Cooper Grodin sings Kurt Weill "Es Regnet"

Cooper Grodin sings Kurt Weill "Es Regnet"
Words and music by Kurt Weill sugested by Jean Cocteau
English translation by Cooper Grodin
Piano: George Ferencz
Video: Aja Heuss


I dont ask
I may not ask
for you have said "don't ask"
but I can barely hear your car
I think: say or don't say
she has everthing written on her face

Believe you then that only the mouth speaks?
eys are like window glass
through each window one sees everything
close you're eyes, its worse
my eyes hear something, something other then my ears
for pain was i born

Let my face lie on the window
the sun shines no more
"It rains" says the window glass
it says only what it thinks!
Let us weep together
together weep

Wow, this is beautiful!... Here Mr. Cooper Grodin looks so different from the "CSI #2 Audition" video?

This is an extremely moving performance of a piece I had not heard before. There is true intimacy in your singing & I can feel the unspoken things of which the text speaks through the emotions you and the pianist convey. Really beautiful.
