Thanks gentlemen, for your comments. L'immensita really does sound a little like "The House of the Rising Sun". In fact, if the right guitarist is playing for me when we do it live it is amazingly close. However, there are a few differences. There is an Italian version of "The House..." and this not it.
"L'immensita" means 'the Immensity'... and is a very popular love song. The part you're hearing says, "for every drop that falls, another flower is born... and on that flower, a butterfly will fly... I am certain that in this great 'immensity' there is love even for someone like me... "
My one song is also about love, "Per Eterno" means for "Eternity". It's a Wedding Song I wrote, and hope to translate into English.
The song "Un'Altra Vita" means yes... Another Life! Did you study Italian or use Google Translate? ;)
That song was written one day when I was just thinking about what it would be like to have 'another life'. I believe we've all thought about that at some point in time. By the end of the song of course, I resolve the issue by stating that 'in the end, it's important to make peace with self, because we are each here for a reason... and even if we're old, "the fountain of youth can flow freely again" as long as we are happy with 'who' we are, not wasting time crying over who we wish we were...

I have thought of translating my songs, but I'm not ready to do that yet. I have so MANY English songs I've written and haven't had a chance to put into production because of the cost (the only reason I've done so with my Italian compositions is that I've entered several Italian Song Competitions with them)... I never thought about translating what i already have music for, until recently, when several people have told me I should...

I'm going to sound completely ignorant now, but "who is... Shirley Bassey?" What style does she sing? Jazz? Cuz I really LOVE jazz, but I don't sing much of it. One of my English compositions is called, "Got So Many Faces" and it borders on the jazzy... but I need to have the instrumental arrangements redone, because I'm not completely happy with what I have...
I sing Patsy Cline's, "Crazy" with an attitude though... And I wish I could play guitar well enough again to be able to put the right chords to my compositions BEFORE i go to someone else to work on the arrangements.
Anyway... thanks again, Gentlemen for your interest. I'm glad you liked the clips.
I'm going to have to post an entire song there though... I don't feel the "clips" fill the need to allow planners to hear enough to best decide for or against hiring me for their Events.
If you care to hear a full song, let me know...
Blessings to you both!
Victoria.
