts and enjoy it and the SoCal area while you're there. Cheers!!! And thanks for your interest in this wonderful men's chorus!

    Após 15 anos eu ainda continuo me inspirando e acompanhando este filme belíssimo. A espera por um amor assim nunca irá sair do meu objetivo! Seguindo essa história como outras sempre chego a mesma conclusão que o mais difícil não é ser aceito ou se aceitar , mas sim deixar de ser manipulado pelas influencias negativas que a sociedade nos impõem e sempre vão impedir o amor puro entre dois homens. Brokeback Mountain não é apenas um filme que retrata algo polêmico mas sim uma válvula de escape para um gay serio que realmente vive para o amor e espera por isso. Devemos considerar muito esses atores pois nenhum deles deixou a desejar no quesito verdade! Desde ontem voltei assistir o filme e como sempre ele nos toca bem fundo e agregado as paisagens, os sons das cordas das violas juntamente com o sons dos riachos e ventos fortes entro novamente nessa história, nessa bela e emocionante história, afim de viver a "ilusão" de um amor impossível cheio de verdade e emoção.
    Sem Palavras para explicar a sensação que esse coral me causou. Obrigado!
