One of my Latin teachers showed this in class today. I must say, I really enjoy his lessons, even though I'm not technically one of his students.

[darkprose]

@ChaChaFingerGuns You are studying Latin?

[darkprose]

@ChaChaFingerGuns Are you in a Catholic high school?

[ChaChaFingerGuns]

@darkprose Yes I do take Latin, and no. I go to a magnet school. It's my favorite subject.

[darkprose]

@ChaChaFingerGuns That's fantastic. Good for you.

@trooubermensch Amen! 'Way too slow. I know the entire poem, this treatment is simply not in character. Agree re: the singer too.

[trooubermensch]

Man, this is ridiculously slow. It doesn't fit with what the song is about (confusion about your strong desire to get drunk and pork fat chicks or to be virtuous and Christian-y). However, I can say that this vocalist is the first I heard to really perform "con spirito".

SEPHIROTH! SEPHIROTH!

Personally, I like it at this speed. I truly think it's the best variant I have heard.
