I'm 17 and aspiring to a career in Opera.
I’m a bass and one of the basses I admire most is Cesare Siepi. What aspects of his technique, his stage presence, or any other areas of his performance really made the whole thing ‘pop’ as far as you're concerned?
I'm not sure how it happened,
That evening on Primrose Hill.
I'm not sure what led us to one another,
What glued us together.
Perhaps it doesn’t matter.
You and me, alone amongst friends.
And, in that moment,
A lifetime's dreams lost their worth.
My only dream:
You and me.
And as we watched the sunset,
I knew I would never let the sun set
On that hill.
————————————
Did it really happen, that evening on Primrose Hill?
I know it did.
I can feel your kisses still.
I’m not sure why it had to end,
That night on Primrose Hill.
I’m not sure what led us away from one another,
What tore us apart,
Perhaps it doesn’t matter.
Me.
Alone.
And in that moment,
Hopes and dreams
Lost their worth.
My only dream —— you and me
—— became a nightmare.
And as I watched the sunset,
I knew it could not rise again
On that Hill.
————————————
Did it really happen?
That evening on Primrose Hill?
Maybe I wish it hadn’t.
But I can feel your kisses,
And I long for them,
Still.
