Un San Valentino dark: The Phantom of the Opera

The Phantom of the Opera – The Music of the Night

(cast originale – e strepitoso!):

un video musicale un po' dark, ma mooolto romantico.

Per tutti voi.

Per tutti quelli tra voi che trascorreranno San Valentino con il loro innamorato/a
e per quelli che invece staranno da soli,
per quelli che lo passeranno con il loro gatto o il loro cane o qualunque altro animaletto abbiano per amico,
per quelli che lo trascorreranno con un buon libro o un bel film,
ascoltando un disco,
facendo una passeggiata,
ricamando cucendo sferruzzando o uncinettando,
per quelli che lo passeranno a lavorare così sodo che magari si dimenticheranno che è San Valentino,
per quelli che cucineranno una cenetta romantica e stapperanno una bottiglia di prosecco
e per quelli che invece sono a dieta...
Insomma, per tutti, ma proprio tutti.

Buon San Valentino!



TESTO

Phantom:
In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery

Christine:
Were both in you

Entrambi:
And in this labyrinth
Where night is blind
The Phantom of the opera is there
Inside your/my mind

Christine:
He's there, The Phantom of the Opera!

Phantom:
Sing my angel of music!
Sing for me!
Sing my angel of music!
SING FOR ME!


Phantom:
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
(Helpless to resist the notes I write)
(For I compose the music of the night)

Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess you
Open up your mind,
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
