Be a beauty queen before God
about a month before our wedding, the bomb told me he wanted me to walk down the aisle to Miss Sarajevo (a duet bet. U2 and Luciano Pavarotti)
The song is about the women of Sarajevo, who, despite the war, put on a beauty pageant to try to feel a bit normal.
he said I was his beauty queen (which is quite possibly one of the nicest things he's ever said to me)
so I get the sheet music and the day of the wedding, the organist comes out to me waiting in the limo and tells me that the organ is missing keys and he can't play the song. so the story of my life LOL
I was a little disappointed, but really, I didn't give a hoot. I would have walked down to anything.
so anyway, I babble but I was listening to it today, but a live version from Milan. Pavarotti obviously doens't tour with them, so Bono sings his part as well and I can't decide which version I![]()
more...the Pavarotti, with his unbelievable voice...or Bono's...who natural born ability may not compare to Luciano...but who's passion and conviction transform his voice into something so beautiful...
with Pavarotti
iwthout Pavarotti
the video for the song has clips of the pageant. It's very moving.
Come fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare
