Sarah Brightman can sing anything she wants to and can do a great job. Her Dive, Harem, and Symphony albums proved she has a wide range of talent and her performance in this movie was amazing. I watched this movie not thinking I would like it but it was great! Even Paris Hilton wasn't too bad...
Sarah Brightman is an actual Opera singer and when I heard in an interview, before she got onto this movie, they called her right when she was working on an album debut. She's got albums out. I listen to her every night before I go to bed. Her music is so soothing and wonderful.
@DaGrimRetard Any store really that sells orchestra/opera. Where about are you? Are you in the states? If you're in the states you can try this store called Coconuts. It's a store that you can order from and they find the album(s) you want and they sell it to you. Here in my state and city thats where I got mostly some Sarah Brightman albums. If you're not a fan of opera....Sarah Brightman isn't for you but either way she's a talented musician and an amazing opera singer. I'd suggest that.
This song is a perfect example of what Sarah Brightman is capable of. One of my favorite things is that her voice differs between languages. Like in Italian she has a very rotund, powerful (I want to say deep, but I can't describe it) voice, and then in English, she loses that quality but still sounds beautiful.
The scene where she rips her eyes out always makes me cringe, it's so painful to watch yet she looks so happy even when it is done. It's an amazingly sad moment :(
@keniakittykat How right you are! I am 15. And I love this Movie so much. It is just so awesome and like no other Movie before. Something specially :D
@SparklingAngel93 I'm pretty sure it's Italian. If you look at the lyrics its definitely not latin. Italian is derived from latin as a romance language.
I don't mean this in a bad way, and I don't know if anyone has said it yet, but have you ever noticed how it sounds like she's saying "Lady Gaga" at 1:06 - 1:09?
does anyone know if the score for this song is availiable anywhere? i'm a soprano(professional singer in training, with a goal to eventually get to opera level), and i want to try to work this song up for auditions if there is a score available
(Translation) Once a long time ago, There lived a bird, the fatal bird, She flew to an archer's arrow on the islands of Saint Paul, For years she had run from the arrow, Beleiving it was chasing her. They asked, why not continue to outfly the danger? They could not see that the arrow was tied to her wing. She flew to untie it and free them both. By dragging the arrow, others wounded, By my carelessness, my carelessness! Down, towrds the devil's mouth- His arrow, my eyes!
A long time ago, A fatal bird named Chromaggia met the arrow of an archer while flying Along the lava coasts for years, thinking she was being chased She escaped the arrow Chromaggia, Chromaggia Why not face the danger? The arrow was attached to her wing And she wanted to be free. Dragging the arrow, Others get hurt and its my fault My fault. Down! Towards the mouth of the devil Her arrow, in my eyes.
um ok, i know it kills some of the magic, but it's human instincts to NOT poke their own eyes out, and even if they did, they'd be sceeching in pain, NOT SMILING AS IF THEY WERE IN BLISS. Awesome voice, no question
@xandrawood Why would it hurt? Those aren't her real eyes anyway and since she didn't seem to feel much pain at all I doubt they were even connected to pain nerves or however that works with the eyes.
Plus, she was willing to do it so she didn't care much about the pain and if she didn't care, then why would she bother screaming?
@Platsick wow, i didnt think of that. i mean, her eyes can even make holograms, obviously not normal. im just REALLY squeemish when it comes to eye-pokes. i cant even wear contacts!
Mag has guts i never could have ripped out my own eyes even if i knew they were going to get repoessed anyways. also She is an amazing singer i dont know anyone who could hit those notes.
@gumdropz2252 the entire song is about the fact that if she want to leave, and they wont let her, then she will take her own eyes. they have been trapping her to long.
@gumdropz2252 I know quite a few opera singers and a select few classical singers who can reach those lovely high notes. In all honesty, Sarah is looked down upon within the Opera community. Many opera singers agree. I remain neutral on it being I've heard good and bad things about her voice.
@xskullxkissesx that kinda bugs me. i know its not your opinion but she is really good. i'd really love to hear what real opera singers have to say about her. i know that she has a really bad habit with over use of vibrato but other than that... mind you im am so not an expert, just sayin' ya know?
@TheOperaPhanatic I want to go into opera vocals. I've been classically trained for nearly ten years of my life, so I can 'prepare' my voice for taking it a step further and going into opera. I listen to Tarja Turnnen. Tarja has a bit of tendency to put her accent into her live voice, but that's not really something you can help.
As for Mag, it doesn't sound like she's using her head voice. The 'head voice' means your letting your sound resonate in your skull, not forcing it from your throat
she was leaving because she wanted to do opera and Rotti was forcing her to do music she thought was beneath her. This song is from her first and only show without him
@SlightlySaracstic I agree, and I myself sing too - knowing the language and the translation to your native language is what adds so much extra emotion. Although singing brings the emotion out, you can interpret it to an entire new level and add more to it if you understand what you are singing. Understanding things adds to a perfect performance if you're able to feel it.
