Why is that that people can't just be here to be people? if you die and find out that there is no god, will you just assume that life is useless, or will you think that maybe we are simply here to make the world a better place for those who come after us.
As Delenn said in Babylon 5: We are the universe, trying to understand itself.
Phoenix, yes, and thanks for pointing it out. Life would be absolutely meaningless if there is nothing after death. This is in fact the only valid reason for faith, but more than sufficient.
You are right that one of the most famous Pie Jesu is from Lloyd Webber's requiem, but the lyrics comes from Dies Irae which is a famous thirteenth century Latin hymn. The music for this version of Pie Jesu is written by Michael Hoppe.
PhoenixPlaneswalker: This is not Andrew Lloyd Webbers Pie Jesu. This is a 13th century Latin Hymn from the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath). It is attributed to Thomas of Celano an Italian friar. Here is the original text. Cecilla sings only the first sentence, repeating it several times.
I absolutely love her music. So far, ave maria is my favorite, but I love this to sooo much.
she has such an angelic voice- it's beyond beautiful. & her music videos are awesome-watching them while listening to the song makes me want to go as a missionary to Africa or something.
Please sing forever, Cecillia- the world needs you.
the most haunting version i had ever heard of this great song that just leaves you breathless,celia touches ones heart with this fantastic version with audio and vision of this beautifull song .great upload!!!!
This song is nothing short of breathe taking. I just lost my father a week ago and used this song and made a video with pictures for the showing. You can't find a better song to make such impact with photos to touch your soul. Everyone sat and watched more than once. Sorry for the ramble. God Bless All..
I don't know if this is the best performance of the song, but I have to say that this lady has done something unique with song, completely different to every single former version.
This song makes me so happy that I have just cried and that my poetry that I have wrote is now wet
