Rigoletto - The Curse
You guys... this movie was my childhood... not, it is my life. It’s so beautiful, so emotional. It was my light during the dark of life. I watch it every year, without fail, and when I have children they too will watch it.
It you haven’t, you should. They have it on YouTube or you can buy it on Amazon or Ebay. But you should watch this beautiful, beautiful movie.
I absolutely, ABSOLUTELY thought Joseph Paur was the most handsomest man in the entire world and his voice was hypnotic, and emotional, and powerful.
The music in this movie is what I used to sing to my mom to make her smile while she was crying. So every time I watch this I also hold that memory.
I also sang The Melody Within for my first public non-choir competition, and even though I was so scared my vision was black and my knees shaking to the point of almost giving out, my love for that song helped me finish!
We've heard the tale since we were young, Heard the songs that have been sung, About an evil spell.
Someone beautiful is cursed We feel sad through every verse Til a kiss and all is well
The message that no one can see Is clearer to someone like me
There is no curse or evil spell That's worse than one we give ourselves There is no sorcerer as cruel, As the proud, angry fool.
And yet, we cry life isn't fair Beneath our cries the truth is there
The power that will break the spell We should know very well Is locked within ourselves
Yet we'd rather blame, And curse our fate than change We run from everyone to hide from the pain And all the shame
The story's old we know it well About a wretched evil spell The power that will break this curse Oh I know all too well Is locked within myself
