Shakespeare's Lyrics: Were The World Mine (Were the world mine)

Lyrics for the song "Were the world mine" from the marvellous film "Were the world mine" and where you can find them in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream".

***

"I cheated because I watched it on DVD, so I would watch a song and then back it up and have "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on my laptop, and search on the lyrics. It was kind of amazing how it jumps all over.

Williams: It's brilliant like that.

And it flows well, it doesn't seem like you pulled these jigsaw pieces from all over the place.

Gustafson: That was all Cory (James Krueckeberg). He went through the whole script and picked out lines that really jump out and then constructed the songs to tell our own story and how to make that into the story that we wanted to tell."

Congratulations! This is a terrific video! It shows clearly how the writer used Shakespeare's real words to construct a beautiful song.

Tanner Cohen's angelic voice has been noted several times, but Nathaniel David Becker, also, has an incredible voice. It is spotlighted in this song, and his appearance on film is a showstopper. The chemistry between the two young actors and the way their voices blend truly makes this scene, and the whole movie, work.

I love this but now I'm going to start singing all through rehearsals, as our theater group just decided to do this play for our non-season performance. We haven't cast it yet but no matter who gets what part, I'll be thinking any phrases in the songs to be sung when I hear it, lmao! Ah, lovely video!

Well, that solves that mystery for me. Thank you!

This is such a beautiful song. I literally cannot stop listening to it. Tanner Cohen is such a wonderful actor, and he's absolutely perfect for the roll of Timothy!

Knowing the lyrics to this song made reading 'A Midsumer's Dream' in (somewhat) original language a whole lot more fun... =)
