The Face of All the World is Changed, I Think (robtob, orh & alfstone)

[alfstone]

A new chapter for our "Stolen Words" project.

This poem was written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)


The face of all the world is changed, I think,
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul
Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole
Betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink
Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,
Was caught up into love, and taught the whole
Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole
God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,
And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.
The names of country, heaven, are changed away
For where thou art or shalt be, there or here;
And this ... this lute and song ... loved yesterday,
(The singing angels know) are only dear,
Because thy name moves right in what they say.

Music composed by Roberto (AKA robtob)
Vocals: James (AKA Giacomino)
myself: guitar solo, mixing and mastering

Enjoy!

This is very, very clever. How ORH mananged to twist the words into a coherent lyrical structure is quite a feat. The music is beautiful too - so lush and gentle, and it builds very well indeed. Such a tasty and melodic solo too. Mighty fine work.

This is the video from The song Remember
from another english poetry that i love

I hope that my daughter (14 years) and I
have done a decent  (and not ridiculous) work that respects the beauty of poetry

Italian mother tongue as we are
can not judge him until the end
a warm greeting to James,  to alfredo and to all of you

[Hilary]

Oh yes, a glorious collab - congrats gents and Roberto, Remember is equally glorious (I love the way your daughter ends her phrases btw)

I'm looking forward to hearing more

[Oldrottenhead]

[Jarle]

Wonderful song. The music is so beautiful and the vocal so relaxed. Second..., no third listen...
