[crazymelomanka]

the bagpipes and violin intro simply makes this song absolutely marvelous

[CinsAngel0309]

I love this song. Can't get enough of it. Sometimes you just got sit back and relax to Josh Groban.

[Rocketchair1989]

Josh Groban fans I only recently found Solo Por Ti and its a new fav of mine... its frustrating tho I cant find it live anywhere

[OktagonKontro1]

I don't normally listen to this kind of music, but I love this song. My mother is a huge Josh Groban fan and has all of his albums. She plays them so much, that Groban grew on me lol.

This song and "Alla Luce Del Sole" are my favorites.

[Rocketchair1989]

[Rocketchair1989]

Once again Josh Groban is saving my sanity in time of chisis

[Rocketchair1989]

Spellbinding unbeliably (misspelled) spellbinding!!!!

[SephirothLamarre]

[vonglucke]

I love this song more than anything!

[animefreek4lyfe]

I've been looking for this song for sooo long and didn't know what it was called. I only knew it was Josh Groban. Now that I hear it again, I love it even more!

[netera00]

From the best songs i have heared

[Gamezpussy]

How sweet, at 2:30 you can see how shy and nervous she is. But who wouldn't be. She doesn't need to hide behind josh though.

[msb61ztac]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[Yumiyuri]

I love this song...I wish we can do this in our school choir

[mrdee235]

oh...great song...i luv this song

[HoratioCaineFan]

I want to do a dance to this song!! :) love it sooooooo much!

[TheFezstudio]

Such a beautiful song that sings to the colors of life. Even if one doesn't understand Italian, the emotions are universally understood.

[donnabellecaunin1]

It only means there's no boundaries when it comes to music for it is a universal gift.

[ALNUEIAS]

why Italian ?

[EasyAsLife93]

why not? it´s a beautiful language...and a beautiful voice singing a beautiful language that´s just a perfect match ^^

[eldoran85]

hey just watched this on josh groban awake tour dvd :) he is truley gifted soul and heart ;)

[AwesomePCP]

what an intro!!!!

[ocnlvr]

To lisst17 and 700274, this is from Josh Groban In Concert. I love the pipe at the beginning.

[ms21ailish]

great intro and great song. I love to hear them sing in Italian!

[sokolrarog]

herrlich,delightful, enivrant, упоительно,embriagador...

[cathyandtara]

I don't understand a word of Italian. But it doesn't matter. Josh sings this so beautifully with Andrea Corr.

[Rocketchair1989]

@cathyandtara

I TOTALLY agree with u this song even has the ability to almost make me cry! I am not even an Andrea Corr fan but this duet that she does with Josh makes my heart melt

[phuongnguyen10]

The lyric is in Italian and I CANNOT understand at all!

[lisst17]

i sing to life

[phuongnguyen10]

Josh Groban is the best classics singer!

[700274]

[xxSDanaeBxx]

It's good, but she moves SO MUCH!! its distracting!!!

[rtm2chatter]

[puhssh]

[Gamezpussy]

I sooo want the notes for the violin part at the beginning, but I can't find them anywhere. Guess I have to write them down myself. That will take ages o.O

[thehillbill709]

that violin in the beginning gets me every time!

[misskris111]

Ohhh this was so good, seriously. SO amazing.

[CorrsCorrsCorrs]

Andrea Corr's actually really small - she's probably wearing really high heels :)

by the way - WOW, what a performance

wish i was there :(

[Pawla89]

bravi! btw: andrea's either wearing reeeally high heels or josh groban is reeealy short!

[tapatiadecorazon]

[RavenStar11]

Though this comes from a serious metalhead, this truly rocks. Sumbitch.

[Miguelonsama]

Awesome Performance!

Awesome Song!

Awesome Duet!

Awesome Josh ^^

[shangqinli]

I've been listening to this song (with the lyrics next to me) every night for the last 5 weeks. My previous comments are poor compared to what I feel each time. How can there be such wonder in something that SOUNDS so SIMPLE ? That's beyond me. If you ANALYSE that song, you'll realize how COMPLEX it is.

The eery celtic bagpipe + the violin solo + the drums that changes the rhythm + Josh's opera style + the pop-bit + the mixture of English and Italian, and what do you get ? SOMETHING UNIQUE !

[kevinandsimba]

I agree with everything shangginli said, thank you, pippinmerry, for putting up the complete song! I love everything Josh sang in this concert (when he was just a wee lad!), but Canto was one of the standouts...

Oh, and someone mentioned Josh's little smile, I love that, too! It reminded me of the nervous smile he gave Celine at the end of "The Prayer" when he was 17 and she stopped singing and he was still going! He's so adorable!

[shangqinli]

Thanks Kevin. I guess lots of us are "josh-addicts"... if I may say so.

[kevinandsimba]

Ahh, we are so fortunate to have 'grobanitis,' aren't we! Who wants a cure from something/someone so fabulous? (Of course, I've had to pull back from my enthusing in front of my husband, he's started giving me that 'stern' expression whenever I get a bit carried away!)

[shangqinli]

Dear Kevin, 'grobanitis' is the only disease that is a blessing to be affected with. I'll never want to be cured from it. Hope your husband catches it too.... Keep well

[kevinandsimba]

You are so right, shangginli, I'm sure not looking to get over it! As for my husband, well, I'll keep hoping. He was grudgingly impressed with Josh's drum solo on VH1 (who doesn't like a drummer?), but I think he'd become a fan if Josh went bald and got chubby!-) At the moment, there's too much adorableness going on...

[shangqinli]

A bit jealous he is then ? Just tell your husband you find Josh perfectly ugly and you only like the way he sings.....

[shangqinli]

Another stunning performance by Josh starting with an unexpected celtic bagpipe intro and a wonderful violin solo. The "pop" rythm and the bit in English blend in quite well, and even reinforce Josh's opera style by providing an harmonious contrast. Goes to show you can mix different musical styles and still obtain a wonderful result. I prefer this version to the other one

[jeffdavisfan]

I agree. I loooove the Uilleann pipes...I just wish I knew who that player was..incase he has a cd out.  I've never heard anything this beautiful...I actually have tears in my eyes...and for once it isn't just because of Josh.

[shangqinli]

To Vitweb in reply to your question (Which video precisely ?).

The one submittted by Bjsondak viewed 169,808 times. Mainly, I'm missing something in the lyrics in Part 4. What I've found on the Net up to now doesn't sound right

[vitweb]

come fosse sabbia ...

[shangqinli]

To vitweb: I've made a translation (see the other video). I'd like your opinion and corrections. Grazie mille.

[vitweb]

the exacts words are dedicato a chi la sente inaridita come sabbia asciutta tra le dita e la sente già finita.translation dedicated to whom that fell it( life)become parched likedry sand in his fingers and feel it already done. i'm italian from bologna ciao vit

[MartaEvans90]

Now I understand. Thanks! :) You're Italian so you hadn't any problems with this. ;] And my language is neither italian nor english. Unfortunately...

[mustypaperback]

im adding this to favorites! :)

[MartaEvans90]

Can someone tell me what does mean this stanza:

Dedicato a chi l'ha sempre inaridita

Come impossessato, uscita fra le dita

Era sempre gia finita

I saw english translation, but I don't know what does mean 'made it dry' and 'slipped through fingers' it must be idioms... because world for world translation is pointless.

[CutePi31415]

I love that little smile while he's still singing...*heart attack*

[rainbowspotter]

He is very young here. When was this filmed? Just curious because he seems very very young here. I Love this song. but I'm so used to listening to it by himself.

[AllisonVH]

it was filmed in 2002.

[z7ch]

love the interlude from 4:06 to 4:16 especially, with the piano delicately balancing the emotional bowing of strings

[z7ch]

Josh Groban's talent is undoubted, but what made this video for me was the violinist's (sorry forgot her name) preliminary cadenza from 0:34 to 1:02. And of course, she was equally brilliant after that.

[AllisonVH]

The violinist is Lili Haydn.

[z7ch]

Ah, thank you, that's the name!

[quieroboy]

i like andrea's voice...what a unique combination!especially when the chorus part,when she sings sounds lika alto :)

[sparco543434]

LINDO!!!

[PANZER692]

bravo josh

bellissima andrea!

grazie pippinmemerry

[stardancer225]

I absolutely loved it! I love The Coors, and I love Josh Groban, so seeing them perform together was incredible!

[secret27princess]

Great!
