Reply #2: A song in my head

[jokerman93]

Thanks I Have A Dream,

(I have a dream too! :hi:) Your post is inspirational and confirming.

I woke up one morning last week with this beautiful tune running in my head - and it's stayed with me since. It's from Sally Potter's "Orlando". If anyone hasn't seen this wonderful film (as well as her other films e.g. The Tango Lesson), please do! Her work is brilliant and deeply in touch with the creative heart. It seems appropriate to share in response to your post. Here's the lyrics:

I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you.
In this moment of unity
I’m feeling only an ecstasy
To be here, to be now
At last I am free-
Yes - at last, at last
To be free of the past
And of a future that beckons me.

I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman nor a man -
We are joined, we are one
With a human face
We are joined, we are one
With a human face
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I’m being born and I am dying.

~Jimmy Somerville
