Today is being a magical experience. One of those god-bumps (goose-bumps) days. Possibly because I’ve been in the most beautiful conversations about Heart? During one such conversation, out of the blue, feeling like the softest warmest breeze floating into my ear came the thought of a song which is one of my favorites. Nella Fantasia.

Later in this same afternoon, I went to visit the MySpace of Paulo Coelho. I usually don’t have my pc sound turned on. Today I did have the volume on when I went to Paulo’s MySpace … and floating in the air … Nella Fantasia! I was floating!

I’ve never had my sound on when I’ve been to Paulo’s MySpace before, and, I think this is a song he’s only just added because I seem to recall reading a different song on the player before today. Has it been Nella Fantasia for a while and I only today heard it?

This song connects me to my source … I bliss out listening to its touching beauty … in my heaven, angels sound like this! … feel inspired to share it with you …

In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and in honesty.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.

In my fantasy I see a bright world,
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

Not only is it a beautiful song in my opinion, it also has a little story of perseverance attached to it, which I find powerful:

On the March 1999 video recording of Sarah Brightman’s ‘One Night in Eden’ concert, when introducing the song, she said,

“My next song was originally an instrumental written by the composer Ennio Morricone for the film The Mission. About three years ago I wrote Mr. Morricone, asking if he would give me permission to turn this particular piece into a song. He flatly refused. So every two months I would send yet another begging letter, until I think he got so sick of me he finally relented. And I am really glad that he did, because I think it works beautifully as a song.”

That is strong! Yes, never give up! That is what we experience also, at The Cafe.
