I dont have a clue the song she was singing but damn could she ever belt it. That was amazing! Anyone have a link to the original song?[/quote] It's from [i]Les Miserables[/i] the play. It's called "I Dream A Dream". The lyrics and the choice of song make even more apropos the woman and her sidestory singing it. There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in times gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung No wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we'll live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather [b]I had a dream my life would be So much different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed The dream I dreamed.[/b] Edit: the bolded part being the most powerful, at least to me in general, and especially in light of this Ms Susan Boyle and her previous existence as a spinster, lonely cat owning caretaker of a recently dead mother. And I don't give a damn if it was staged for dramatic effect, which is even likely. It's a hopeful piece of video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some frumpy chick from England on a sensationalized American Idol show, and yepp, I'm bawling. Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
