make you feel my love


it was at the rooftop bar - somewhere (she doesn't want to reveal the place). 
she said it was a very beautiful moment. 
had a drink with her man, cloudy...., weather forecast was not promising. 
she said only two of them at the rooftop bar. 
then suddenly a slow pouring of tropical rain went down when then the bar-girl played this song.
sun was about completely set, the orange colour slightly remained, mixed with the grey-ish colour of the faded thunderstorm.

she said, "we starred each other, words would not be enough to express the feel. Perfect moment...., perfect drink...., perfect song....., perfect place. i want to preserve the moment forever. be with him as much as i can."

i know she is in love. therefore, i dedicated this post for you my dearest friend.

"make you feel my love" is a song originally written and performed by bob dylan, included in his thirteenth studio album time out of mind (1997). 
It is a bluesy rock song, produced by daniel lanois, which describes the regret one may feel for not being with someone they love.
adele included a piano-driven cover version of the song in her debut studio album 19 (2008) and released it as the fifth single from the album. 
adele’s version was produced by jim abbiss and performed well commercially.
below i gave both versions.






lyric:
when the rain is blowing in your face

and the whole world is on your case

i could offer you a warm embrace

to make you feel my love

when the evening shadows and the stars appear

and there is no one there to dry your tears

i could hold you for a million years

to make you feel my love

i know you haven't made your mind up yet

but I would never do you wrong

i've known it from the moment that we met

no doubt in my mind were you belong
i'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

i'd go crawling down the avenue


no, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

to make you feel my love
the storms are raging on the rolling sea

and on the highway of regret

the winds of change are blowing wild and free

you ain't seen nothing like me yet
i could make you happy, make your dreams come true

nothing that I wouldn't do

go to the ends of the Earth for you

to make you feel my love
to make you feel my love

sicilienne - gabriel faure


i like gabriel faure since beginning. mostly the compositions i like is written in minor keys. 
pie jesu, sicilienne, etc.

i personally, do not like watching movies/drama series. accidentally, one day i turn of the tv channel, and found a japanese musical drama titled: 'nodame cantabile'. i love the music. then, again accidentally when i need short movies for training, i visited http://www.viki.com, and found the korean version of nodame cantabile, which titled 'tomorrow cantabile'. i started following the series because of the music. 

in one of the episode, the story focusing on a talented cellist who has tendon problem on his left hand, and he chose sicilienne as his last piece to perform. 



sicilienne op.78, a composition of gabriel faure. actually it is part of incidental music (incidental music, can be translated as a 'background music') for molière's le bourgeois gentilhomme, the piece was never used for it. it was used as a solo for cello (or violin) with piano accompaniment. first published in 1898, it was dedicated to the British cellist william henry squire (1871-1963).

being just composed as a 'background music', this piece becoming a very popular classical music. many arrangements then came up for different instrument. solo guitar, solo piano, flute + piano, harp + flute, etc.

i attached herewith, a score for solo guitar:

below is a youtube clip, of the original version: cello + piano.
