Started feeling a little unwell and achy on Wednesday and didn't think much of it.

By Friday I was having palpitations and chest pains and went to A&E/Emergency Room. I was admitted and have been treated for myocarditis and pericarditis since.

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?

Primrose Hill

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.

Primrose Hill (Part II)

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.
