Wish You Were Here (RERECORDED)

Beethoven's beautiful Moonlight Sonata (Piano Sonata number 14) sets the scene for this original spoken word piece entitled "Wish You Were Here". I was very lucky to stumble across a website which included beautiful Angel pictures, given below. The portrait of Ludwig Van Beethoven is a famous painting by Joseph Karl Stieler.

Please share this video with anyone who appreciates fine literature, music, and art.

Words:

WISH YOU WERE HERE

The rocky cliff ascends skyward, and the radiant moonlight pours over its face, creating a stellar interplay of lucent amber stone and forbidding shadow. Along the base of the cliff extend countless miles of glistening white sand, gently sloping into the nearby shoreline. As I gaze in pensive surrender at the tranquil, aquatic expanse before me, I just wish you could experience it in first hand.

The moon glows an angelic halo, and the shimmers of platinum moonlight skip a whimsical fandango over the rippling ocean. The stars sparkle in brilliant contrast to the rich, amethyst eve, like the enchanting way snowflakes used to glisten in your hair.

The seagulls sing a melancholy tune to the somber rhythm of the crashing waves. The brisk night air cools my skin, but is sullied by the wistful rustling of the verdant palms. The stars seem to coalesce into constellations that spell your name, and I can't help but wonder if you're out there, admiring this same aventurine sky.

The heavenly bodies evanesce into their daily obscurity as the blanket of darkness makes way for the harsh glow of the prevailing dawn. Vivid shades of yellow and orange and red splash across the sky, enlivened by streaks of electric fuchsia. The sky is a breathtaking tableau of color - but it's only bittersweet without you. For you see, a sunrise just isn't that beautiful without someone special with whom to share it, and I want to thank you for being the one who makes all my sunrises beautiful.

[RushAndRuleIt]

I'm not playing the piano here. I also didn't draw the pictures; I got them off a website given in the video description.

The words and voice are mine, though. I put it all together to paint the best mental picture I could.

Its a very good effort friend. I like the writing. My only criticism (constructive of course, or at least that's its intention), is that your voice comes off monotone and it sounds more like you're reading it than sharing. Memorize the piece to the point of exhaustion, and then TELL us how you feel, not read it. Change the tone of your voice to convey the different emotions. Listen to other S.W. artists for inspiration. Pay attention to phrasing too. You have some potential my friend, good luck!

[RushAndRuleIt]

Thanks for watching. Perhaps I need voice acting classes? Anyway, I do regard myself as more of a writer than anything else.

[jbsingsherheartout]

HAHA your so right!

[HikariHime29]

Your voice reminds me of Ben Stein from Faris Bueller's Day Out.

Thanks! I'm glad you caught the subtle undertones of my writing. I know youtube isn't exactly the ideal venue for poetic nuance, so it always feels good to find someone who appreciates such work. Cheers!
