The Thorn Birds - Original Sin

This video is about the lifelong love story of Ralf de Briccassar, a tormented priest, and Maggie Cleary, a young Australian girl, determined to get the man that she loves. The song is Original Sin by Elton John, and it's pretty old, but the music is really beautiful and the lyrics fit the story perfectly! Enjoy! :)

"Original Sin"

Oh, it's carnival night
And they're stringing the lights around you
Hanging paper angels
Painting little devils on the roof

Oh the furnace wind
Is a flickering of wings about your face
In a cloud of incense
Yea, it smells like Heaven in this place

I can't eat, can't sleep
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
That face, those eyes
All the sinful pleasures deep inside

Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
Underneath my skin,
Oh you were always my original sin
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
This dangerous game
Oh you were always my original sin

A dream will fly
The moment that you open up your eyes
A dream is just a riddle
Ghosts from every corner of your life

Up in the balcony
All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand
Blowing theater kisses
Reciting lines they don't understand

I can't eat, can't sleep
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
That face, those eyes
All the sinful pleasures deep inside

Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
Underneath my skin,
Oh you were always my original sin
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
This dangerous game
Oh you were always my original sin

@swastikausa back in the day, bryan was cute enough, but did you watch the extra on the thorn bird dvd, "old friends, new stories?" Both Bryan and Rachel have not aged very well, yet Richard Chamberlain, a good twenty years older then both, still looks wonderful. It is good to see that Rachel and Bryan appear to have a great relationship though.....I like that they are still joking around with each other after so many years together.

@victoriasvintage

Yeah she would have had the priest in bed too, if he let her.

i'm going to read this book, come back later.

btw, this song is awesome :)

It would be cool if someone did a  video of Phil Collins "You'll Be In My Heart" It would really match this film.

I think Meggie still had her wedding ring on when having sex with Ralph. That's brazen!

@shaddybaby

Richard was 23 years older than Rachel. I think Bryan is a decade older. yeah RC ages well.

@AlessandraW19 Amazon ! The last couple of days before I leave this country will be spent watching thorn birds and beauty and the beast season 1 .

[chantalalexander]

This may be trivial, but gay or straight Richard Chamberlain as the priest is ridiculously hot! I'm sorry but the only "Godly" thing he makes me think of when I see him is Oh My God the man is Hot. lol

you can buy it on play.com

Silly question, is it on DVD? Throne birds came out before my time.
