Musical Sunday

Chances are that you've never heard of the Swiss singer Erkan Aki. I hadn't, until I heard this song played for a slow waltz heat at a dance competition, and I was struck by the power and beauty of his voice. I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard ...

Here are the lyrics:

I've gone many ways

Just to see who I am

Been stranded in faith 

There were moments

But through your eyes I can see

That as long as I believe

I'll know that I'm still me

You touched me and saw

There were times I was weak

You turned every fault

Into fortune

'cause through your eyes I can see

That as long as I believe

I'll know that I'm still me

And if my dreams have all been shattered

If my will is pale from battle

Your love gives me hope and meaning

Like a breath of spring

The will to survive

Can be distant at times

But I'll stay alive for tomorrow

'cause through your eyes I can see

That as long as I believe

I'll know that I'm still me

Yes through your eyes I can see

That as long as I believe 

I'll know that I'm still me

I'm still me, too. Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
