We’re living in a world of stars and dust.
Between heaven –
and all that surrounds us.
We’re travelers here –
spirits passing through.
And the love we give is all that will endure…
Tears will leave no stain,
Time will ease the pain.
For every light that fades
Something beautiful remains.
Words are here, finally, superfluous. Let’s us listen then. Let us remember Pavarotti, both the Sacred and the Profane.
In His Prime
About to face a firing squad, the singer remembers how the stars shimmered when he last held his beloved, and saying farewell to life, he cries “I die hopeless, despairing, and never before have I loved life like this!”
With “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business”
With L * I * Z * A
His Final Bow
Already sick with the pancreatic cancer that would kill him last week, Pavarotti appears at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turino and still sings the hell out of that damn signature song.
Goodbye, noble voice. Something beautiful does indeed remain.
He is a wonderful man!!! I will miss him.*sob*
grazie
it was toughing to find Luciano here…
ciao Luciano!
Thank you for this. And thank God for him.
What a sad day that has been… though one could have seen it coming with his health going into a steep drop.
An angel has left us.
We have lost a good man and a great artist. His guest vocal appearance on U2’s Miss Sarajevo (singing the opera solo) always makes me shiver.
Thanks for the tribute John. I’ve been feeling so much sadness all week for the loss of such a gorgeous voice and a truly larger than life artist and man. Luciano was and always will be a precious gem. He rocked my world and it pains me that he’s gone.
Appreciate your composition John..THE VOLUME AND VELOCITY OF HIS BEING at Torino…Zounds In his tribute to ‘BIG LUCIE’ Father Raymond deSouza quoted from Dante ‘a love that moves the sun and the other stars”
